Translation Guide

Our translation files are hosted and managed on Transifex. It is very easy to sign up for an account and start translation Creative Commons (CC) services into another language.

CC applications such as CC Search and the CC Chooser are used by millions of users worldwide. Translating these services into the languages our users speak and read is integral to making these services accessible to our diverse user base.

We use Transifex to manage our translation files. It provides an intuitive UI and many useful tools. Let's see how you can join us there and get started.

TL;DR: We have a video version of this tutorial if you prefer that as the medium of instruction.
