Title: About Japanese Translation for BitShares
Post by: gn1 on February 16, 2018, 03:27:05 am

Hi BitShares Community,
I would like to know who to reach out to, to get a Japanese translation added to the BitShares (wallet.bitshares.org) GUI.
If you know the person to speak to, can you kindly let me know?

We are very much interested in translating the GUI to Japanese.

Translations go in here:
https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-ui/tree/staging/app/assets/locales

All you need to do is take the english version, translate the strings into japanese then approach the devs for inclusion

Hi xeroc,
I've completed the Japanese translation.
Which developer should I pass this json file to, and how can I send it to that person? Email?

I made a new issue on Github for you: https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-ui/issues/1186

Reply to the Github issue and attach the JSON file (if you aren't comfortable with using git).

One of the devs can pull it in. Can also attempt to attach here.

Thanks for contributing!  :)

Hi netdragonx,
Thanks for opening a new issue on Github.
I have placed the JSON file there.

Thank you for adding the Japanese translations. I've confirmed that Japanese version is now live.

I have a question.

There are strings that are still in English, so I want to get these translated to Japanese as well, but I've realized that the string itself is not included in the original EN json file.

Just as an example, there is a phrase "Get 80% Cashback on Fees" and "Lifetime Members get 80% cashback on every transaction fee they pay and qualify to earn referral income from users they register with or refer to the network. A Lifetime Membership is just 110.80263 BTS." in the membership stats page as shown below.

(https://genxnotes.com/wp-content/uploads/membership-stats-page.png)

However, the string itself does not exist on the English JSON file, so I am not sure how to translate such phrases.
(I understand that there are variables in these phrases, so I've tried to simply search for the phrase "cashback", but the phrase does not exist on the EN JSON file)
Can you kindly advise on how to translate such phrases?

All the translations are in here:
https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-ui/tree/staging/app/assets/locales
You can either use the full power of github and send pull requests, or send something in as an issue for the developers to integrate it ..
