Welcome to Pontoon

Pontoon is a translation management system used and developed by the Mozilla localization community. It specializes in open source localization that is driven by the community and uses version-control systems for storing translations.

This is how it works.

Pontoon is a simple and intuitive tool that requires little technical skills to use it. Each language has its own team of localizers. Join one, find a project you'd like to contribute to, and you're ready to start contributing!

  1. Pick your team and project
  2. Submit a suggestion
  3. Have it approved by a trusted localizer
  4. Show it to your friends as it lands in product

Things which make it special.

From the ground up, Pontoon has been designed as the tool that brings all your team's localization tasks together in one place. All the functionality and services you need are seamlessly integrated into a single platform.

Machine translation

Mass actions

Localization dashboards

Deadline and priority info

Notifications

Sync with Git and Mercurial

One more thing.

One of the coolest features of Pontoon is localizing web content in-place, on the web page itself. The moment you submit a translation, it replaces the original text in the web page, making you the first proofreader and tester. Talk about context?
