Guys, did I ask you to translate 'bit' and 'coin'?  Smiley

My original question is: How is 'bitcoin' written in different languages? If there is a popular translation already in use, well, then use it but write it in the corresponding alphabets. Thanks for all relevant inputs so far.

It's Bitcoin (mind the B) in german whilst being bitcoin (mind the b) in Frisonian.

Well, although nobody says "Bitmünze" in Germany, it would be the direct translation. But then again, nobody does it because its a proper name and is not translated for that reason (like "McDonalds", "Abraham Lincoln" or "Pizza").

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

Portuguese: Moeda de Bits (A coin made of bits).

The plural is on me.

I call it Bitcoin and so does everyone I know.
I must say it's a funny translation, though. Grin

In Hebrew it is usually simply transliterated as ביטקוין.
There is also a translation of sorts, transliterated as "Matbit", and written מטביט or מטבית.

Nobody translates it, though. I always say "bitcoin", in all languages I can speak/write (which happen to be Portuguese, French, and English).

If you download MultiBit from multibit.org you can see the word 'bitcoin' translated into a couple of dozen languages.
For instance the tooltip on the 'Send' tab is "Send bitcoin to someone".
You can change the language on the 'Preferences' tab.

The target translation languages are at translate.multibit.org.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
I'm trying to compile a list of how is the word 'bitcoin' written in different languages used all over the world, if it differs from 'bitcoin' of course? Your input is highly appreciated.

Most of the time it is Bitcoin. Here's a site that translates Bitcoin into other languages: http://en.translatethings.com/b/i/t/bitcoin.html
