# Introduction

Localization is the process of converting web and app content from one form (text content) to another (a different language), making applications more accessible to users by addressing language barriers.

There are many localization testing tools available today, but most are expensive, limited to a particular framework or language and/or require learning a new interface. Tolgee is an open source application that can be used to manage the localization process; it is platform-agnostic and can handle screenshots, comment translations, tag keys, and automated screenshots generation for the web.

The localization process takes more time and effort than it would, but using Tolgee can help you streamline the process and perform better localization testing at a lower cost.

# Want to Deep Dive into Tolgee 
Open Source community is growing more diverse and energetic every day. No matter what your interests are or which field you work in—you will be able to find someone who can help you there.

A month-long celebration where participants are prompted to contribute in ways other than writing code during this four-week period. We wanted to provide an avenue for people to connect, compete and collaborate with fellow open source enthusiasts. And on top of that, we’re providing mentors—giving creators a voice while also giving them assistance along the way.

Speaking to us at this event is Jan Cizmar, the founder of Tolgee who’s an experienced full-stack open-source engineer. Join us on the 19th to hear about his journey building Tolgee
