Dogfooding: Using GitLab in your own language

Introduction

GitLab is currently available translated into the following languages (a few more will be added soon):

As you can tell, many of the languages are missing a lot of translations. Also, some of the translations may not be accurate and the best way to ensure that our translations are useful and usable in other languages is to dogfood this feature.

"What can I do?"

If you are proficient in a language other than English (native proficiency preferred), please consider these actions:

1. Customize GitLab to select one of the translated languages (User Preferences). Use GitLab in your own language and provide feedback on your experience.
2. Contribute to GitLab translations for that language.
