A few months back, Steemit created the Steem bluepaper. This is an excellent marketing document that explains what the Steem blockchain does, and why the Steem blockchain is awesome.
The source code for the bluepaper is located here:
https://github.com/steemit/bluepaper/
I would like to get this document translated to Chinese, so we can better market to Chinese users and investors. Is there anyone in the Chinese community that can do a professional translation of this document?
I would like to have it done within about 5 days. I will pay 200 STEEM for the completed job.
The deliverables will be:
- A fork of the bluepaper GitHub repository with the completed translation.
- A PDF file with the translated version.
Please reach out to me in the comments below or on steemit.chat if you are interested. Please include your background / credentials explaining your experience and qualifications as a translator.
I will only be paying for one translation, from a translator that I choose, so please do not complete the work unless I agree to hire you.
[Edit] I have found a translator that I plan to hire. Thanks everyone for helping to get the word out!
Hi @timcliff I am the witness from the Chinese Community. I think we already have this blue paper translated. Please check here: https://steemit.com/cn/@klausv587/steem-or-simplified-chinese-version-of-steem-bluepaper

Maybe worthwhile translating it into traditional Chinese as well for the Taiwanese/HK and other Chinese communities that use the other writing system?

No problems! If you already have the Simplified Chinese text it is a matter of doing a quick Google Translate and then a little bit of proofreading. I know that the Taiwanese community is quite active in this space as well so it would be good for the information to spread (I can read English just fine so it is not a problem for me). If you need more help let me know :)

I think he's already won.
Very interesting to observe that there needs to be more communication between the west and the east.
My only regret is that I can't read and write Chinese.

@timcliff,
A lot of Sinhala users are in this platform and some of them left! But we can market it via social medias too! Do you need me to write a post via Sinhala language and publish it to Sri Lankans! Yeah I could do that!

@timcliff Thank you very much for your efforts for Chinese users. I believe Steem/Steemit can help Chinese users by changing current registration method.
This summer, I went back to China and found that steemit.com is accessible in China but slow. The big issue for potential Chinese users is that they cannot register.
I tried to help my friends to register Steem in China, but cannot go through. The reason is that Steem registration uses Captcha provided by Google, and Google is blocked by China.
Also, it would be very helpful for Chinese users if STEEM can be traded at the exchanges used by Chinese people. I believe Steem Inc should spend time and money to work with the big Asian exchanges to list STEEM and SBD.

Agree on both. I’ve been talking to Steemit about the captcha issue. They re-opened the GitHub issue and have at least started to take a look at it. We’ll see what happens.

Hi @timcliff early on we participated in a crowdin project organised by @testz on the translation of the Blue paper to Chinese. We have posted progress and links on utopianio:

Thanks! I don't have a need for it right now (currently only focused on Chinese), but I will keep you in mind.
If you are interested in providing translation support for the platform though, I do know that Steemit is also looking for translators. You can find info here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemitblog/multi-language-support-for-steemit-com-is-here

Hehe, man, please don't focus on Danish. We are 5 million people, and most of us understand English just fine, so it would be a waste of time. Your time is better spent otherwise (Like on the Chinese market). Merry Christmas!

@timcliff remember I told you I was preparing a big guide for new visitors, and new members of steemit. I wanted to let you know the first chapter is already here.
By the way, I wanted to let you know that I just finished my 11 posts/chapter guide to help new visitors, new signups, new users to make their way on the platform, and I mentioned you in several posts, including the first one. Here is the post if you have the chance to take a look at it.

I will continue posting the next chapters I have been preparing for several weeks.
Looking forward to your thoughts!

Hiii sir @timcliff, i appreciate the idea you just shared about "steem bluepaper" is an excellent marketing document which explains the function of Steem blockchain. i do believe that you will definitely get success in it. as for as concern the steem it is too much, it is a golden opportunity for chinese translators to promotoe their wallet as well as this project.
unfortunately! i am not from chinese communty thats why i cannot avail this great opportunity.
My best wishes for the success of this project.
