We have a [project on translate.wordpress.org](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/woocommerce). You can join the localization team of your language and help by translating WooCommerce. [Find more about using joining a language team and using GlotPress](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/tools/glotpress-translate-wordpress-org/).
If WooCommerce is already 100% translated for your language, join the team anyway! We regularly update our language files and there will definitely be need of your help soon.
### Glossary & Style Guide
Please refer to this page on the [Translator Handbook](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/translating/glossary-style-guide/) for information about the glossary and the style guide.
We maintain the WooCommerce glossary [on this shared Google Sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Pobl2nNWieaSpZND9-Bwa4G8pnMU7QYceKsXuWCwSxQ/edit?usp=sharing). You can use it as a template for creating your own glossary.
Please download the file by going to **File > Download as > Comma-separated values (.csv, current sheet)** and save it on your computer/Mac. Open it with your favourite CSV editor (or re-upload it on your own Google Drive) and edit it.
Make sure to edit the second column’s header by using your own language’s code (eg. for Italian you would use `it`, for Portuguese (Brazil) you would use `pt-BR`).
Write the translated entry in this column and translate the entry description as well.
Don’t change other columns headers and value, but feel free to add new entries.
When your CSV is ready, import it on GlotPress.
_**Warning**: Importing a CSV does not replace existing items, they will be created again. We suggest to import them only when first creating the glossary._
Each translation editor will take care of updating the glossary on GlotPress by editing/adding items when needed.
_**Note**: Only editors can create/import and edit glossaries and glossary items on GlotPress. Anyone can suggest new items to add to the glossary or translate them._
**Style Guides Available**
We don’t have a Style Guide template available, so feel free to create your own. Here are the style guides available at the moment:
* [Italian](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rspopHOiTL-5-PjyG5eJxjkYk6JkzqVbyS24OdA052o/edit?usp=sharing)
If you created a style guide for your language, please let us know so we can add it in the list above. You can also add it by yourself by submitting a PR for this file.
### Translating Video Tutorials
Another valuable way to help is by translating our growing library of WooCommerce video tutorials. Check out the [Translating Our Videos](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/translating-our-videos/) doc and join in!
By translating video tutorials you'll be helping non-English speaking users and people affected by disabilities to get to grips with using WooCommerce for the first time, and to go on and create their businesses and make a living! That's something to be proud of and if you choose to dive into this area, we salute you.
