The [Localization Lab](https://www.opentech.fund/labs/localization-lab/) works to make internet freedom tools available in new languages.

To this end, OTF has partnered with SecondMuse and Transifex to create an internet freedom localization hub built on Transifex’s online crowd-sourced translation platform. Volunteers from around the world can contribute translations and ensure that a given tool is available in their native language. This localization hub has dramatically expanded the potential user base of Internet freedom tools.
