[quote=“kactech”]Translation Tutorial [SKETCH]

  1. You need to have Java on your computer www.java.com/download/
  2. Open https://github.com/kactech/peercoin-translate[translation administrator fork here], Download zip(right column, bottom), unpack it
  3. Check your native language two letter code here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/javase7locales-334809.html , lets say we want to create Spanish translation - our code is es
  4. Get into peercoin-translate/tools folder and run i18nedit-(version).jar app
  5. Click Projects -> Open Project…, browse peercoin-transale/trans folder, select and open i18nedit.properties file
  6. In freshly opened subwindow go into Project->Project Settings and check if your language code is in Additional locales field , if not - append it after a whitespace and Save
  7. Once again click Project and Select shown locales and select only English and your native language
  8. Now from Property bundles tree select peercoin.net_p and for each Resource place translation into your language (Content field)
  9. Close the application one you’ve done
  10. With system file browser open peercoin-translate/trans folder, search for peercoin.net_p_[LANGUAGE_CODE].properties file(in our case peercoin.net_p_es.properties)
  11. Send this file to translation administrator along with your Peercoin address (Send to lifedies@gmail.com for now)
  12. Administrator will commit your file into github repository with comment that you’ve contributed to this and you’ll receive your bounty

Please correct my English and substitute repository link with administrator’s fork (super3?) - raw post here http://pastebin.com/2vDPjArc

I can transalate the website into spanish and catalan. I’m a pretty busy IT engineer, how much is the bounty?

No point in negotiating unless the owners of the site oblige.

I can translate it into german.

I can do Dutch!

Need to speak / PM Super3 on here as he controls all the main site
If any native speakers want to be admins and help fill out some local sections on this forum then PM me please :slight_smile:
Fuzzybear

I can do French.

Lovely everyone. I am going to contact Super3 now.

I would like to offer .5 PPC to anyone who is able to provide a native translation of the main website, peercoin.net. If you are a member of this community and would like to donate to the individuals who are committing their time to this cause please reply with your PPC pledge. We have received the okay from the website admin that this project can be implemented.

In order to commit to this please follow these simple instructions.

  1. State the language you are intending to translate.
  2. Post the code in which I, and others, can donate a PPC to you.
  3. Translate the website into a .doc file from the top down. The website is simple and should not require much instruction.
  4. Email it to me at lifedies@gmail.com

One simple rule.

  1. If you are going to reply with your language and code you will have 5 days from the day of your commitment to complete the translation. Reason: If other member is willing to commit, we shouldn’t have to wait a month for you to do this.

You will be transferred the PPC upon completion of this, from me. Upon completion, I will edit this post and acknowledge your efforts with your code so other members can send something your way. I have a limit of 12 languages to support as I don’t have a abundant wealth of PPC to spread. I, like you, believe in PPC and want to do anything necessary to support its future.

I am super appreciative of the support for this and think the other members of our community to appreciate your efforts, too.

Thank you!

I can translate Greek if you are interested.

But my question is how do i do the translation? Because i dont know html or whatever is needed…

I can translate it to Chinese. So I will mail to you in 5 days.

BTW, I have added Chinese subtitle for the “Peercoin vs Bitcoin” video, and uploaded here:

Great job. Is there anyway you could do a voice over? I look forward to your email. Thank you for participating.

Maybe we can make it more organized and work with structured files and github?
Here is proposition:

git clone https://github.com/kactech/peercoin-translate cd peercoin-translate java -jar tools/i18nedit-1.2.2.jar
Then Projects->Open Project…->get into trans folder and open i18nedit.properties
Add your language, translate and create pull request :slight_smile:

I think that is what we are going to do. I am going to send the files to super3 who can handle the technical aspects of it. I dont know if most people can do that, maybe I am just waaaay behind.

@LifeDies
Now I see it definitely needs some kind of tutorial because there are few more steps.

Are we absolutely sure that we want to translate the website text as it currently is? That’s a lot of work to do if any changes still need to be made. If it’s good, then let’s do this!

Great work, kactech!

I will try to import my translation to your framework.

@Jimmy Nice to hear that it may be useful, please create appropriate resource names, I’ve put only few for demonstration purposes.
