[OFNT] [AOBT] The Alliance Of Bitcointalk Translators

[Peanutswar]

Dear AOBTers, the 2024 edition of BCA has just been launched.

Therefore, I and icopress are kindly asking all the translators of BCA to update their translations, as this year we have new categories.

[quote="➥ Discuss in [Eng] • [Rom] • [Ger] • [Por] • [Ita] • [Spa] • [Cro] • [Pid] • [Rus] • [Ban] • [Pol] ➥ Last year's [Results] ➥ Quiz 2025 [Live]

So this should be in the attention of the following AOBT users: Gazeta, Chilwell, DS and cygan. I will contact the other translators myself.

Howdy AOBT and GazetaBitcoin. Currently doing the translation will be share to you this week for approval  

Edit: I would like to Announce that I'm done with the translation to our local.

[FIL] [Botohan 2024] Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆

Thank you again GazetaBitcoin!

[Porfirii]

I recommend [overview] Recover Bitcoin from any old storage format by LoyceV, as many people ask about this in beginners and help, and perhaps they should try reading this topic first.

However, I would recommend to try to get more translations for fillippone's topic first... because it's long and having multiple threads to translate can, perhaps, add some pressure on the shoulders of our dear AOBTers, which may feel overwhelmed at the thought that they have to translate that long topic and also another one... What do you guys think?

I proposed that because in previous similar occasions (the "monster" topic being the most memorable) some members preferred to make easier translations in the meantime, while they finished harder ones; and on the other hand, while they are not mandatory, having alternatives can be positive.

And because I already finished it and need more but it has easy solution, I will continue with your topic series

Yay!

Thank you again GazetaBitcoin!

And I thank you for your translation!

and on the other hand, while they are not mandatory, having alternatives can be positive.

Then let's add LV's topic

And because I already finished it and need more but it has easy solution, I will continue with your topic series

Awwww, much appreciated, dear Porf! I will wait your previews

I want to let you know that I have updated it as you said. It even the best approach to this kind of translations

Hey Chilwell, I took a look at your translation... but as far as I see, it doesn't mirror exactly the BCA topic... Can you correct your translation, please...?

[Chilwell]

Thanks for letting me know, i will try to correct that before this week run out.

I don't know if you guys have this moral code "First understand, then translate" but I'm assuming you guys do, because you guys are the Pros. With me, everytime I do a translation I always try to understand the author first, what they were trying to express to the audience and so on. It helped me a lot actually. I'm learning on one side and translating on the other side. And regarding LV's topic, I took a glimpse look, and found there are a lot of technical things (fun stuff actually) that I never knew and unaware of. Normal because I'm not a genius obviously. What I'm trying to say is that whenever we try to translate something, we as a translator first has to realize it's importance and how it works. If we do that, the job becomes a lot of easier and fun.

If a topic isn't within my knowledge realm, I try to learn it first. But if I can't I simply avoid it. Like husna's monster topic. 

Just my 2 sats...

[Porfirii]

Yes DS, understanding what you're translating is a must if you want to communicate effectively the ideas you are translating.

In my case, I have had some problems in the past understanding a few very technical topics which involved coding because my profile is not technical, but I'm happy with the results thanks to patience and interest.

The case of the topic about the strategic reserve, on the contrary, has more to do with my background but I understand that it can be hard for some people, although not impossible. Anyway, if you or other AoBTers feel that this topic is not for you, I agree that it's much better to skip this task instead of translating it without understanding what you're writing.

DrBeer, you made an impressive work to translate this huge topic twice! Wow! As always, big congrats to you!

Russian: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5525639

Side note, you left this Russian translation in the Archival board... Can you move it, please, to Russian local board?\

The Spanish translator and friend Csmiami is not very active lately, but he connected yesterday so chances are that he is aware of this request.

No need to say that I'm willing to create a new thread or reply with the latest changes in the original Spanish thread, but let's see if he reads your message first and can update the original OP, as that would be the best solution by far for this legendary topic about our Community Awards.

He didn't reply to my PM... I think best thing to do is to create another Spanish translation... After all, they won't be duplicate posts, since the new design of current BCA thread is very different from the previous one. As a plus, cygan's new German translation was added already by icopress inside the main BCA thread... Also, dkbit98 made a new Croatian translation to replace the old one of FatFork's, so there would be no issue if you would do another Spanish translation as well.

OK, I'll translate and post the new version of this topic. It's a pity otherwise, because I think that in our local that thread hasn't been updated since 2022. I'll dig a little more into it however, maybe another member created a more recent one that has gone unnoticed by us.

