About

The BYU-Mozilla l10n Workshop has two goals in mind:

  1. Create an opportunity for BYU students with interest in localization and translation to increase their skill sets and gain resume-worthy experience within the industry.
  2. Recruit new, long-term volunteer localizers to Mozilla localization communities to help sustain their efforts make the Web accessible in their language. All languages are welcome!

The Workshop will last all day (10AM - 6PM) with lunch and dinner provided by Mozilla. You're not expected to stay all day to participate, but we hope you will dedicate as much time as possible to joining us for the workshop. Members of the Mozilla l10n communities will be online to provide you with feedback in real-time. All of the rest of your burning questions can be answered below.
