Project was moved over to Transifex, please see https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/bitcoin-wallet/ to contribute. Please read the FAQ before contributing: https://code.google.com/p/bitcoin-wallet/wiki/Translating Original post: Quote To further spread the use of bitcoin throughout the world, localisation of existing bitcoin software and solutions is needed. This is a call for participation to translate the Bitcoin Wallet for Android! (https://market.android.com/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet&hl=en) So far, this app is available in English, German und Russian and has been downloaded a little more than 3000 times. It offers a direct mobile bitcoin transfer and can and in fact is also used as a POS solution for merchants. To facilitate the spread of the app and the exchange of Bitcoin on mobile devices, localisation into other languages is needed. It would be awesome if anyone could help translating the app into one of the following languages: Czech Danish Finnish Hebrew Hindi Japanese Korean Norwegian Portugese: @Leandro César Taiwanese I did part of the German translation and it only took a little more than an hour of my time. :D So you can do this, too! :D Once you decide to help out, simply follow the instructions on http://code.google.com/p/bitcoin-wallet/wiki/Translating If you have any questions whatsoever, feel free to PM me. I'll get back to you ASAP. Any help is appreciated! Together we can do this! :D EDIT: Once you're done, either upload the translated files and forward me the link or send them directly to yossarian@live.de and I'll forward them for implementation.

Just PM me if you get stuck in the process. :) Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: Nubarius on August 13, 2011, 07:40:46 PM I've started the Spanish translation.

Sweet! I'll add you to the liust. Very much appreciated! Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: matsh on August 14, 2011, 12:48:01 AM I could do a Swedish translation. I use the app myself, so I know how the app works, and I have been in the Bitcoin community for 9 or so months, so I also know much about how the Bitcoin machinery works.

@Confucius: Sounds like a fun project! Which dialect would you prefer? Broad Australian, English Australian, Cultivated Australian, Australian Criol or Torres Strait English?

Sweet! I'll add you to the liust. Very much appreciated! Nubarius just sent me the Spanish translation. Good work, thanks a lot! Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: Andreas Schildbach on August 14, 2011, 08:19:17 PM May I jump in for a second?
Thanks a lot for all your offers to localize Bitcoin Wallet to your countries. It great to see the app discover new people. That said, I think it can get difficult to get several dialects of the same language in. For example English, the is currently only one language code and that is "en". @Nubarius: I just included your Spanish translation, many thanks for that! If you'd like a pre-test version mailed to you, can you write me an email to wallet@schildbach.de? Cheers, Andreas Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: bitplane on August 15, 2011, 12:30:52 AM That said, I think it can get difficult to get several dialects of the same language in. For example English, the is currently only one language code and that is "en". You can add a country code to the end of your language code as shown in How Android Finds the Best-matching Resource (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providing-resources.html#BestMatch). See the platform SDK release notes (http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.1.html#locs) for a list of officially supported locales (en_US, en_GB, en_CA, en_AU and en_NZ English are supported the 2.x SDK).It's also worth noting that modified ROMs may decide to implement more locales, so if you write for 2.x and include en_IE and en_ZA, you could have this support without needing Android 3.x. You can call Locale::getAvailableLocales (http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Locale.html#getAvailableLocales%28%29) from desktop Java for a list of all currently known possibles (on your system), or even make up new ones from the appropriate ISO standards (though I haven't looked into that).

