Title: Translators Needed for Bitcoin Core
Post by: wtogami on April 24, 2014, 03:46:57 AM
You do not need to be a developer to help in the improvement of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Core 0.9.2 feature freeze is May 13th, 2014.  Now is the time for native non-English speakers to join Transifex to clean up the translations in all languages.  This is important for more than just Bitcoin because Litecoin will use these same translations.

What should volunteer translators do?

Try the nightly builds of Bitcoin Core as it heads toward 0.9.2.  Not recommended for your production wallet.

Join Transifex as a translator and add your account to your language.

Join the Translator mailing list to receive announcements when translations are needed Bitcoin.  You will also receive notifications if other Bitcoin Project things in Transifex need translations (likely bitcoin.org).

Nice call-for-action. 100% done for Portuguese (Brazil) :)

Any info on how the "Reviewed" count works? Most languages still show it as 0.

Reviewers are translators who are promoted to a higher level in a language.  Their role is very important and they must be certain to not be wrong because anything Reviewed cannot be changed by other translators.

Choosing a Reviewer or Maintainer per language isn't easy because a lot of trust is needed.  A bad Reviewer can screw up the process for everyone else.

We are approaching the deadline for Bitcoin Core 0.9.2.  Many languages require translations.  You can help even if you do not speak those languages by bringing attention to this thread of the native language communities.  Can you help?
