Translation credits

From the very beginning, Moodle was designed to be translated into many languages. Moodle currently exists in over 100 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.

If you need to contact any of the translators, please create an account on AMOS and use private messaging.

(AMOS) means rights on the language portal for language pack maintenance, (CVS) means right on the legacy 1.9 and earlier language packs.
