Tella is an ecosystem of mobile and desktop apps that help users protect their data, files, and devices by encrypting and camouflaging content on their devices.
It can be used to easily produce high quality documentation that can be used for research and advocacy. For an activist, journalist, human rights defender, or anyone who documents facts, Tella can be used to protect the data from censorship, tampering, interception, and destruction.
The Bachchao Project and Horizontal have come together to host a localization sprint for the Tella app in India on 21st Feb 2026 from 11:00 AM to 5:30 PM. A “localisation sprint” is a focused effort to make an application (like Tella) available to users in their local languages.
We invite volunteers to help us make Tella available in Indian Languages like Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Bengali etc. The sprint will be held virtually and requires a signup. Volunteers are only expected to have an understanding of both English and a regional language and availability to commit one day to work on a laptop virtually as part of an online group work session.
On signup the volunteers will be contacted by the team with details of the sprint.
