I've updated the assignees and description to reflect that @ripcurlx is now the primary role owner here. @ripcurlx, please report monthly, etc as appropriate, thanks.

Hello,
Just joined Bisq on Transifex. For reference only, I have published technical papers in English, and performed document translations in Spanish and French in the past. Furthermore, I am interested in supporting Bisq's Transifex platform as admin if you'd like.

[ManfredKarrer]

Hi @r4el,
Thanks for reaching out! That would be great if you could help us there! I assume you are already experienced with Transifex. Can you PM me on Slack or the Forum, then I can bring you in contact with the current Admin...

[ripcurlx]

@r4el: Feel free to ping me anytime here or on Slack so we can have a quick call on the requirements for taking over this role. Any help is highly appreciated! 👍

[r4el]

Thanks, Manfred and Christoph. I have signed up on Slack and sent a PM to both to inquire about your availability if you want to have a call.

2018.05 report

I took over this role as I want to streamline the workflow how we get required translations for new features and to initiate a review of a all existing translations. I applied for a free open source license for Transifex and will have a call today with @r4el on the requirements for this role and possible hand it over at the same time.

[ManfredKarrer]

@ripcurlx
Thanks for taking over that role!
We have the free open source license, but somehow Transifex does not show that properly.
Maybe best it to get in touch with Ricardo who did it so far. I sent an email to connect you both.

[ripcurlx]

So far everything seems to be fine with the Transifex open source license. I applied for it within the app settings and nobody complained about it, that we are not fulfilling their requirements.

Yes, even if Ricardo wants to continue being an admin I think it is no problem to have two people involved in localization efforts.

[cbeams]

@ripcurlx, can we get @ManfredKarrer out of the picture completely for this role, even as secondary? Mainly, I mean such that he no longer has keys to Transifex and doesn't have to worry about it anymore. This could be done in conjunction with handing things over to @r4el if that works out, and you could remain as secondary then.

2018.6 report

Besides continuing onboarding of @r4el, who is currently working on a proposal for translators and reviewer metrics, we synced the translation file between the core repository and Transifex to have only on Transifex the truth. Translation files have been updated in the core repository as well for the new release 0.7.1.
We saw nice activity in June in translations and reviews. Unfortunately we can't drill deeper on the details with our open-source license.

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.

• 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: Include penalty for exceeding transfer limits bisq#5965 and Substitute Unconfirmed for Processing BSQ swap bisq#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.
