The Fedora I18N project works on internationalization (i18n) to support the localization (l10n) of Fedora in many languages.

Translation of Fedora software and documentation are handled by the Fedora L10N project .

The goals of the Project are to:

• Develop, package, and maintain applications like input methods for different languages
• Improve applications and utilities to support and process different languages
• Quality-assure that existing applications meet i18n standards
• Support the infrastructure of the Fedora translation community
