But the word we accept "ΔΕΧΟΜΑΣΤΕ" should appear on top and not on the bottom of the logo. Uugh, any way we can keep the text below please and still have it make sense?that would be "bitcoins ΔΕΚΤΑ ΕΔΩ"

Quote from: krondix on February 15, 2016, 10:52:49 amGoogled a bit more, looking at pictures this time.Most of them (95%?) are in the form of "we accept VISA" or "you can pay with VISA". It looks like in some languages "we accept XXX" is heavily preferred to "XXX accepted here". if we start going on top of, and below etc then I have to pay my guy time and money to recreate a bunch of them separately. i'm just tryin to keep these things cheap, save money and at least have them as an option for folks. how about just the word ACCEPTED below? it doesn't have to say HERE i guess.. so if the native speakers would recognize it easier with just the one word, please advise what language and what that word on the bottom should be.. i think that would look nice too.. thanx for all your help with this guys, now you see why i asked. google translate blows chunks.

Quote from: kenCode on February 15, 2016, 01:17:07 pmThanx for your understanding. I know it might not seem perfect, but leaving it under the logo is really the only thing I can do right now. No sense in paying my graphics guys double the price to have to go in and have some on top, some on bottom, etc. I agree. This is definitely not the thing to focus on right now :-)I'm in Serbia right now, will check Serbian translation with locals.

Problem is, we don't say "Bitcoin is accepted here" in Russian. We say "Pay with Bitcoin" or "We accept Bitcoin". It's a bit awkward to hear "Bitcoin accepted" in literal Russian translation. Every Russian speaker will understand it though.Probably, the least awkward choice would be Bitcoin ПРИНИМАЕМ
Quote from: tonyk on February 14, 2016, 03:51:50 pmOK kenCode, you can have your direct translation, BUT as in Russian above, the passive voice "Bitcoin Accepted Here" ( as opposed to the active voice "(We) accept bitcoin", sounds unnatural and will never be used by native speaker.ACCEPTED HERE in Bulgarian ТУК СЕ ПРИЕМАТ ( smarcoins pl.)ТУК СЕ ПРИЕМА (bitcoin s.) I just want the CAPITALIZED 2 words ACCEPTED HERE that a native speaker would use below the word smartcoins in the picture. do not translate the word smartcoins please.

Quote from: kenCode on February 14, 2016, 03:13:12 pmSo, the 2 words only ACCEPTED HERE in ALL CAPS should be changed to..? Thanx in advance @pal @krondixI vote for "МЫ ПРИНИМАЕМ"

Quote from: bitktn on February 14, 2016, 03:01:36 pmJapanese should be (Smartcoin/Bitcoin) "での支払いを受け付けています".It means "We accept payment by Smartcoin/Bitcoin".Actually, it's not unnatural to leave it in English IMO as all "bitcoin accepted here" signs in japan remain in english.(Translating into japanese is also natural ofc) Please only translate the two words.. ACCEPTED HERE thanx in advance

The current german translations says 'WE ACCEPT' but you probably would want to say 'HIER AKZEPTIERT'so either it's WIR AKZEPTIEREN SMARTCOINS (text first) or SMARTCOINS HIER AKZEPTIERT (text last)

Thanx pal, @krondix would you agree? Thanx guys Both options actually sound a bit unnatural. I've done some googling:1. Almost no relevant results for ["принимаем здесь" visa]2. Some relevant results for ["принимаются здесь" visa]3. Tons of relevant results for ["мы принимаем" visa]"Мы принимаем" is literally "we accept".

Slovak is technically correct but unnatural
In Czech "ZDE PŘIJÍMÁME" is correct. Yours translation is Google probably?If you need to review or translate from English to Czech I will do it for you.(for free)
Greek is a bit strange as a language. I think you should leave it in English otherwise it reads funny..If you insist translating it I would say:"ΓΙΝΟΝΤΑΙ ΔΕΚΤΑ" or "ΔΕΚΤΑ ΕΔΩ" @liondani and @chryspano what do you guys think?@fuzzy no need to send me anything. you are already doing to much
Chinese is correct.But “这里接受” and “這裡接受” are better.Chinese, Simplified/Mandarin; zh, zh-CN, cmn-Hans-CN (中文) - 这里接受Chinese, Traditional/Cantonese; zh-TW, cmn-Hant-TW (繁體中文) - 這裡接受
The Smartcoins POS systems will be launched in 44 languages. I also had our graphics guy make up multi-lingual versions of the window decals for the merchants.
