OJS Languages

OJS is a multilingual system, allowing journals to publish in a variety of languages. All of the translations listed below have been created by the OJS community and contributed back to the project.

OJS not only allows journals to publish in different languages, but it also provides for multilingual support, making it possible to have a journal published in two or even three languages.

Languages listed on this page fall into the following categories:

Complete, in which case they are either bundled with that particular version of OJS, or are otherwise available for download from this web page.
Needs Updating, but included in the install.
Needs Updating, but not included in the install.

If a language you want to use is listed as Needs Updating, you can find a listing of previous contributors by clicking on the language name. We suggest you contact the contributor to see where they left off, and to consider taking over the translation yourself.

If you don't see the language(s) you are looking for listed here, please consider undertaking the translation yourself. If you are interested in contributing in such a way, contact us and we can give you further information, or otherwise consult our documentation on translating, available on the development wiki.
