# Translate text

Students shouldn't have to struggle with learning English at the same time as
they're learning computer science concepts. If you are a native speaker of a
language other than English, we'd appreciate your assistance in reaching the 95%
of the world that doesn't speak English natively.

## Translatewiki

Translations for both Blockly and Blockly Games are handled by Translatewiki.

1.  Sign up to become a translator at
    [translatewiki.net](https://translatewiki.net/).
1.  Do some [test
    translations](https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:TranslationStash) to
    get permission to translate (choose a language in the upper-right).
1.  Briefly read over the [style
    guide](https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Blockly) for Blockly's
    translations.
1.  Go to Blockly's [message group](https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=out-blockly-0-all)
    (choose a language in the upper-right), and start translating!

New translations may take a few months to show up on the live site.

Note that [Klingon](klingon) is not supported by Translatewiki, so that language
needs to be handled separately.