Good work, thanks a lot! You're welcome. The translation job was relatively easy, as the text to translate is not too much. As yossarian said, it should take a little more than one hour. It probably took me a bit longer to think about how to translate certain words and phrases than the actual typing. An important point to be careful about when translating is the encoding. I used Notepad++ on Windows, and I had to manually change the encoding option from "ANSI" to "UTF-8 without BOM" before translating. Otherwise the accented letters would end up in the wrong encoding. Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: Andreas Schildbach on August 16, 2011, 08:47:21 PM I'm planning to do a Prodnet release tomorrow. If you'd like your translation to get in, could you mail it to me (wallet@schildbach.de)?
I'd be happy to see French, or Portuguese. Or perhaps Chinese? Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: yossarian on August 16, 2011, 08:53:12 PM I'm planning to do a Prodnet release tomorrow. If you'd like your translation to get in, could you mail it to me (wallet@schildbach.de)? I'd be happy to see French, or Portuguese. Or perhaps Chinese? We've found somebody for each language, they are all working on the translations as of now. Can you wait a couple more days, maybe until Friday? All of the translations should be done by then. Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: Andreas Schildbach on August 17, 2011, 09:41:27 PM I have released a new Prodnet release with your Spanish, Italian and Polish translations. Thanks a lot!
The other translations could follow next week (if they are ready), after the Bitcoin Conference. Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: gressen on August 17, 2011, 10:07:10 PM I have released a new Prodnet release with your Spanish, Italian and Polish translations. Thanks a lot! The other translations could follow next week (if they are ready), after the Bitcoin Conference. Polish translation looks like it has been run through an automated translator. Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: Piper67 on August 18, 2011, 07:34:21 AM I remember reading somewhere that the only ATM in the world in Latin is at the Vatican. Someone should do a Latin translation of the app, just for kicks :)
Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: Boussac on August 18, 2011, 07:41:48 AM I sent my French translation to yossarian yesterday via PM..

Thanks a lot! The other translations could follow next week (if they are ready), after the Bitcoin Conference. Polish translation looks like it has been run through an automated translator. Could you do me the favor of downloading the app and the Polish files (see http://code.google.com/p/bitcoin-wallet/wiki/Translating) and review them? They haven't been done by an automated translator, I know that for sure. :D But a peer review probably won't hurt. :D Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: yossarian on August 18, 2011, 08:09:29 AM I remember reading somewhere that the only ATM in the world in Latin is at the Vatican. Someone should do a Latin translation of the app, just for kicks :) Any language is welcome! So if you wanna do this just for the fun of it: Go ahead! Might even make for some good press. ;) Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: yossarian on August 18, 2011, 08:12:37 AM I sent my French translation to yossarian yesterday via PM.. Thank you very much! We had to slightly correct the French and the Chinese version, so they couldn't make it into yesterday's update. They'll be included in the next update, hopefully together with Portugese and Swedish. Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: Sultan on August 18, 2011, 08:32:11 AM So how does this work? Is the wallet stored online with somebody else or is it stored on the phone?
Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: yossarian on August 20, 2011, 11:01:03 AM Just to give this a little bump: All of the submitted translation have been implemented in the latest version 1.31 We're at 8 languages right now, waiting for Swedish and Portugese to be submitted.
Mistakes happen to the best people, so if you find any errors in the existing localisations, please feel free to report them. :) There's still room for more languages - what happened to Latin and Australian English? ;) Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: kwukduck on August 20, 2011, 12:13:22 PM I'll work on Dutch
Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: yossarian on August 20, 2011, 12:24:47 PM I'll work on Dutch Thanks!

That was the quickest submitted translation ever! :D Very much appreciated! Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: Andreas Schildbach on August 20, 2011, 03:29:13 PM So how does this work? Is the wallet stored online with somebody else or is it stored on the phone? The wallet (your Bitcoins) are stored on your device. Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: Andreas Schildbach on August 20, 2011, 03:36:34 PM This is a list of languages Android Market supports, but are not covered by Bitcoin Wallet yet. I'm afraid there is no Latin (-:
čeština (cs) português (pt) 中文（繁體） (zh-TW) 日本語 (ja) 한국어 (ko) svenska (sv) norsk (no) dansk (da) हिन्दी (hi) עברית (iw) suomi (fi) Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: yossarian on August 30, 2011, 01:49:34 PM I just forwarded the Swedish translation I got yesterday. Thanks a lot!
Any more volunteers? :D Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: yossarian on March 24, 2012, 04:29:01 PM I gotta admit I kind of lost focus on the project but looked at it again today, especially thanks to the article by Jon Matonis: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2012/03/24/bitcoin-doesnt-need-a-dongle/
It was put it up on Transifex, so it's easier than ever to help out: https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/bitcoin-wallet/ Title: Re: Help translating Bitcoin Wallet for Android Post by: finway on March 24, 2012, 05:17:45 PM Finialized Chinese translation.
