# Translate Funkwhale
|
|
|
|
Funkwhale depends on community translations to provide a localized experience to all users. All of our UX copy and documentation is written in American English. This isn't accessible to all users.
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in helping us reach more users, we welcome contributions in all languages!
|
|
|
|
## Language coordination
|
|
|
|
Each language team requires a lead who can verify translations. You can see a list of languages and team leads [on our forum](https://forum.funkwhale.audio/d/107-coordinate-translations). If your language isn't available in our platform yet, reach out on the forum and we'll set it up.
|
|
|
|
We can also create language-specific sections of the forum to enable users to discuss things in languages other than English. Language-specific sections require moderators who can enforce the code of conduct. If you're interested in moderating a language-specific section, let us know [on the forum](https://forum.funkwhale.audio/d/18-language-specific-communities).

|
## Weblate
|
|
|
|
Funkwhale uses [Weblate](https://weblate.org) as its translation platform. Weblate provides an easy-to-use web frontend for submitting localized strings.
|
|
|
|
To get started, sign up to our [Weblate instance](https://translate.funkwhale.audio) and follow the instructions to set up your language preferences. The following projects are available for translation:
|
|
|
|
1. Funkwhale: The Funkwhale web app
|
|
2. Funkwhale for Android: Our official Android app
|
|
3. Funkwhale.audio: Our website
|
|
4. Documentation: This documentation hub
|
|
|
|
## Guidelines
|
|
|
|
We trust each language team to deliver translations that are tonally consistent with the source language. Where applicable, follow these guidelines:
|
|
|
|
1. Use gender-neutral language
|
|
2. Use informal speech patterns, including contractions
|
|
3. Use sentence case for all content, including titles. For example: "Language coordination" rather than "Language Coordination"
