Localization is normally carried out by teams of volunteers.

Mozilla Firefox is the most heavily localized cross-platform web browser to date.[1] The first official release in November 2004 was available for 28 different locales including British English/American English, European Spanish/Argentine Spanish and Chinese in Traditional Chinese characters/Simplified Chinese characters. Firefox 4 initially shipped with over 80 locales and introduced 10 new locales, including 6 African languages.[2]
