Translation credits

From the very beginning, Moodle was designed to be translated into many languages. Moodle currently exists in over 60 languages and dialects. New translation projects are starting all the time.

On this page, we want to thank everyone who has contributed to Moodle translations. Their work has made the spread of Moodle across the world possible.

If you think someone is missing from this page, please email translation@moodle.org or use the page comments tab.
