Hi, it's my first post here. I want to contribute in translation 1Password to polish (Poland, Europe). I found it is still missing, despite some old, already closed discussions. As 1P enthusiast I'm presenting 1P from time to time to my friends and family members and lack of my native language is sometimes a barrier for the guys. Is it possible to contribute somehow?

    Hi!
    I appreciate all your work for making internet more secure!
    It's a bit sad that has to be limited to handful of languages. Why not bring secure internet to whole world?
    I am using 1password for a while and I'd like my parent to use it too but they don't know english so it's difficult for them.

    I can see how 1password is just not interested in localisation because of revenue, so my questions is how can community bring 1password to be more localised?

    Me and I am sure many other people in the community would be more than happy to help translate 1password to be more accessible not only where the most paying users are but also other countries.

    I am specifically interested in Polish language.

    Is 1Password looking for ways to be more widely used?

    Hello @zkowalsky and @jakubTheThird! 👋

    The team and I appreciate the generous offers to help translate 1Password. We currently use a paid service to help us translate our apps, so we’re not accepting volunteers to help us with translations at this time.

    I can definitely see how more languages, like Polish, would be helpful in bringing 1Password to more people and making it easier to use. While I can't make any promises, I've shared your requests with the team responsible for translating the 1Password app into different languages.

    Thank you for the feedback! 🙂

    well... its a delicate way saying that polish language has no value to 1Password.

    I use your tool since 2008 and I raised this question/suggestions myself for many times before.

    Its not about translating 200-300 sentences in few days, or a cost of 1000$ - its more less a business and sales value - our contry is not on your top 50 - so perhaps better to be honest?

    Thank you for being part of 1Password for such a long time! We appreciate you sticking with us. 💙

    I'm a Polish speaker myself and, although my primary language is English, I'm also hoping to see Polish be added as a supported language. It would also help my family who do use Polish day-to-day.

    its a delicate way saying that polish language has no value to 1Password.

    I wouldn't say that. Feature requests and development/localization work are prioritized for a variety of reasons, including the number of customer requests or the urgency of the request/issue. The team has recently added full support for Dutch across the 1Password apps and extensions and hopefully support for even more languages, including Polish, will be added in the future. We want to bring 1Password to everyone, regardless of what language folks use.
