Reposting here from the forums:

Good news: I'm just about to get a Bitcoin-Qt version 0.5 Release Candidate 1 out, with a much-improved GUI.

Bad news: all the translations for the old wxWidgets Bitcoin are obsolete, and the process for making translations is different.

Is anybody willing to write new translations? Here's what you'll need to know:

Three translations already exist: de nl and ru. Translations are stored in ".ts" files in the src/qt/locale folder The 'QT Linguist' tool can be used to create translations ... or maybe an online tool like Transifex could/should be used to crowd-source the work

And is anybody willing to take the job of coordinating translation efforts, figuring out if Transifex is a good tool to use, and writing some documentation to make it easy for people to create and submit new translations?

Hi!

I can translate it to Brazilian Portuguese.

Best, Thiago

Please at least get Coinbaser merged for 0.5. It has had a lot of testing on Eligius for months, a landslide of support for the new JSON-RPC method (as requested), and I have even gone to the effort to document it. As I will no longer be using bitcoind for Eligius soon, I have little incentive to maintain/rebase coinbaser across a 0.6 development period.

FWIW, Gavin's IRC response more or less amounts to being unwilling to merge this even though it was ready, tested, and even fulfilled his original request for community support for the new JSON-RPC call, all long before he announced the feature freeze on 0.5... hopefully it'll get merged to 0.6 git before it needs a rebase. :/

What will you be using instead? Isn't bitcoind a requirement for running a pool?

Writing some custom software designed to more efficiently create work. To clarify, bitcoind will still serve the purpose of peering with external nodes and picking out valid transactions to be accepted into blocks; it just won't be involved in the primary operations of the pool.

Ah, I see. Sounds a bit like the direction Steve is going with poolserverj. So your custom software would handle incrementing the extraNonce, recalculating the merkle tree/root, and so on?

Yes, does that already. Hard part right now is implementing a stateless TCP/IP "stack" so it can ignore DDoS sanely.

I have exported all .ts to transifex.

https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/bitcoin/resource/tx/

I'm now trying to figure out how to use it but it looks like

tx pull && git add src/qt/locale/* && git commit src/qt/locale/ && git push

will be all that's needed to push translation updates from transifex to github.

If you add Norwegian Bokmål, I can do that one. Language code "nb".

I think it's possible to add it yourself. Just click on "add translation"

What do you know, it worked. Finished.

Once again Norway finishes ahead of Sweden. :P

By the way, I had to translate some of the exact same strings 2-3 times. That's something you may want to improve on.

Actually no, the same string may have to be translated in different ways depending on the context they appear in. That sometimes happens for italian, and I'm sure it happens in other cases too. Not sure whether this is the cause for duplicate strings for now, but it might.

Indeed. It could make sense. That's the reason why Qt distinguishes strings based on context as well as content.

But it could also be nonsense. Can you be more specific as to which strings?

Three quick examples of duplicated strings. There are many more. Some of the smaller ones may make sense to have duplicated several times in english as their translated versions may differ in other languages. But with these below I don't see the point.

Twice, with a small difference (<b> vs. none):

WARNING: If you encrypt your wallet and lose your passphrase, you will <b>LOSE ALL OF YOUR BITCOINS</b>! Are you sure you wish to encrypt your wallet?

WARNING: If you encrypt your wallet and lose your passphrase, you will LOSE ALL OF YOUR BITCOINS! Are you sure you wish to encrypt your wallet?

Again twice, with a small difference (%s vs %1):

This transaction is over the size limit. You can still send it for a fee of %1, which goes to the nodes that process your transaction and helps to support the network. Do you want to pay the fee?

This transaction is over the size limit. You can still send it for a fee of %s, which goes to the nodes that process your transaction and helps to support the network. Do you want to pay the fee?

Twice, looks exactly the same:

Generated coins must wait 120 blocks before they can be spent. When you generated this block, it was broadcast to the network to be added to the block chain. If it fails to get into the chain, it will change to "not accepted" and not be spendable. This may occasionally happen if another node generates a block within a few seconds of yours.
