# Pontoon — Mozilla's Localization Platform

Pontoon is a translation management system used and developed by the
[Mozilla localization community](https://pontoon.mozilla.org/). It
specializes in open source localization that is driven by the community and
uses version control systems for storing translations.

[📚 **Documentation**](https://pontoon.mozilla.org/docs/dev/)

## Installing Pontoon

If you are looking to host your own instance of Pontoon, follow our
[Deployment Documentation](https://pontoon.mozilla.org/docs/dev/deployment/). It
describes how Mozilla deploys Pontoon — as a Docker image running on Google
Cloud Platform — so you may need to adapt it for your own platform.

If you only want to deploy a **local instance of Pontoon**, for development or
testing for example, see our
[Developer Setup](https://pontoon.mozilla.org/docs/dev/developer-setup/). Please
note that the development setup is **not** suitable for production use.
