# Translation
Paperless is available in many different languages. Translation is coordinated at crowdin. If you want to help out by translating paperless into your language, please head over to https://crwd.in/paperless-ngx for details!
Paperless is available in many different languages and coordinated at Crowdin. If you want to help out by translating paperless into your language, please head over to https://crwd.in/paperless-ngx, and thank you! Some notes about translation:
- There are two resources. "src-ui/messages.xlf" is what contains the translation strings for the front end. This is important. "django.po" contains strings for the administration section of paperless, which is nice to have translated.
- Most of the front-end strings are used on buttons, menu items, etc. so ideally the translated string should not be much longer than the English original.
- Translation units may contain placeholders. These usually mean that there's a name of a tag or document or something in the string. You can click on the placeholders to copy them.
- Translation units may contain plural expressions such as `{PLURAL_VAR, plural, =1 {one result} =0 {no results} other {<placeholder> results}}`. Copy these verbatim and translate only the content in the inner `{}` brackets. Example: `{PLURAL_VAR, plural, =1 {Ein Ergebnis} =0 {Keine Ergebnisse} other {<placeholder> Ergebnisse}}`
- Changes to translations in crowdin will get pushed into the repository automatically.
