En stor del af de frivillige, som kæmper en brav kamp for systemet, er de mange der sørger for, at systemet fåes i et lokalt sprog. Det forgår primært via oversættelse af Gnome (og de andre DE's), som Ubuntu jo benytter.
Der er rigtig mange, der arbejder på oversættelse, og for at optimere den proces og hele oversættelsesområdet generelt, hyres der nu en Translations Coordinator.
