BlockPay enables any merchant to accept one or more digital currencies at zero cost.
BlockPay is in 44 languages and has already been reviewed by actual humans, but we have since added features to BlockPay that have not yet had any human spelling, grammar checking or fixes applied.
This is my 3rd CrowdVoting post, and I have paid out thousands of dollars already, so please help me out with this one too if you can. If you can't, please share this with a friend!
To get paid, just...
- Install BlockPay "S" from:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bitsharesmunich.blockpay - Import or Register an account name on the blockchain
- Set BlockPay to your desired language (in "Settings" screen). If translation errors are found in the app (such as "Pay with", "Amount due", "Please pay", "Thank You" or any of the other messages or field labels), or could be worded better (or shorter), please edit the appropriate language file listed here:

I just sent the Pull Request.

I'll do Romanian!
Thank you sextusempiricus, Romanian is all yours :)
https://github.com/kenCode-de/blockpay-languages/tree/master/translations/values-ro
My translation is finished. What is the next step, how should I submit it?
Hi sextusempiricus, thank you for finishing but you are 5 days late (payday was on tuesday) and I do not see your pull request on github. All the money from the post was sent out already (https://steemit.com/@kencode/transfers). How should we proceed so that at least your work is not lost?
Ok, I've never worked on github before now. So, I don't know anything about pull requests. If you can, point me to some instructions that show me how to submit my work.
I'll do Armenian, let me take it!
Thank you ustas, Armenian is all yours :)
https://github.com/kenCode-de/blockpay-languages/tree/master/translations/values-hy

+Pull request
First commit!
Great work pump! See you on PAYDAY!! :)
Thank you pump, Bulgarian is all yours :)
https://github.com/kenCode-de/blockpay-languages/tree/master/translations/values-bg
I'd gladly do Hebrew, but I did not find the file on GitHub. Can you point me to it?
Thank you techslut, Hebrew is all yours :)
https://github.com/kenCode-de/blockpay-languages/tree/master/translations/values-iw
Oh my Goddess the Google Translate! It blinds me!!! :P
Okay, done all except for the instructions on the bottom. Mixing Hebrew with latin script results in an RTL / LTR nightmare. Please send me the message in clear text (even here) so I can translate it without hating GitHub's shitty RTL support? Thanks! At your service!
I'll do Arabic :)
Arabic done :)
My name on steemit is: @yzomri
Great work! Committed on github.
See you on PAYDAY :)
How did you deal with all the RTL / LTR combinations with Arabic? It was hellish with Hebrew...
I usually use Text Editor (like Notepad) for doing RTL languages. It strips out all the formatting so you are just left with raw text. Then, just copy and paste that into your github edits.
Of course, but the issue happens in the app itself, usually. So things can get messed up when you combine LTR and RTL in the same line.
Thank you yzomri, Arabic is all yours :)
https://github.com/kenCode-de/blockpay-languages/tree/master/translations/values-ar
Hi, I can do both Spanish and Portuguese
Thank you animamea, Portuguese is all yours :)
https://github.com/kenCode-de/blockpay-languages/tree/master/translations/values-pt
Spanish was taken already by @wartrapa
Hi @Kencode, a first revision of portuguese translation is done.
Great work animamea!
See you on PAYDAY :)
Ok, i'll check my russian translation :)
Russian, definitely.
https://github.com/kenCode-de/blockpay-languages/tree/master/translations/values-ru
Will you do the Russian translation, or should I give it to @smailer ?
Where I can find an original English?
some little mistakes is present.
I will do it
Ok @ratel, thank you. You get the Russian.
https://github.com/kenCode-de/blockpay-languages/tree/master/translations/values-ru
Sorry @smailer you guys put in your request at the exact same minute so I had to choose one of you, but maybe you could verify ratel's translation work once he is done with it, that would be MUCH appreciated :)
All is fine :) It's just friendly help to your project.
all is ready! Check it!
Great work ratel!
Thank you again and see you on PAYDAY :)
I have done Croatian before, but i see that you have some new strings that need some fixing.
If you want I can do that.
Cheers
Thank you sneki, Croatian is all yours :)
https://github.com/kenCode-de/blockpay-languages/tree/master/translations/values-hr
Fixed and created pull request.
Great work sneki :)
See you on PAYDAY!
Has Romanian been given out yet? Happy to help if needed.
Hi anduweb, yes @sextusempiricus is working on the Romanian translation fixes.
Thank you for your offer though :)
Cool. Missed it :)

