Our crowdsourced localization results in more accurate and timely translations, and unlocks access to the internet for users all over the world
Localization Lab believes that language shouldn't be a barrier when it comes to security and access to the Internet. Since 2012, we have helped expand the reach of Internet freedom tools by unlocking access to communities all over the world. A major concern of for the communities supporting Internet freedom has been delays in tool-localization, e.g. making a tool that can be adopted in one country relevant and appropriate for another culture. Localization Lab address these challenges by fostering a community of volunteer translators that work to give their own communities privacy and anti-censorship tools by translating into their own languages. Because Privacy is for everyone.
The Localization Lab has served the needs of over 70+ projects since 2012. (Source) — 2022-06
