We are always happy to welcome new localizers to our group. Please have a look at our [[https://support.mozilla.org/kb/locales list of available locales]], to see if we are already covering your language. In case it's not covered we would love to work with you to add it to our pages. If you see a language in the list, you should be able to click its name and see the Locale Leader(s) working on it. You can contact them to learn more about localizing SUMO articles into your language. | We are always happy to welcome new localizers to our group.
