Works for translators
If you want to contribute as a translator, we have several works for you. If while translating you're not sure about the meaning of a word, look it up in the OpenStack glossary.

Translation of Operation Guide
"OpenStack Operation Guide" for Folsom is finished. Doc team wants to set this book as the first priority for translation. You can go to the translation page "Operation Guide" in Transifex and contribute to the translation.

Follow the document translation guide here: Documentation/Translation

Translation of Dashboard
The web user interface of OpenStack is called OpenStack Dashboard. The translation of dashboard is also hosted by Transifex. You can go to the translation page "OpenStack Dashboard" in Transifex and contribute to the translation.
