To have a real impact worlwide, our software needs to break the language barriers a **majority of the global population** has.
Localizing our software let us share it with more people, and should eventually lead to better software in itself, even if it needs a bit more work.
The process of making code translatable is called **internationalization (i18n)**. This is what you, as a developer, will do.
The process of translating software to a specific language and context is called **localization (l10n)**. This is what the Community team can help with.
If you have doubts about how to localize your software, please get in touch with emmapeel@torproject.org
