Translate the App

Contributing translations to the Meshtastic Apple app helps make the project accessible to a wider audience. The app uses string catalogs in Xcode to manage translations.

How to Contribute

If you would like to update the translations for an existing locale or add a new language, follow these steps:

1. Fork the Meshtastic-Apple repository to your GitHub account.
2. Clone the project and open Meshtastic.xcworkspace in Xcode.
3. Select the Localizable.xcstrings file in the project navigator.
4. Follow the steps for adding or updating translations in Apple’s documentation.
5. Create a pull request on the project with your changes.

Your contribution will be reviewed, and upon approval, your translation will be included in the next release of the Meshtastic Apple app.

Tip — New language? If you are adding a language not yet present in the project, open the Xcode project settings, go to Info → Localizations, and add the new locale before editing Localizable.xcstrings.

Thank you for helping expand the reach of Meshtastic!
