Internationalization 🌏 - Ghost Changelog

Ghost is used by people all over the world to publish their thoughts, stories and ideas on the internet in a large number of different languages.

Until now, though, any text output by Ghost to generate user interfaces on websites has been limited to English. These include the signup/login portal, search, comments and a few pieces of text in newsletter templates (like the unsubscribe link).

Last year we launched a beta program to ask people to help us translate these areas of Ghost into different languages and, after a huge number of contributions, we're now ready to launch this publicly for 60 different languages!

Starting next week, all public-facing components generated by Ghost will be automatically translated into the language that you have configured in Ghost under Settings → Publication Language.

If you want to turn it on right now, you can do that, too! Just enable the beta flag under Settings → Labs → Portal translation.

Popular languages have been fully translated, but if you spot any English text still showing up on your site — the translations for the language you're using may not yet be complete.

We're still actively looking for people to help translate any missing strings! Here's a guide for how to contribute translations. Read more and get community support on our forum.

Special thanks

Translations in Ghost have been created 100% by the Ghost community. It's the largest piece of work we've ever released that the Ghost core team has not worked on! We owe a huge debt of gratitude to everyone who has graciously spent time helping to submit new translations to make this possible.

There's one person in particular who deserves a special mention: Cathy Sarisky.

Cathy — an independent Ghost developer who helps publishers with web design and development via her agency, Spectral Web Services — has been leading our translation efforts for the past few months. It's entirely thanks to her that this is finally coming out of beta!

Thank you Cathy 🙏

I have made considerable contributions to the Turkish language, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped with translations into other languages.

If language translations are added to the Ghost admin panel, it would be fantastic for everyone to be able to use the entire Ghost system in their own language. If this option is offered in the future, I am sure many will again be willing to assist with translations. My thanks go to the Ghost team and all contributors in advance.

But if you notice any untranslated text on your site, don’t worry some languages are still being updated, and you can help by contributing translations. Special shoutout to Cathy Sarisky for leading the charge and making this all happen.
