    Rufus is still being localized in multiple languages (to find the ones that are lined up, see the table here), but more volunteers are needed to translate the languages that are still missing.
    Right now I am especially interested in finding translators for Japanese as well as Swedish, so please have a look at the localization Wiki, and if you feel you're up to the challenge, let me know.
    I am also exceedingly interested in finding translators for this webpage, especially for German,Indonesian and Spanish. If you speak one of these languages and would like users of Rufus to see this page localized, please have a look here.

    I will take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the translators who made it possible for Rufus, as well as this webpage, to be translated in various languages. If you find that you can use Rufus in your own language, you should really thank them!
    Usage

    Download the executable and run it – no installation is necessary.
    The executable is digitally signed and the signature should state:
    • "Akeo Consulting" (v1.3.0 or later)
    • "Pete Batard - Open Source Developer" (v1.2.0 or earlier)

    Notes on DOS support:

    If you create a DOS bootable drive and use a non-US keyboard, Rufus will attempt to select a keyboard layout according to the locale of your system. In that case, FreeDOS, which is the default selection, is recommended over MS-DOS, as it supports more keyboard layouts.
    Notes on ISO Support:

    All versions of Rufus since v1.1.0 allow the creation of a bootable USB from an ISO image (.iso).
    Creating an ISO image from a physical disc or from a set of files is very easy to do however, through the use of a CD burning application, such as the freely available CDBurnerXP or ImgBurn.
    Notes on UEFI & GPT support:

    Since version 1.3.2, Rufus support UEFI as well as GPT for installation media, meaning that it will allow you to install Windows 7, Windows 8 or Linux in full EFI mode.
    However, Windows Vista or later is required for full UEFI/GPT support. Because of OS limitations, Windows XP restricts the creation of UEFI bootable drives to MBR mode.
