NocoDB supports tool localization & relies on Google translation for first version. We understand, Google translation would not always provide correct transaltion for the context. We accept PR for subsequent corrections from Open source enthusiasts and contributors worldwide. Any such corrections over-ride Google translation & are recorded in Master i18n spreadsheet.
NocoDB supports many foreign languages & we welcome community contributions via an easy to use [google-spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kGp92yLwhs1l7lwwgeor3oN1dFl7JZWuQOa4WSeZ0TE/edit#gid=2076107172).
Your help in fixing i18n goes a long way supporting NocoDB. Please follow below simple procedure to request corrections to existing translation errors.