Hey thats great I can help you with Hindi , Tamil Telegu , and Bahasa Malay
Thank you dvaryani, Hindi is all yours :)
https://github.com/kenCode-de/blockpay-languages/tree/master/translations/values-hi
If completed successfully, I will reserve Malay for you as well.
Hi kencode, It is great what you guys are doing and I support your efforts to bring crypto to mainstream. I wonder will there be any API where third party application can make use of? For example, thinking of integration of your services so that eSteem mobile app users can also use or pay/withdraw etc...
There will yes, in probably less than 2 months. We are working on a proof of concept right now (to be done by friday of next week) where IPFS is fully integrated and completely decentralizes BlockPay as well so that it is unstoppable. The API will use this new Libs engine for integration with other apps, websites, etc.
Great, thanks for clarifying... so it will allow any mobile app or web app to accept or withdraw crypto to any merchants, right?!
After the new BlockPay Libs engine is done, then we can build the API for people to use on their websites, apps, etc.
I have upvoted and reblogged. Great project.
Podrías traducir el post para la gente que no dominamos el ingles. #spanish
I can do the Hindi.
Thank you mindfreak, right now @dvaryani is doing the Hindi, but maybe you can check his/her work after it is submitted on github? Much appreciated :)
Do you need Russian or Belarus language? :)
a good project
my girlfriend is vietnamese, I'll point this to her.
Please confirm if she will do it or not, thanx rampant :)
Hi, this is Lien. I would love to help with vietnamese. I have my degree at english -vietnamese translation. I'll do it.
Thank you @bachthilien Vietnamese is all yours :)
https://github.com/kenCode-de/blockpay-languages/tree/master/translations/values-vi
Done, let me know what else I can do.
Sounds good, now just please submit your pull request with the work you have done on github. Thanx in advance :)
Too bad that BlockPay is not on iOS. :-) Well, I see that there are people covering Russian translation, so all is well!
Yeah, Apple has not been that friendly towards our crypto apps :(
Just trying to catch up with your work. Do you have a synopsis of what you're doing and how it works?
Thanks for your hard work.
Of course :)
https://steemit.com/@kencode
lol, well, I was looking for a summary, not the whole book.
Anybody have the crib notes?
When you say "what you're doing", I have to ask you to be a bit more specific. Regarding which project? Or, what my goals are? Or, regarding just this translations post?
See, I don't even know how to phrase the question! :o)
I literally just found you, thanks to someone else referencing your work (sorry, can't recall who). I see that you have what appears to be a multifaceted project. It seems like there's a web application, but a mobile app too. So, rather than going back through all your articles, which might be worth it, I was hoping there my be a summary of these projects and how they relate.
Excellent suggestion! I love learning Spanish when I can. I have been off and on with it for the past 10 years. Maybe it's time to polish it, or try a different language. Thanks for posting this!
@kencode Google Play Store and Google Play Servise are not working in China, upload BlockPay and Smartcoins Wallet to Aptoide all the time please!
It sucks that the Chinese government blocks the rest of the world from the Chinese people, they are forced to use alternative app stores and VPN's. I think at some point, the Chinese people will will start using and producing more decentralized apps. Smartcoins Wallet is already on the Aptoide app store, and BlockPay will be available on IPFS in the next week or so.
Great!
But there is no Smartcoins Wallet v1.0.6 in Aptoide, it still v1.0.5.
That's weird. We put Smartcoins Wallet on google play, F-Droid, aptoide, yandex, alternativeto and slideme.
I checked it again, there is no Smartcoins Wallet v1.0.6 on F-Droid, Aptoide, yandex, alternativeto.
http://bitsharesmunich.store.aptoide.com/app/market/de.bitsharesmunich.smartcoinswallet/187/20751431/Smartcoins+Wallet
I couldn't get an apk file of BlockPay“S”, so I have no way to do simplified Chinese translation.
So maybe it's time to second edition ?
