CrowdIn

Main page for Roll20's CrowdIn

wiki:CrowdIn is a company Roll20 uses for organizing the internal & crowd-sourced translations of the Platform menus & Character sheets. To gain access to Roll20's translation things, you need a CrowdIn account & requested access from Roll20 to it.

Roll20 usually updates tranlations once a week(Tuesday), taking all the changes suggested through CrowdIn and from GitHub, and combining them into one. Changes submitted through are therefore never updated immediately, but take time until Roll20 have reviewed the changes.

Character Sheet Translation
