Let’s translate all the packages! We’re proud to announce our new project: Foundry Hub Weblate
We’ve been hard at work preparing our latest tool designed to help the Foundry VTT community, and this time we’re going global! We are proud to present the Foundry Hub Weblate website. A platform dedicated to helping both developers and users localize Foundry VTT modules and systems. Up until now, while some developers have been using their own localization software, most of the existing packages are either not localized or use flat .json files and a good pair of eyes to maintain their translation files. With this initiative, we hope to encourage the community to improve package accessibility for non-English speakers. Some key points: We take care of the technical stuff; adding a new package on the Weblate server is trivial for the developers. No need to know how to use Git or how to create Pull Request for the users who wish to help translate. Just use the website. Thanks to our custom addon, users can add an entire new language to a project without any help from the developer. Weblate even edits the package manifest for them. No risk to the package repository; changes are automatically sent as a Pull Request once every 24 hours. Want some help from an AI? Machine translation suggestions from DeepL are available directly while translating a project. If you are a bilingual player wondering how you can contribute to the community or a developer wishing to empower Foundry VTT players from all over the world, check the Foundry Hub Weblate! As for every other project we maintain (this website, foundry.wiki, Weblate), server costs are covered by donations. If you like what we do, please consider donating to help us keep the lights on. F.A.Q. What is Weblate? Weblate is a copylefted libre software web-based continuous localization system, used by over 2500 libre projects and companies in more than 165 countries.It provides a simple, powerful and easy-to-use interface for translating software projects with a focus on community-driven projects.

Website Update – July 2022
Hello everyone, It was long overdue, but I've removed some dead sections from the website, namely the video section and the forum. I'm not crossing the idea of these features forever, but until I find a sustainable solution for them, it's better for the website to remove them. It allows us to focus our efforts on the most active pages (package discovery and blog-like content) while having the time to host some cool community efforts like the League's Package Jam.
Foundry VTT versions name change: Why and what you need to know.
The next version, named "version 9", takes the side of a simplified naming convention and aims to make everyone agree: the community of developers, users, and Foundry Gaming themselves. Let's see what this change means from the users' point of view. We also interviewed Anathema, project coordinator at Foundry Gaming.
Website Update – August 2021
Hello everyone, JDW here to give you some news on the Foundry Hub website. This month have seen several layout updates, and we added four new pages. So let's dive in right away!
New Video category – Youtube Creators join Foundry Hub
Foundry Hub has been working on improving the website and today we introduce a new category: YouTube videos! This new feature has two objectives: - To allow you to discover new Youtube channels offering content for Foundry VTT. - To propose a video catalog that allows you to search for a specific topic or explore video content entirely dedicated to FVTT. Obviously, this catalog will fill up with time. It will also enable creators to update some videos that have become obsolete with new software versions.
Welcome to Foundry Hub!
The day has finally arrived! Today marks the launch of Foundry Hub, your site dedicated to the Foundry VTT community.
