## 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 teamwork 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. [GitLab team members](https://about.gitlab.com/company/team/),
   [Core team members](https://about.gitlab.com/community/core-team/),
   or current proofreaders fluent in the language consider your request to become a proofreader
   based on the merits of your previous translations.

   - If you request to become the first proofreader for a language and there are no GitLab or Core
     team members who speak that language, we request links to previous translation work in other
     communities or projects.
