The main resources for localization and other info regarding KDE's localization teams is at the [https://l10n.kde.org/ KDE Localization web site], so check there for more information. This wiki page provides an overview of localization at KDE.

== Internationalization (i18n) vs. Localization (l10n) ==
For information specifically related to translation and translation teams, see the [[Get_Involved/translation]] wiki page.  
 
What is the difference between internationalization and localization?
 
Generally speaking, programmers ''internationalize'' their applications by writing applications so they can be run in any locale. Translation teams ''localize'' the applications by taking the internationalized application and adapting it for a specific locale.

In the table below we provide an overview of localization teams within KDE; see the column "Team (language code)" for team specific links. For additional information about localization in KDE, see the resources at [https://l10n.kde.org/ KDE Localization web site].
What is the difference between internationalization and localization?  
 
If the team of the language you are searching for is not here, please check the KDE Localization web site. If the language is also not there, contact [email protected] to request more information on how to create a new team.
 
The tables are ordered by language code, e.g., ''de'' Deutsch ('German') appears before ''el'' for Ελληνικά ('Greek').
 
=== Web Translation Teams ===
 
These languages are included in the translation list for kde.org.

Konqi across the globe!

The main resources for localization and other info regarding KDE's localization teams is at the KDE Localization website. Please check there for more information.

For information specifically related to translation and translation teams, see the Get_Involved/translation wiki page.

Localization Team Management Tool (LTMT)

During the l10n BoF at Desktop Summit 2011, we realized that we had duplicated services and code doing the some thing (at least this was true for the French and the Italian teams): managing the translation process, mainly file booking.

So, we joined our efforts to have a good working tool to manage the translation process which could extend existing l10n.kde.org website and get the best from existing tools.

Localization Issues

Internationalization (i18n) vs. Localization (l10n)

What is the difference between internationalization and localization?

Generally speaking, programmers internationalize their software by writing applications so they can be run in any locale. Translation teams localize software by taking the internationalized applications and adapting them for a specific locale.

The two terms are not always clearly differentiated.
