Mozilla's localization (L10n for short) objective is to offer Mozilla applications to as many users as possible in their language. By doing so, we create a world where the open web exists beyond linguistic, cultural, and geographical boundaries. We also pride ourselves on making sure that each user will love their experience with Mozilla products, regardless of language and region. We characterize this user experience as learning about, discovering, installing, using, and continually updating their Mozilla products to their latest released versions.

You can help us fulfill our objective by contributing to Mozilla's L10n effort. Your contributions to our L10n effort make having an open and accesible web possible! Without your help, the web and Mozilla would not be what it is today. With your help, we can open the web to all and protect users all over the world together! Basically what we're saying is this: we need you to make this all possible!

If you have the desire, the passion, and the skills to help out, you're in the right spot! Here you'll learn about all the elements of the Mozilla L10n program and where you can fit within it. Select the bubble that best applies to you to learn more about how you can get involved in the L10n program!
