Translations (for the applications)

Documentation (any language)

All the documentation is made up a team of contributors that spend their time painstakingly keeping content up to date with KiCad’s changes. Additionally contributors also spend time translating the same manuals into other languages.

The website is maintained by another group of maintainers. The main website at kicad.org is separate from the documentation website docs.kicad.org. Please report any issues in the correct location.

Support/Help Requests

Issue trackers are not for general support requests asking how do you use or do something in KiCad.

We ask you instead look at the community forums links for communities that can provide help.
