Testing

If you are interested in helping test new features see comparison of stable, prerelease, and nightly builds. Bug reports and testing by the community using the prerelease and nightly builds improve the quality of the next stable release.

Translating

People all over the world use MuseScore thanks to a vibrant community of translators. If you want to help with an existing translation or start a new translation see the instructions below. Please ask your questions on the forums or developers mailing list. It is better to ask lots of questions and share your work at the beginning rather than work all the way through it and find out that changes are needed afterward.

Handbook and website

If you are interested in translating the website or the software manual then introduce yourself on the Translation forum. We will then give you access to edit and create new pages for your language.

Software

The MuseScore community uses a translation server which makes it easy to collaboratively localize MuseScore. If you want to start translating to a language that is not yet listed, leave a request on the Translation forum so the language can be added.
