Localizing Zabbix
Zabbix UI and documentation translations in languages other than English are maintained by the community.
If you want to make Zabbix UI or documentation available in your native language or improve existing translations, join the vibrant community of Zabbix translators.
Your contribution will be appreciated by thousands of users worldwide!
Language teams
In January 2022, we introduced the new translation portal translate.zabbix.com to manage Zabbix translations. You may contribute by translating any of the existing languages, or be the first and set up a new team to localize Zabbix documentation and UI in your language.
Why localize Zabbix?
Zabbix is an open source software, and a lot of our users rely on the documentation to set up monitoring of their infrastructure correctly. Adding a new translation for your native language or improving an existing one helps make Zabbix available to large groups of people who do not speak English well enough.
How to start?
To become a translator, you need to register yourself and receive credentials to access Zabbix translation portal. You will find instructions for registration, translation process, and useful tutorials on the Getting started page.
Translator Community Reward Program
While we are extremely grateful for the effort and collaboration from our Translators, the Community Reward Program will be discontinued on 15 October 2025, and no rewards will be granted after this date. As documentation and translation management keeps evolving, we're seeing an increased use of AI-based translation tools in the submissions. In order to find the most efficient way of providing our users with Zabbix documentation in their language, we've made the decision to further explore the use of these tools in-house. We will update you on any follow-up decisions and make sure that all Translators eligible for rewards on 15/10 receive their packages.
The fast growing Zabbix Translator Community has already reached 500 members. Owing to your contribution, Zabbix is becoming more and more accessible to the users around the globe. In appreciation of our contributors' work, we regularly send rewards to the most active translators. When you translate the content for the Documentation 6.0, Documentation 7.0, Documentation 7.2, or Documentation 7.4 project, you automatically join the Reward Program. The levels are based on the number of strings you have translated for the project. Once you have reached a new level, you will receive the rewards according to the reward scheme:
| Level | Number of strings | Category | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 250 | Junior translator | small souvenir from Zabbix |
| 2nd | 500 | Mid-level translator | branded H2O bottle |
| 3rd | 1000 | Senior translator | Zabbix backpack and the official Zabbix Translator certificate |
| 4th | 2000 | Translation leader | free spot at the online Zabbix Certified Specialist 7.0 training |
Please keep in mind:
- Strings are counted and evaluated each month. Only strings from Documentation 6.0, Documentation 7.0, Documentation 7.2, and Documentation 7.4 projects are included in the total.
- String count is available on the Contributors page for each project (see the ALL STRINGS column, which shows the total number of strings you have translated).
- Contributors to Chinese projects are rewarded according to a separate system.
