Since when i started using Sailfish OS, back in the Jolla Phone 1 days, i wanted the system to be more popular, and i thought a crucial thing to be addressed was localization, especially for apps in the ecosystem
so i decided to be a man on a mission, the mission to make Sailfish as italian as possible, and i started translating apps, then 1 app became 2, 2 became 3, 3 became 4 and so on
I’m not a coder myself and i wanted a way to contribute back to the community, so i thought translations were a great way to give something back, and especially, to make the system more usable to people who didn’t know english (or know it poorly)
I can’t say i’m accepting requests but if you have something to propose me you are very welcomed to do so 
As of now these are (roughly) the apps i translated, in alphabetical order

Any suggestion for next one?
Let me thank @frankps which gave me the inspiration to start this post, localization is very important and it’s thanks to people like him if we can all enjoy using the system we love
I would also say, help us helping you, if you are not a coder but know the language and have some free time, whatever language you speak, join on board and translate, you will help even more people enjoy Sailfish OS
Un grazie anche a quelli che hanno tradotto le applicazioni in italiano prima che potessi metterci mano io, consentendomi così di fare altro
Ciao