Thanks for appreciating the translations
But the topic is very interesting and very well written, so it should be brought to people in as many languages as possible !
In a bit of a hurry, mistakenly pasted the link from the “draft” in the archive. Fixed the link!

I agree! Although someone said that this is a difficult topic, I think that it is imperative to share that info with as many members as possible, because of the repercussions it can have on the Bitcoin scene. And you even translated it into two languages, which shows that with a little motivation it is a perfectly manageable task, thank you DrBeer.

Please, don't forget to share your translations of this topic also in fillippone's thread. With regard to the Ukrainian and Russian translations, I've already posted them there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230761.msg64966309#msg64966309.

Thanks for letting me know, i will try to correct that before this week run out.

I want to let you know that I have fix it. Thanks

[M47AK16]

Dear friends,

I'm glad to announce that our new member M47AK16 has been added to our Hall of Fame in our OP at last.

Congratulations, our new Indian friend. I hope you'll keep making us feel proud for your incorporation. Keep up the good work

Thankyou so much Porfirii for the update.
I am pretty confident about positive contributions & will continue to do so without hesitation.
My current job consumes most of my time so am rarely active here but will still keep on checking & translating new threads on weekends.

Thankyou everyone for welcoming me over here & giving me the opportunity.

Well, it was from my own point of view. I did understood the topic though. Anyway, I'm sure we have many capable people at AOBT who will finish it in no time. Best of luck everyone.  


Side note to GB

I have been meaning to ask you this for many days. Since when did you mastered yourself in multi language? I noticed you have been posting all around the world in different languages. Planing to steal our jobs as translators?    (being sarcastic)

Regarding BCA 2024, should we translate "Custom title" part also? I noticed some of the AOBTers did that and some didn't. Even I kept it in English the previous year.


Side note to DrBeer

Hats off to you man! Having doing 2 difficult translations in a row shows how amazing you are.

• Everything you wanted to know about Bitcoin Strategic Reserve by fillippone: [PID] [SPA] [UKR] [RUS] [IDN]

I want to translate this topic into Portuguese. I believe they will enjoy reading it.

Thank you r_victory, I think the same

Let's see of Trump finally decides to create it. It's taking a bit of time...


Gazeta, just in case you aren't aware of it, Enkele suggesties als u tabellen en bitcointalk wilt gebruiken (Some suggestions if you want to use tables on Bitcointalk) by bitcoin_mining should not be included or marked as a good translation.

It has been reported and deleted, so I would recommend deleting it also from 1miau's topic.

Thanks for the evaluation, it's very nice to realize the benefit of the work done !
But it's worth noting:
- both languages are my mother tongue, which makes this job easier !
- and the topic really deserves attention and familiarization by many people!

Yes, I am speaking all languages on this Earth! =)))

Regarding BCA 2024, should we translate "Custom title" part also? I noticed some of the AOBTers did that and some didn't. Even I kept it in English the previous year.

All parts of the topic should be translated... From what I saw, there are only 4 translations which do not include the custom titles' translation (but they include the translations of the descriptions of these custom titles), these ones being made by bitbollo, Peanutswar, dkbit98 and you... So, please, translate the custom titles as well... At same time, this is also a small request for Peanutswar. I can not talk about the other two users, since they are not AOBTers, but it would be great if they would translate those custom titles as well.

Oh I did not know... I will let 1miau know as well... Thank you for mentioning this, Porf.

Here is the Indonesia Translation

Thank you for this translation, dansus! I announced fillippone about it.
This is also a small reminder to all AOBTers translating fillippone's threads: please remember to mention your translations inside his topic and also do it using the proper format.


And here is a small recap of remaining available translations, for more visibility

• Some suggestions if you want to use tables on Bitcointalk^{READ BEFORE TRANSLATING!!!} by 1miau: [ROM] [PID] [HIN] [SPA] [GER] [URD] [POL] [FIL]

This topic has 9 translations, therefore only 1 is needed for finishing it. Husna announced the Indonesian translation for it, so this topic will be finished when this translation will be provided by Husna.

• Everything you wanted to know about Bitcoin Strategic Reserve by fillippone: [PID] [SPA] [UKR] [RUS] [IDN]

This topic has 5 translations and two more were announced (one by r_victory and one by myself), therefore only 3 more are needed for finishing it. The available languages are: [TUR] [FRE] [ARA] [FIL] URD] [HIN]. Therefore, this should be in the attention of mindrust / mela65, paid2, Kavelj22, Peanutswar, Adiljutt156 and M47AK16. (I did not mention Bangla, since DS announced that he can not translate the thread. I also did not include German and Polish for this reason.)
