Help translate crypto101

You can help translate crypto101 into your own language!

Getting started

Workflow overview

  • when a change is made in the source language, the new text is pushed on transifex, an online collaborative translation tool
  • people can work on updating the translations
  • translations have to be periodically pulled into the repository using the transifex command line utility (you only have to care about this part if you want to build the translated pdf yourself)

Some tip and tricks

  • translate the glossary first
  • register words into the transifex glossary
  • you can use the TAB key to save the current string and go to the next one
  • find some friends to translate the book with!

Can I translate the crypto101 into chinese? And I am usually working on gitbook, is it support the way?

multun commented

Sure! We don't use gitbook, if you're ok with trying transifex, please follow the instructions so I can add you in the translation group.

jackie8tao commented

Thank you, I have created a transifex account, so how would i join the translation group? And my account id is jackie8tao. Would you help me?

multun commented

Sure! You should have received an invite. I also made the group public so anyone can join (I didn't know it could be done).

corewolf1337 commented

Would you add German to the translation list, because when I read it i could translate is also. ?

multun commented

@corewolf1337 done, tell me if you have issues joining

multun commented

@corewolf1337 welcome to the team :)

corewolf1337 commented

@multun thanks, just joined and need verification for it than i can begin :)

corewolf1337 commented

@multun thanks appreciate it :))

fffx commented

@multun I have created a transifex account , but Chinese is not available in the options list?

multun commented

@fffx can you confirm you're good to go? If so, welcome to the team :) I might have missed a step in my instructions, could you describe what part went wrong?

fffx commented

@multun Thanks, I have joined the team now!

multun commented

@jackie8tao just in case you want to give translation a try again, @fffx has started to translate the book to Chinese. I believe teamwork makes this kind of effort much easier, as there's quite a lot of content!

I upgraded both of your accounts to reviewers, so you can comment and approve each other's work.

Thanks for considering translating crypto101 to your language. I really wish I could have read this kind of stuff back when I couldn't read English, and it's nice to see others share the same feeling! Thanks :)

@multun hi, I would like to translate your book into Japanese.

I requested to add "Japanese" to the languages list in the transifex webpage, can you accept it?
(It seems that we need this step first in order to start translating with new language, and after that, I can join your team.)

multun commented

@ihuku sure! I added Japanese to the list. Thanks for your help :)

Hi,
I'd like to translate the book into Polish.
I created account "pawlaczyk" at https://www.transifex.com/ and requested "Polish (Poland) (pl_PL)" language.
Could you accept it?

lvh commented

Dzieki! And done :)

KTZgraph commented

Dziękuję ślicznie! (Thank you very much!)
I sended "join team" request .
Could you accept me as member?

lvh commented

Yep done!

I actually lived in Poland (Krakow) for a bit so by no means a native speaker but I understand a bit, and as you may have noticed the book dedication says "Pomidorkowi" :)

KTZgraph commented

Many thanks, everything works like a charm!

I'm impressed! This dedication gives me a feeling that there must be somewhere Polish native speaker.
That why I started looking for a translation :)

I work in Poznań (not as picturesque as Kraków), but historically connected with breaking Enigma cipher.

Nope，I mean the translation is finished, but we need reviewers. I already added everyone to reviewers, could you check it again
?

@multun
Hi, I'd like to join Korean translation group and i sent a request for it.

BTW it seems there's no comment about Korean translations here, but on Transifex dashboard some(3% maybe) are done already. Is something going on for Korean language?

maherescu commented

@lvh @multun Just send a request to start translating it to Portuguese! I was not able to request pt-BR since it was previously requested but there is no progress documented on the dashboard so I requested pt only ok?

fffx commented

@vae520283995 can't see your request, I don't have the pdf yet, need to pull from transfix and build it, I won't share any PDf, as the current Chinese translation is far away from satisfied.
