Tor Project Translations April 2019. yellow indicates resources completed and reviewed

Tor Project

The Tor Project project in Transifex contains the resources necessary to localize Tor Browser, Tor for Android and several other Tor-related services like Tails and HTTPS Everywhere.

To release a localized version of Tor Browser, Mozilla's Firefox Extended Support Release must first be available.

You can contribute to Mozilla Firefox translations through Mozilla's localization platform Pontoon.

Tor Browser Essentials

These resources are required for a Tor Browser "minimum viable product" release and should be translated first:

Torbutton - aboutDialog.dtd (translate)
Torbutton - aboutTBUpdate.dtd (translate)
Torbutton - about:tor homepage (translate)
Torbutton - brand.dtd (translate)
Torbutton - brand.properties (translate)
Tor button - browseronboardingproperties (translate)
Tor button - securityLevel.properties (translate)
Torbutton - torbutton.dtd (translate)
Torbutton - torbutton.properties (translate)
Tor Launcher - network-settings.dtd (translate)

Tor Browser Supplemental

These resources are not absolutely required for a Tor Browser release, but they are highly valuable for maximum Tor Browser usability and publicity:

BridgeDB (translate)
The website at https://bridges.torproject.org
HTTPS Everywhere - ssl-observatory.dtd
HTTPS Everywhere - https-everywhere.properties
Tor Misc - animation-titles.pot
Tor Misc - tor-and-https.pot
Tor Misc - ExoneraTor.properties
TorCheck - TorCheck.pot
Release_tweets (translate)
Small phrases to use on Twitter. Help us spread the word about Tor in your language!

Tor Project Web

The Tor Project Web project can accept translations from languages that Tor Browser cannot support (due to Mozilla ESR limitations listed above.)

The resources below are listed by priority. Please respect the order of the list and always keep the highest priority translations updated before starting a translation further down the list.
Tor Support Portal (translate, preview, stats)
FAQ with the basics about what Tor is and how to use it. Translations needed!
Tor Browser User Manual (translate, preview, stats)
A great resource for starting to understand privacy and for first-time users of Tor. Translations needed!
Tor Project Animation (translate)
Subtitles for the "How Tor Protects Your Privacy" video.
Tor Project Homepage (translate, preview)
Note: The Tor Project staff bios are the lowest translation priority in this resource. You can filter them out and prioritize the rest of the website content by inputing "tags_not_contains:bio" in the Filters field in the Transifex translation editor.
Tor Project Outreach Materials (translate)
Collection of Tor user stories and how-to information for community outreach.
Tor Project Donate Page (translate)
Tor Project donations page.

Miscellaneous Content

Tails

This operating system includes Tor Browser and other privacy-preserving features and apps. It is based on Debian and offers many locales translated on Debian. But Tails in itself has a series of interfaces and messages to translate too.

Tails Installer - the application to install Tails USB sticks translate
Tails - mat-gui - the Metadata Anonimization Toolkit translate
Tails Misc - tails.pot
Tails - onioncircuits.pot
Tails - openpgp-applet.pot
Tails - tails-greeter-2.pot
Tails - tails-iuk.pot

Tails - tails-persistence-setup.pot
Tails - whisperback.pot

The Tails website can be translated, see here for their experimental translation interface and here for their translation introduction

This is an extension to use Thunderbird through the Tor network, and other privacy features.
