[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[elrippo]

I'd add that the bounty stipulates future translations - i dunno, some number of pages and/or amount of time. getmonero.org needs content.

on the other hand, just having a good starting point helps.

Agreed, whe need some kind of contract with a time frame to keep the homepage updated in the specified language.

I think we have some ideas and some funding, but we need a platform for that. I´ll open a new thread if you like. The organisation of this topic has to be moderated by some one who is trusted, and we have to get the devs on board. I am not good at coding, i am not trusted(yet) in this forum, so who volunteers to this important issue

Ideally what we're probably going to need in the future is some kind of dedicated Chinese XMR foundation or community hub that can take care of these things as and when is required - to function self-autonomously or as a satellite of the main XMR foundation.

How do we achieve that? Let's get the main skeleton components translated into Chinese first, and then see if we can't put out feelers for future community leaders who might be willing to get on-board.

I propose to make a bounty for translating getmonero.org into chinese and also make a bounty for forums to announce the translated getmonero.org website.
What do you think about that?
I would start with 100xmr

I will match your 100xmr.

I'll pledge 100XMR too.

I'm pledging 100XMR . That makes 400XMR.

kazuki offered 25XMR too, and I will match that. so we're at 450XMR in total

I'll add 100XMR myself, so we are at 550XMR total? I think Chinese presence in XMR is very valuable, so this should absolutely get done.

Awesome. One of the goals should be to get a stable Chinese language pool operating with decent network connectivity in/out the great firewall of china. Probably best to find some existing reputable Chinese altcoin pool operator to see what they'd need for motivation. It might be as simple as some technical and translation assistance.

These are chinese cryptonote (DNC) pools:

http://66.175.220.129/
http://dnc.geilidao.com/   
http://dncpool.com   
http://dnc.8pool.dtdns.net

We could start here.

Stole this a bit from the DASH thread, but this could be very useful for XMR as well:

https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/dash/

Small bottleneck though, someone has to add all English things first, but after that people can easily translate it into their own language.

I like the idea behind transifex, but it could turn out to be too slow. checking the progress bars for the dash project, there is 65% of chinese done after 1.5month. not sure if there is any estimate on how long the rest including the checking will take. since we're targeting a single market right now, getting a translator directly might be the faster option.

50 more from me for a pool for translations to chinese. Just to get it kickstarted a bit. Once it's more known over there chances are we get some chinese community members to do this voluntarily.

That makes 600.

I concede that it could turn out too slow and I should revise my comment a bit. It was more meant for translating in general. I agree that for the Chinese part it would be better to getting a direct translator.

[BoscoMurray]

On the GetMonero.org website there are quite a few pages under the Knowledge Base tab still needing content. Could these be completed before anyone is recruited to translate? No point paying for translations twice, if you know what I mean.

I'll contribute 25 XMR to this translation fund too. Just PM me when payment is needed.

[whap]

I pledge 50 XMR for the chinese translation as well, would make 675 XMR so far. Is there anybody willing to organize this?

I'm pretty sure they "stole" it from MoneroX first

As soon as someone comes forward willing to translate we can find a trusted escrow and talk with flyffly about how the new language will be integrated in the current website, also it would be good to have simplewallet translated to chinese.

[MoneroMooo]

also it would be good to have simplewallet translated to chinese.

It does not lend itself to translating at the moment, as there is no i18n (ie, gettext or similar) used for all the strings it outputs. So that would need to be changed first, if translating simplewallet is wanted. And it'd probably pull all the rest of the core code which can send error messages as well.

Agreed, basically speaking, we need the whole Monero environement translated into chinese, with Monero core, simplewallet, getmonero.org, and further documentation.

So i think we have two options
1.) Hiring a chinese translator to do that all at the moment speaking and every 3 months what gets added.
2.) Organize a chinese community and hope they are doing this as long as Monero exists.

Both have their downsides, but in my personal limited opinion, number 1 would be feasible and instant.
What do you guys think?

If you want, you can work on it by yourself. Just submit a pull request -> https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site

I had no idea, but I'd be glad to. Thanks
