💡 Tip: You don’t need to be a developer to contribute. From triaging issues to translating content, there’s something for everyone.

Help make MDN accessible to developers around the world by translating documentation into different languages. Localization ensures that learners and professionals everywhere, regardless of their English proficiency, can access accurate, up-to-date, and easy-to-understand web documentation.

As part of an MDN localization team, you’ll work with other volunteers and contributors who share your language. Each team collaborates to:

• Translate key articles, tutorials, and reference materials.
• Review existing translations for accuracy, clarity, and technical correctness.
• Maintain pages to ensure they stay current with the English originals.
• Coordinate through GitHub and Discord to share progress, resolve questions, and improve translation quality.

You don’t need to be a professional translator — just someone with a good understanding of your language and an interest in helping others learn about web technologies. Every contribution helps make the web more inclusive.
