# Translating Cwtch

If you would like to contribute translations to Cwtch the application or this handbook here is how

## Contributing Translations to the Cwtch Application

There are two ways to contribute to Cwtch applications.

### Join our Lokalise Team

We use [Lokalise](https://lokalise.com) for managing translations for the Cwtch application. 

1. Sign up for a Lokalise account
2. Email [team@cwtch.im](mailto:team@cwtch.im) with the language you are interested in translating and an email we can use to invite you to our Lokalise team.

### Directly via Git

For new translations, you can make a copy of [https://git.openprivacy.ca/cwtch.im/cwtch-ui/src/branch/trunk/lib/l10n/intl_en.arb](https://git.openprivacy.ca/cwtch.im/cwtch-ui/src/branch/trunk/lib/l10n/intl_en.arb) and begin translating - you can then either [submit pull requests or directly](/docs/contribute/developing#cwtch-pull-request-process) send updates to us (team@cwtch.im) and we will merge them in.

For adding to existing translations you can make pull requests directly on any file in [https://git.openprivacy.ca/cwtch.im/cwtch-ui/src/branch/trunk/lib/l10n/](https://git.openprivacy.ca/cwtch.im/cwtch-ui/src/branch/trunk/lib/l10n/) and we will review and merge them in.
