Busy new-design & Multilanguage: Call for Translators!

in busy •  7 years ago  (edited)

Few days ago we announced a 'Call for Private Beta testers'.
Many of you have joined the new version. We would like to thank everyone for all the good vibes and fantastic feedbacks we received! This is very constructive and invigorating.

We want to target users in emerging markets. For a very long time since its conception, the internet was dominated by English-speaking users. Today, the situation is radically different. We will see English becoming the language of a web minority, pushed away from its spot by Chinese, Indian, or even Spanish, Afrikaans and Arabic. China+India = more than 1 billion internet users in 2016.

Serving a global audience is part of our growth strategy. It involves translation, localization and internationalization. We are now translating the Busy new version to have a real Multilingual platform.

Starting with English, we currently have 16 languages on Busy interface. Our priority is to target Asia (Chinese, Korean, Indian, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Lao, etc.) but we want Busy to be translated in all languages.

Depending on the language setting of the accessing browser, users will be automatically redirected to the interface translated in their native language. They can also select a specific one in Settings.

Few Steemians helped us by contributing with their native language.

Nice, have you guys also checked phrases here http://translate.esteem.ws maybe some will be similar?! 😉

thanks a lot @fabien and my dear friends @hightouch , @overmybrain it'll be amazing interface for me :D like it ! ND @busy.org !

*PS Please Vote Turkish Lang .

great project busy! Always on when steemit is down!!!

i would love to see romanian translation ready ,my native language

I cross test the new busy.org using top 20 browser and I dont find any issue. Also a cross device, bit slow with mobile phone but still meet the benchmark. Overall no problem

Крутая тема!)

Good job @eastmael

Thanks @deveerei :) the Filipino translation still needs a reviewer.

Anything I can do to help?

Actually there is. If you go to the site, you'll see that Filipino is 0% approved.

So I think basically, each of the translation need to be voted. There are entries there that have multiple translations, the voter will choose which is the better translation to use.

Ohhhh - I thought progress is at 97%.

Actually, I saw it yesterday, there were several items added to the translation list that's why it went down to 97%. But now, all items have been translated and the translations just have to be voted on. :)

I'm voting translation now to help.

Thanks po. very much appreciate it to make the Filipino translation approved.

Walang anuman - it's like community service. :D It's for us Filipinos anyway.

Yes, community or public service. :) Please feel free to add a new translation or entry as you see fit. Always good to have fresh eyes. :)

Sir why you are busy?

is that a rhetorical question @badol1994? he have the right to answer anything since the steemit accept it.

Busy is basically Twitter, but decentralized correct... didn't Julian want something like this?

Busy is another interface to interact with the Steem blockchain.

Hey @fabien, in the portuguese language community here at Steemit we have a brazilian member who works as a professional translator. His name is @manandezo and I believe he can help you translate it into portuguese.

Thank you, that would be great!

Thank you so much for the mention @jsantana. I will try and follow the steps to get into the platform and begin translating into Portuguese (Fortunately, using Edge I could also access busy.org, what I could never do using Chrome).

You could likely offer a greater abundance in the event that you need quality interpretations... 20 is truly low.

thanks

Great job 👍

I enjoyed reading your post. There is a lot of good stuff.

I think eSteem app is also doing translations for many of these languages, wouldn't it be good if you can use their translations. It might save time and money.

This is great! It gives opportunity for people from various countries. Hopefully we see more languages added to the list of translation requirement! @busy.org

No Malayy??

sorry...just saw it after i klik the site..
may i know who translate Malay????

the translation by the translater was very funny..
i cant stop laughing...hahaha

Ho really? Isn't good? The translator for Malay is @incrediblesnow, feel free to improve it!

i didnt say its not good..i just say so funny cause its Malay/Indonesia and English mixed together ..
and i tought its been translated already

Thank you so much of the information here was unknown to me

Great news.

@fabien I've applied for the translation into Slovenian language. Our community here is gathered behind @teamslovenia account.

Welcome :)

Thanks! You are doing a great job making a frontend in a way that it is supposed to be!

Nice article keep it going 👍

@fabien, I have PMd you on Discord.... get back to me if my help would be of any use! :)

This an awesome opportunity to do some good work on here,@fabian i would love to be part of this great movement which is busy.org..patiently expecting your reply authorising me.

@manandezo, uma grande oportunidade para você amigo.

You could probably offer a bigger bounty if you want quality translations... 20 is pretty low.

depending on how many words we talk about.

Right now it's only 60-80 words.
It can be done very quick.

Ahh ok that is fair.

Afrikaans translation completed @fabien . Please get in contact with me

a few hours ago I was talking to a friend of mine that English it's a real problem for us... If we knew the language at a different level, maybe the quality of our posts would increase exponentially...
Lucky us we're not storytellers, we just present our arts the way we can better...
But this is a great initiative, congratulations and good luck!
Thank you!!!:)
Enjoy @nature.art, my kind of art!:)

This is great! I just translated the Norwegian part, so now we just need someone to verify it. There are some sentences that are a bit difficult to translate, so it would be great if we got another person to take a look at my translations.

Dont you need Iranian translator? I can provite that if u ever wanted to add Persian as well.

I enjoyed reading your post. There's a lot of good information

Good job

Nice

Great job bro.i resteem this post.i hope this post will be in hot list.best of luck.

100% upvote for what it is worth, as a thank you for all of your hard work. Busy.org saved me the other week when Steemit.com went down with the DDoS.

The Busy.org design is looking good, and I must say the functionality is maturing. It may even take over as the premier interface to the Steemit blockchain one day.

Again, thank you. =)

Definitely will look into to this to help whenever is possible.

I set up account. I can help with Japanese.

nice bro

@busy please upvote my post @fadlie

really looking forward for this, I CANT WAIT TILL THE 20th!

I can help with #Nepali if you have any option.

Awesome thank you! You can translate Busy for Nepali here: https://crowdin.com/translate/busy/13/en-nenp

Ok I'm In.

Send message to @fabien .

I can work on Tamil language translation. Add "Tamil" in to your Crowdin project.

Great❤

I think we will have a Hungarian version. ;)
