    55If Pidgin already has a translation for your language, please contact the designated translator(s) and ask if you can help. It's possible they are looking for someone to take over. You can find their email address in Pidgin's Help-->Translator Information window. Or, for some languages you can try contacting the translator(s) via [https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/pidgin/ Transifex].

    7 If you're unable to contact the designated translator(s) or if Pidgin does not yet have a translation for your language, email the [https://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/translators translators mailing list] and ask if anyone is already working on translating that language.

    1010== When should I submit a translation update? ==

    12 The translations are shipped with each Pidgin release, so there is no great advantage to submitting a translation multiple times during a release cycle.  We announce a string freeze on the [https://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/translators translators mailing list] before each release. This is a promise to you that we will not add any new strings or change any existing ones. During this time you should finish translating any new strings and submit a new translation to us.

    17 The preferred method for submitting updated translations is via [https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/pidgin/ Transifex]. If you're the designated translator for your language then you can request to create a new language team for your language in Transifex (and please also send an email to the [https://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/translators translators mailing list] and let us know!).

    1919If you're opposed to using Transifex there are two other methods you could use to send us translations. These cause slightly more overhead for us, so we try to avoid them.
