Translations
Back to Main Page. Thanks a lot for your interest in translating Open Food Facts (website interface, mobile applications) in new languages and/or improving the existing translations!
Translation workflow
- We use 2 tools to add translations to Open Food Facts: this wiki and Launchpad. Launchpad requires a separate account (or an OpenId account) which takes 30 seconds to create.
- Please join your local channel on Slack and the #translation channel so that we can coordinate.
- You can log in on the wiki (first login on Open Food Facts and you can then login on the wiki automatically) and edit the wiki pages to add/correct translations.
