Translation Program

The Translation Program was a collaborative effort to translate ethereum.org into different languages, making the website more accessible to billions of non-English speakers around the world.

Program status

The ethereum.org Translation Program is winding down and is no longer onboarding new translators. The Crowdin project is being closed, and we are not accepting new translation submissions through it.

We are deeply grateful to the thousands of community translators who made ethereum.org available in dozens of languages over the years—their work remains live on the site, and their recognition on the acknowledgements and contributors pages stays in place.

If you spot an error in an existing translation, please open an issue on GitHub (opens in a new tab).

About the Translation Program

The Ethereum community aims to be global and inclusive, yet much of its content only caters to English speakers, leaving out the world's 6 billion non-English speakers. For ethereum.org to act as the portal into Ethereum for the worldwide community, we believe providing non-English speakers with Ethereum content in their native languages is essential.

The ethereum.org Translation Program aimed to make Ethereum accessible to everyone by translating ethereum.org and other Ethereum content into as many languages as possible.

Starting your own translation program

Making educational content available to everyone remains a priority for ethereum.org, and we want to help other Ethereum projects organize, manage, and improve their own translation efforts.

For this reason, we have created a Translation Program playbook that contains some tips and best practices we have picked up in the process of translating ethereum.org.

Want to collaborate further or use some of our translation resources? Have any feedback on the playbook? We would love to hear from you at translations@ethereum.org (opens email client).
