Found typos or problems with a language pack? Or just want to help?

There are dedicated community members for many translations. They can be found on the Volunteers Portal in the working group Joomla! CMS (Core) Language Team. Do not hesitate to contact someone or help directly on Crowdin to make Joomla available in as many languages as possible.

Installer files

The installer files (Installer\language\en-GB // joomla.ini and langmetadata.xml) are managed in Crowdin. This is required too keep the Core installation process intact. In the Crowdin platform things are locked and automated to keep everything aligned. These two files can't be processed manual, because of the amount of work and risks.
