+# Contributing Translations
+
+Thank you for your interest in making the Meshtastic Web Client accessible to a
+global audience! Your translation efforts are greatly appreciated.
+
+## Our Translation Platform: Crowdin
+
+We manage all our translations through a platform called
+[Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/). This allows for a collaborative and streamlined
+translation process. All translation work should be done on our Crowdin project,
+not directly in the code repository via Pull Requests.
+
+### How to Get Started
+
+1. **Create a Crowdin Account:** If you don't already have one, sign up for a
+   free account on Crowdin.
+2. **Join Our Project:** Please ask for a link to our specific Crowdin project
+   on the Meshtastic Discord.
+3. **Request Translator Role:** Once you have an account, join the Meshtastic
+   Discord and notify an admin in the `#web` channel. They will grant you the
+   necessary permissions to start translating.
+4. **Start Translating:** Once you have your role, you can begin translating the
+   source labels into your native language directly on the Crowdin platform.
+
+### Language Activation
+
+A new language will only be added to the web client and appear in the language
+picker once its translation is 100% complete on Crowdin. The repository
+maintainers will handle this process once the milestone is reached.
+
+Thank you for helping us bring Meshtastic to more users around the world!
