The Crochet Translation Project is a worldwide initiative.
Volunteers submit translations for crochet terms being used in other languages and I update our charts with the new terms.
So far we have received translations for crochet terms in the following languages:
I accept translations on an ongoing basis so please feel free to complete as many of the terms you may know in another language using this form here: Translation Submission Project
I try to update the translation pages every few months with the new submissions.
If you find an error in any of the translations I’d appreciate if you let me know so I can fix them!
