Powered by our vibrant volunteer community, Pontoon thrives on their commitments to submit and review translations across all our products.<\/p>\n<p>As part of our ongoing attempts to further recognize the contributions of Pontoon\u2019s volunteers, the localization team has been exploring new ways to celebrate their achievements. We know that the success of localization at Mozilla hinges on the dedication of our community, and it\u2019s important to not only acknowledge this effort but to also create an environment that encourages even greater participation.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we\u2019re excited to introduce achievement badges in Pontoon! Whether you\u2019re new to Pontoon or a seasoned contributor, achievement badges not only recognize your contribution but also encourage participation and promote good habits amongst our community.<\/p>\n<p>With achievement badges, we aim to make contributing to Pontoon more rewarding and fun while reinforcing Mozilla\u2019s mission of building an open and accessible web for everyone, everywhere.<\/p>\n<h2>What are achievement badges?<\/h2>\n<p>Achievement badges are a symbol recognizing your hard work in keeping the internet accessible and open, no matter where users are located.
