<h2>Translations of the term “free software”</h2>

<p>This is a list of recommended unambiguous translations for the term
“free software” (<a
href="/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html">free as in
freedom</a>) into various languages.</p>

<p>We also provide translations of “gratis software” in
a separate column to show how to make the contrast in various
languages.</p>

<p>If you know a correction or addition to the list, please email it to
<a href="mailto:web-translators@gnu.org"><web-translators@gnu.org></a>.
Please stick to ASCII UTF-8 in your message.  For the non-English characters
of the translation, please use the UTF-8 representation, and write
(where needed) the characters using HTML entity syntax (&#xxxx).  Thanks.</p>

<p>The parenthesized phrases in Latin letters after some of the entries
are transliterations (with vowels added where relevant).  Please send
any corrections or additions to those, too.</p>
