description: Help translate Rallly into your language
---
Rallly is made available in different languages by volunteer translators.
Translations can be submitted through [Crowdin](https://crwd.in/rallly).
Submitting translations is super easy and doesn't require any coding skills.
## Sign Up to Crowdin
The first thing you need to do is [create a Crowdin account](https://accounts.crowdin.com/register). Crowdin offers a user-friendly interface to submit translations.
You can then join the project using this link: https://crwd.in/rallly
Once you've joined the project:
1. Pick the language you'd like to translate
2. Select a file (each file contains text for different parts of the site)
3. Start translating!
## Tips for Translators
Here are a few things to keep in mind when translating.
### Punctuation
Pay close attention to how phrases are punctuated.
```
Name:
```
If a sentence ends with a period (.) or a colon (:), you will want to include that in your translation.
```
❌ Nombre
✅ Nombre:
```
### Variables
Variables are placeholders for content which can change. They look like this:
```
Hi {name}, welcome back!
```
`{name}` is a variable which will be replaced with the user's name. Please make sure variables remain unchanged when translating.
```
❌ Salut {nom}, bienvenue!
✅ Salut {name}, bienvenue!
```
### Tags
Tags can be used to create a hyperlink or change the appearance of some text (ex. bold, italics etc…). They look like this:
```
Go to page
```
The tags should remain wrapped around the same content and should not be translated. The contents between the tags should be translated (unless they are a [variable](#variables)).
```
❌ Gehen Sie zur Seite
❌ Gehen Sie zur Seite
❌ Gehen Sie zur page
✅ Gehen Sie zur Seite
```
### Plurals
We use [ICU message format](https://crowdin.com/blog/2022/04/13/icu-guide) to
format our plurals
Plurals are like special rules that help make sure a message is written correctly when you're using different values.
For example, the following message will display **1 option** if count is `1` or **2 options** if count is anything else.
```
{count, plural, one {# option} other {# options}}
```
Note that `#` is a placeholder for the value of `count`.
If your language requires more than one plural form, you can add additional rules.
```
{count, plural, one {# опция} few {# опции} other {# опций}}
```
### Register
For languages that have different registers (informal vs. formal), the general advise is to use an **informal** register. However, there may be exceptions for certain languages so if you are not sure please [reach out](#contact).
## FAQ
You should still join the Crowdin project. When new translations are added
you will be notified to help translate them.
New languages need to be manually added by us. If you'd like us to add your
language please [contact us](#contact).
Translations are manually approved before being released. This can take
anywhere from a few hours to a few days.
