Is my language supported in Mailman?

Mailman now supports a wide range of world languages, and we're always happy to add to the list. Below is information for list #admins and #translators, plus a #table of available languages, and the Mailman Language Champions who are responsible for our translations.

Information for List Administrators

Mailman 2.1 is fully internationalized. This means you can add translations of the Mailman interface, and of all the email and web templates in Mailman, so that your users can interact with your mailing lists in their native language. Internationalization is handled as follows:

Each Mailman installation has a server default language. Mailman currently ships with US English (ASCII) as the server default.

Mailman comes with many supported languages, and if your language is on that list, it will simply work out of the box.

Individual list owners can choose which languages they'd like their mailing list to support, from the suite of site-enabled languages. The list owner can also select the list's default language. Mailing lists can thus be monolingual (with English or any other installed language as the default), or they can be multilingual.

Individual users can choose what their preferred language is, from the set of list-enabled languages. Thus, if a list is multilingual, the user can choose which language they'd prefer to use while interacting with Mailman.

Note

Mailman never actually translates the messages that flow through its mailing lists. It's up to the list members to adhere to their community's language conventions.

Information for Translators

Please read our Internationalization page, which includes our Translation Howto.

The table below simply summarizes the current state of Mailman's language support. You can participate in supporting a particular language, or add the translation for a new language. We welcome your contribution. Please read our Internationalization page for all the details on how you can contribute.

Mailman Language Champions

As this table shows, each supported language has a Champion who coordinates translation updates and submits them to the Mailman project. For all translator questions about Internationalization, please read that page; #admins can read their i18n section (above); both translators and admins can post questions to our mailman-i18n mailing list. Feel free to create links from these languages to a language specific page, if you want to provide some information to non-English speakers.
