Hi all,

I posted this question on the forums but got no answers.

I'd like to make some improvements to the Swedish translation of the client. I understand the technical side of making a pull request etc., but will my request be accepted? There aren't many people in the project who can judge if the Swedish translation is good or not, so will it simply be accepted if noone opposes it?

Previous Swedish translations seem to have been commited by codler, is this person "responsible" for the Swedish translation? Related to this, is there anywhere I can see a list of people who have permissions to make a pull?

David

Most developers treat the forums as write-only or just ignore them all together, they are way too full of junk to bother reading.

Translation updates are pretty much just blindly pulled unless someone opposes.

No one is responsible for translations in Bitcoin, though it would be nice to have people agree to keep their translations up-to-date when they submit new ones...

Anyone can make a pull request, people who can push to the bitcoin repo (ie can pull a pull request) are Gavin, tcatm, sipa, jgarzik, and alexwaters.
