Can the translations on Transifex extend to switching out the press contacts for other people? (I am guessing not).

It would be great if as part of the translation process we could find local language speaking press contacts to replace the current set.

Didn't see this topic until now. If you'll have me, I'd like to be part of the Dutch translation team. In the past I've translated for Litecoin.org; the Nxt wiki and have translated Satoshi's original whitepaper for Bitcoin, as well as Sunny King's Peercoin whitepaper.

If the Bitcoin whitepaper translation is useful, feel free to include it on the wiki.

Thanks for the Whitepaper translation (I wasn't aware of it, bookmarked!). Someone also made a HTML version of the English page which I still have here. Perhaps at some point it would be great to put this on bitcoin.org (althought I'd like to give a chance for translators to catch up with the FAQ first).

I am not sure if I get your idea correctly, but the press page could be made available for other languages as well.

The main challenge was to actually have non-controversial interviewees, which has been difficult for the English page as well. I wasn't sure we could do a good job on this front with other languages.

The FAQ is already translated. Except quotes, translating this page is fairly easy (only a few titles), and custom content (or no content at all) can be displayed for any particular language (e.g. interviewees, press coverage, etc.).

[Mike Hearn]

Yeah, I was figuring we should find people for other languages. Yes it can be difficult ... but one step at a time.

Later on today I might be able to help out with the Norwegian translation.


If it's needed.

Thank you!

I think contributing to something as revolutionary as Cryptocurrency is a important thing to do. Especially the mass popularity it's gaining this year and the coming years.
And I wanna be a part of it all.

LiteCoinGuy, TPN, thanks!

TPN, You've been added to the team, just let me know if you have any questions.

I know this is kind of a old thread but what about Hindi? Dont you think that is a huge market waiting to be tapped?

Sure, actually of all languages I think are a priority, Hindi is probably the one with the lowest level of activity. With what is happening right now in India, having good quality translated content available like the FAQ seems only like a good thing to me. So if anyone can make this happen, your work is certainly welcome as well.

In fact so long as translations' quality is good, I see no downside to adding new languages. Unmaintained languages can be a long-term problem, but it is still possible to serve partially outdated content for a limited period of time. To me that is still better than nothing as most content on bitcoin.org is timeless.

[waldocarter]

glad to see Spanish is complete now, I gave up after translating 25 or so strings.

[Lauda]

What about other languages?

Still very much appreciated, thanks
Yet there is still some work to do before it can be published. Spanish is an important language so it would be nice to have it updated.

What about other languages?

You can see their status here:
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/bitcoinorg/

As you can see, there is a lot of language teams. All of them are progressing at a different speed, and sometime fall in a period of inactivity. Making sure these translation are published is just a matter of spending enough time on them.
