## Become a proofreader

Before requesting Proofreader permissions in CrowdIn, be sure you have a history
of contributing translations to the GitLab project.

1. Contribute translations to GitLab. See instructions for
   [translating GitLab](translation.md).

   Translating GitLab is a community effort that requires team work and
   attention to detail. Proofreaders play an important role helping new
   contributors, and ensuring the consistency and quality of translations.
   Your conduct and contributions as a translator should reflect this before
   requesting to be a proofreader.

1. Request proofreader permissions by opening a merge request to add yourself
   to the list of proofreaders.

   Open the [proofreader.md source file](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/doc/development/i18n/proofreader.md) and click **Edit**.

   Add your language in alphabetical order, and add yourself to the list
   including:
   - name
   - link to your GitLab profile
   - link to your CrowdIn profile

   In the merge request description, include links to any projects you have
   previously translated.

1. Your request to become a proofreader is considered on the merits of
   your previous translations by [GitLab team members](https://about.gitlab.com/company/team/)
   or [Core team members](https://about.gitlab.com/community/core-team/) who are fluent in
   the language or current proofreaders.
   - When a request is made for the first proofreader for a language and there are no [GitLab team members](https://about.gitlab.com/company/team/)
   or [Core team members](https://about.gitlab.com/community/core-team/) who speak the language, we shall request links to previous translation work in other communities or projects.
