There's lots of translation work to do for the OpenStreetMap project, both by translating the map data itself by giving names to objects on the map in multiple languages and by translating programs related to OpenStreetMap. E.g. the OpenStreetMap website and various editors.

Contributions are invited from anyone who is able to provide full or partial translations. Sometimes development of internationalization support will be needed first.

This page is for listing the various places where translation efforts are being coordinated.

Contents

OpenStreetMap map data

Any object in the OpenStreetMap map data that has a name should be given a name=* tag. But translators can also add additional name tags for other languages, see the name=* tag localization guide.

Unfortunately there are currently no friendly editors for OpenStreetMap data dedicated to just presenting a translation interface and nothing else. But users can use existing editors in the meantime.

To translate e.g. the names of all world capitals one could get all the objects tagged with place=city and capital=yes from the XAPI. Open that data in JOSM and start translating & uploading objects. See this blog post for details and this node for Vienna as an example of a translated node in the database.

OpenStreetMap website interface

The OpenStreetMap website at http://openstreetmap.org can now be translated using translatewiki.net. Go to Website Internationalization#How to translate to find out how this is done.

Wiki Translation

Since the wiki holds a lot of important help content and documentation, we'd like to make at least some of this available in other languages. Translation is taking place on a somewhat ad-hoc basis, and you are encouraged to join in, but we also need to try and get more organised about this. Let's set up more details on the Wiki Translation page

Potlatch interface

Like the website Potlatch has been migrated to translatewiki.net.

JOSM interface

See JOSM translations on launchpad.net. More translation work is ongoing.
