Translation Guidelines

Translating "Psiphon"
Do not translate or transcribe "Psiphon". If you feel speakers of your language would benefit from a transcription of the project name, please place it in parentheses after the original name.

Example: Psiphon (سايفون)

Placeholders
Many Psiphon strings contain placeholders which may replace HTML or XML tags or variables. It is important to retain those tags in the translation. You can move the placeholders depending on where they should grammatically be placed in your language.

To learn more about how to transfer placeholders from the English text to the translation text, refer to the Transifex documentation
