Make sure you are familiar with the Translation Guidelines before you begin translating. They contain important information like whether or not to translate or transliterate the Project name.

5. Start Translating from the #Translation Priorities & Resources:

The list of resources and translation priorities will help you decide which content to work on first in the Signal project. Some resources are much more important to work on than others because they affect a larger number of Signal users. Dedicate your time on the resources that will make the most impact for users first.

Translation Guidelines

Do not translate "Signal" or other application or project names.

Do not translate or transliterate "Signal" or other project, company or application names that do not have an official or widely adopted regional variation. If you feel speakers of your language would benefit from a transliteration of the project name, please place it in parentheses after the original name.
Example: Psiphon (سايفون)
Some projects have widely used and accepted translations or transliterations of their names. If this is the case in your language, feel free to use the localized version.
Example: تويتر Transliteration of Twitter in Arabic
