Make sure KDE software is usable in your language, join KDE translations!

Translations are a vital part of software. More technical people often overlook it because they understand English well enough to use the software untranslated, but only 15% of the World understands English, so it's clear we need good translations to make our software more useful to the rest of the world.

Translations are a place that [almost] always needs help, so I would encourage you to me (aacid@kde.org) if you are interested in helping.

Sadly, some of our teams are not very active, so you may find yourself alone, it can be a bit daunting at the beginning, but the rest of us in kde-i18n-doc will help you along the way :)

This is a list of teams sorted by how many translation commits have happened in the last year, more commits doesn't mean better, even teams with lots of commits will probably welcome help, maybe it's not in pure translation but instead in reviewing, you can also check statistics at https://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kf5/team/
