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.

Current tasks

One major challenge is the migration of our L10N/Translation_Platform

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 exist, 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.
