Cycle 18 report

German and Chinese desktop projects are being translated, maybe Portugues brazilian as well (I've been contacted for it through Keybase but haven't seen transaltions performed). Estimated bisq-website expenses. Many strings were already translated but got missing and now can be found at suggestions.

Spanish bisq-desktop translation had many strings already translated but changed to add hyperlinks, now are marked with label "hyperlinks".

Budget for Cycle 19

Allocated budget for Cycle 19 is 1806+450 = 2256USD. As most of the expense is for languages with no clear dedicated contributors, this amount won't be totally executed, by far.

Japanese bisq-desktop translation has been completed. @ripcurlx could you integrate this, together with Italian and Czech?

Japanese bisq-desktop translation has been completed. @ripcurlx could you integrate this, together with Italian and Czech?

Sure. To keep track could you please create an issue for it and I'll pick it up from there.

[ripcurlx]

Just checked the code: Japanese is already integrated in the desktop client. I'll add Czech and Italian though.

[ripcurlx]

New languages added already in the release branch at https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/commit/222ee4029817e7848a6aca2ca7a0182cc9903121

[MwithM]

Already translated languages (Spanish, Chinese...) have seen an unexpected grow in strings. Although some are already translated, there's been a rephrase for others and completely new strings. The budget reflected in my last post should be increased. For example, in Spanish, for the work I've done until this moment i would ask 50USD instead of the expected 25.

Cycle 19 report

Lots of thanks for implementing Czech, Italian and Japanese, and thanks again to Czech translator petrgremlica for translating a language out of the core ones. German, Spanish and Chinese have been updated this cycle, together with Japanese which was never completed before.

[MwithM]

Current expenses on Cycle 19

A total of 850USD has been expended on Cycle 19.

Japanese, German, Spanish, Chinese, French desktop translations are up to date. Czech is as well.

Budget for Cycle 20

A total amount of 1290 + 450 = 1740USD is allocated for Cycle 20. This is the max total amount and every task will need to be individually approved.

Cycle 20 report

Unfortunately, no news from french translator @rafael2333 and very little activity for this cycle. I accepted a Polish translator and Czech is being translated on a daily basis, as it should be for core languages.

[stevenkain]

Still no budget for Romanian I see?

Budget for cycle 21

DAO vote failed on cycle 20 and the approved proposals could not receive the corresponding compensation. The amount left to compensate for Cycle 21 was 216 USD.

Budget for Desktop:

Budget for Website:

Total budget for tasks done at Cycle 21 is 1780 USD.

[MwithM]

Cycle 20 report

Desktop: Japanese, Spanish and German have been translated. Chinese might be translated as well.

I called translators to translate before next release so new rules regarding Trade ID as reason of payment could be translated, but I don't think I succeeded.

[MwithM]

Cycle 21 report

644 USD were spent between cycles 20 and 21.

Cycle 22 budget

Desktop

Website

Total allocated for Cycle 22 is 1650USD.

[MwithM]

Cycle 22 report.

New translator Deti_P joined to improve German translations and will not ask compensation for that. Thanks.

Very little activity to report on translations for this cycle. I translated the new Spanish strings for desktop.

[comradekingu]

If you want more and better translations, move away from Transifex. I'll help out if you use Weblate, and I'll throw in a nb_NO translation.

[MwithM]

• Only 39$ were spent at Cycle 22. Available to spend won't go over 6000USD.
• A single one branch from Pt and Pt_br will be continued as a Bisq core language. To me, it was an error to separate this into two different languages when not even wikipedia does it.
• Yodawarrior @paulmercier-bisq started translating to French.

Cycle 23 budget

990USD is the budget for this cycle.

[MwithM]

Yodawarrior (@paulmercier-bisq) has translated all French strings left. Cost is 390USD. @arnaudfr86 will review all French strings for 120USD, I have agreed to a bounty for it after asking to take a look at Yodawarrior's translation.

[MwithM]

Cycle 23 report

As announced previously, I accepted a bounty for reviewing French. This Cycle only French and Spanish had translating activity. Many new users wanted asked permission to translate, but didn't reach out at Keybase and I did set this requirement to accept new translators for core languages.

[MwithM]

452 USD were spent on Cycle 23, mainly for French.

Cycle 24 budget

[MwithM]

Cycle 24 report

Not much activity, AFAIK only Spanish was translated.

[MwithM]

Cycle 25 report

No special activity to report.

[MwithM]

Cycle 26 report

At this cycle, translations have been on hold, I did not even create a budget for it.

[MwithM]

Cycle 27 report

Same as 26, no budget and no translations.

[MwithM]

Cycle 28 report

Nothing to report.

[MwithM]

Cycle 29

Discussion about adding Hindi to Bisq, but has been rejected since we expect that first Bisq users will be fluent in English. Language could be one of the last hurdles for new users. As last cycle, there has been no activity in this cycle.

[MwithM]

Cycle 30

Czech is the only fully translated source.. One translator contacted at transifex for German.

[MwithM]

cycle 31

• Spanish will be fully translated this cycle and I plan to keep up with core translations, updating the budget and finding translators.

[MwithM]

Cycle 32 report

• Budget has will be updated soon, only Spanish has been up to date. There's several strings referring to payment methods that feels like it's not necessary to translate to most (i.e. Indian payment methods to Spanish or French) marked with the tag no_translate.
• While translating, I placed a couple pull requests to improve the original strings: https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5965 and https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5884

[MwithM]

Cycle 33 report

• Italian translation, among most core translations are on hold at least until Bisq2 is ready.
• 210 USD were spent for Spanish translation on Cycle 32.
