Nubarius just sent me the Spanish translation. Good work, thanks a lot!

You're welcome. The translation job was relatively easy, as the text to translate is not too much. As yossarian said, it should take a little more than one hour. It probably took me a bit longer to think about how to translate certain words and phrases than the actual typing.

An important point to be careful about when translating is the encoding. I used Notepad++ on Windows, and I had to manually change the encoding option from "ANSI" to "UTF-8 without BOM" before translating. Otherwise the accented letters would end up in the wrong encoding.

That said, I think it can get difficult to get several dialects of the same language in. For example English, the is currently only one language code and that is "en".

You can add a country code to the end of your language code as shown in How Android Finds the Best-matching Resource. See the platform SDK release notes for a list of officially supported locales (en_US, en_GB, en_CA, en_AU and en_NZ English are supported the 2.x SDK).

It's also worth noting that modified ROMs may decide to implement more locales, so if you write for 2.x and include en_IE and en_ZA, you could have this support without needing Android 3.x. You can call Locale::getAvailableLocales from desktop Java for a list of all currently known possibles (on your system), or even make up new ones from the appropriate ISO standards (though I haven't looked into that).

May I jump in for a second?

Thanks a lot for all your offers to localize Bitcoin Wallet to your countries. It great to see the app discover new people.

@Nubarius: I just included your Spanish translation, many thanks for that! If you'd like a pre-test version mailed to you, can you write me an email to [email protected]?

Cheers,

Andreas

I could do a Swedish translation. I use the app myself, so I know how the app works, and I have been in the Bitcoin community for 9 or so months, so I also know much about how the Bitcoin machinery works.

To further spread the use of bitcoin throughout the world, localisation of existing bitcoin software and solutions is needed.

This is a call for participation to translate the Bitcoin Wallet for Android! (https://market.android.com/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet&hl=en)

So far, this app is available in English, German und Russian and has been downloaded a little more than 3000 times. It offers a direct mobile bitcoin transfer and can and in fact is also used as a POS solution for merchants.

To facilitate the spread of the app and the exchange of Bitcoin on mobile devices, localisation into other languages is needed.

It would be awesome if anyone could help translating the app into one of the following languages:

~~Chinese:~~ Done! Thank you @sharkroman and @最爱你是谁! Now available for download!

Czech
Danish
~~Dutch:~~ Done! Thank you @kwukduck! Now waiting for implementation...
Finnish
~~French:~~ Done! Thank you @Boussac! Now available for download!

I did part of the German translation and it only took a little more than an hour of my time. Cheesy

So you can do this, too! Cheesy

Once you decide to help out, simply follow the instructions on http://code.google.com/p/bitcoin-wallet/wiki/Translating

Any help is appreciated! Together we can do this! Cheesy

EDIT: Once you're done, either upload the translated files and forward me the link or send them directly to [email protected] and I'll forward them for implementation.
