Translation credits
Thanks to all translation contributors
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.
Contacting a language pack maintainer
If you'd like to contact a language pack maintainer, please create an account on the Moodle languages portal then click on their name in the list below and send them a message.
Alternatively, many language pack maintainers are active in the forums on moodle.org. A translators icon (a book) under a user's name in forum posts identifies them as a member of the translators group, for example Translators in Using Moodle.
