Open edX translations in Transifex

aOpen edX uses Transifex, an open source translation platform, to power the translation of edX software into different languages. All translations are hosted at https://www.transifex.com/open-edx/public/, which provides a web application allowing translators to write, submit, and manage their translations. 

This document provides a few pointers on where to look in Transifex for the completion percentages per language. Note that you will need to first sign up for an account on 
https://www.transifex.com/ and then join the Open edX team.

It is important to understand that for a given language, the completion percentage is combined for both the LMS and CMS (Studio). As translators are instructed to focus first on translating the non-Studio resources, a high percentage most likely indicates that the LMS translation into the language is mainly complete, but Studio is not.
