The Fedora Localization Project

The goal of the Fedora Localization Project (FLP) is to bring everything around Fedora (the Software, Documentation, Websites, and culture) closer to local communities (countries, languages and in general cultural groups). Usually, this involves doing translations via PO files but is certainly not limited to that.

L10N
is an abbreviation of the term "Localization" by means of a so-called numeronym, a way of replacing the middle letters of a word (in case 'ocalizatio') by naming the number of letters between the first and last letter of that word (in case 10): Localization

Language list

Refer to Zanata Language List for an overview of how many languages are available and have substantial translation of our essential software.

Bug Reporting, Testing, and Quality Assurance

Before you file a bug, please read through the list of current and previous bugs for the corresponding software package to determine if your bug has already been filed. If your bug does not exists, enter a bug report using the Bugzilla bug entry page. If your bug exists and has not been fixed, add additional information to the existing bug. If your bug exists and has been fixed, upgrade to the version in the bug report to determine if the bug was properly fixed. If it was not, reopen the bug.

Useful Bugzilla pages:

• Create a new bug report
• List of all open L10n bugs
• All Bugzilla L10n components

Some other interesting Bugzilla queries:

• All open translation bugs (searches for "translation" keyword)
• All font-related bugs (searches for "font" in Summary)
• All i18n bugs (searches for "i18n" keyword)
