Title: Question: Languages for project website internationalization
Post by: BTRIC on October 02, 2017, 05:53:20 PM
Hi All,

I am in the early-to-mid stages of framing together a concept for a bitcoin/blockchain related offering (not really an ICO).

Of course, one of our priorities is to ensure that we reach out to as wide a section of the coin community as possible, while still being kept within a relatively tight initial budget.

I thought I'd reach out to the community and inquire regarding any thoughts as to the top languages to target in making our materials (website, whitepapers, etc.) available to the non-English speaking members.

I did take a look at https://bitnodes.21.co/ (https://bitnodes.21.co/) for the distribution of BTC nodes and here's the top 9 list of countries (removed the N/A):

  • 1. United States
  • 2. Germany
  • 3. France
  • 4. China
  • 5. Netherlands
  • 6. Canada
  • 7. United Kingdom
  • 8. Russian Federation
  • 9. Singapore

We can target the predominant language in these countries.  Does anyone have any other languages to suggest?  Of course, we'd love to be in every language, but we have to make choices to fit within time and budgetary constraints.

Thank you for any feedback you're able to provide.  As our project becomes more solid, we will be seeking translators and others to join our team.

I am quite sure Malaysian and Indonesian versions will bring you more people. There are lots of people following trends. Still, it depends on your project

some asian region is great country, and highest population too, but the problem is low internet connection or high cost for monthly internet cost, so people in asian not running his nodes, usually using electrum or maybe just use coinbase and xapo wallet. i think you must not forget asian is great too.
