International

Ubuntu can be used by everyone, wherever they live and whatever language they speak. With support for over 100 languages, ranging from Afrikaans to Zulu, and easy access to new translations when they are made, Ubuntu is a truly international operating system. You can even submit your own translations!

As well as translations, Ubuntu also provides a range of character sets and input methods, so that you can use your computer just as well in any language.

  • Translations are contributed by a large number of volunteers from around the world.

  • You can suggest translations yourself, using the online Rosetta service.

  • New language packs can be installed quickly and conveniently, using the Language Support tool.
