Wallet source code / Translation

Hi, how are you?

I would like to help to translate wallet to my native language - Slovak. It seem I cant find the source code online. Can somebody please help me where to find it or if you have some translation system in place how to use it?

Thanks

I believe the wallet source has not been released yet but it will be very soon.

Me too! I would like to help to translate the Android “Algorand wallet” to my native language - Hungarian.
I sent a notice to https://algorandwallet.com/contact-us, but got no response. Whom should I contact?

Two week has passed. What does “very soon” means in this context?

We have the code in zip files that we can send around to interested parties who are building applications. As far as setting up an open source repo that we monitor and update, we don’t have a time frame for that. Feel free to reach out if you’d like access to the wallet source code.

@ian yes, I would like to access the wallet source code. How can I get it?

Hi, I would like to help

Hi there,

For now, we have all the help we need on translation side of things. We employ the services of a translation company that’s built directly into our dev pipeline and we’ll continue to do so. For anyone on this thread, you can always reach out to us if you have proofreading feedback after seeing the translations for a particular language.

Best,
Ian

Hi, @ian

...feel free to reach out if you’d like access to the wallet source code.
Thank you, that's kind. Where is the wallet source code available?
...we have all the help we need on translation side of things. ...you can always reach out to us if you have proofreading feedback...

In v 4.7.0, “Deutsch”

  • the numbers are not yet formatted according to German rules (decimal point vs comma).
  • in “Einstellungen” (“Setup”), “Währung” list is not translated, it is left in English

In v 4.7.0, all locales

  • “Zambian Kwacha” is listed twice
  • "Estonian Kroon " and “Maltese Lira” is not used any more. These countries use EUR now
  • to list currency abbreviantions would also be useful

There is no Slovak and Hungarian version yet.
According to your project schedule, when will it be available?

Kind regards,
@Maugli

Hi Ian,

thanks for the answer.

I believe that the real users can translate the phrases much better than the professional translation service that translates texts to all languages.

Thus if you reconsider, please let me know at least to check the translation to Slovak or Czech language.

Thank you

Hi, Ian,

I also think that real users can be much-much better than a professional translation service, because they know the context (and the program) much-much better. Of course, this can be compensated with screen photos to some extent.

When will be the Hungarian version done by the professional translation service ready?

Hi, @ian,

The was an update of the official Algorand wallet to 4.8.0

In v 4.8.0, “Deutsch”

  • the numbers are not yet formatted according to German rules (decimal point vs comma).
  • in “Einstellungen” (“Setup”), “Währung” list is not translated, it is left in English

In v 4.8.0, all locales

  • “Zambian Kwacha” is listed twice
  • "Estonian Kroon " and “Maltese Lira” is not used any more. These countries use EUR now

I have a suggestion, to make the letter size on the panels zoomable. I find it that the reward and the asset id is way to small for me to read it.

Please answer my earlier question: when will be a translation ready for the small EU countries like Slovakia or Hungary?

Please answer my earlier question: when will be the Wallet code available as open source?

TY

Hi there,

We currently don’t have a timeframe for you on the translation schedule. We’re currently prioritizing languages based on number of users from particular locations.

And we’re currently working on creating a repo for the wallet code. Hopefully within the month. Thanks.

I think you’re making a big mistake here. For a project that says they value open source as one of their core values, not having your wallet source code available even though you advertise it on your website is a contradiction. Additionally, saying you will provide it in a ZIP file and then when someone asks:

yes, I would like to access the wallet source code. How can I get it?

Responding with:

For now, we have all the help we need on translation side of things.

This indicates that you really aren’t that open to providing the source code. Why not just make the code available now and make the development available on GitHub, GitLab or a public Git repo? Are you concerned about some glaring security issues? Do you not have intentions of working on the code publicly and allowing the community help contribute to the code? Imagine if other major open source projects had the same attitude about how much push back they’d get from tech community.

Hi there, I see you quoted me above on a couple of posts. Perhaps you missed the most recent one which adds more context:

We certainly aren’t against open sourcing. I’m not sure how I may have indicated that, but that’s a false assumption.

Thanks for your feedback,
Ian

I see you quoted me above on a couple of posts

Just one so far. I’m not saying you’re against open sourcing, I’m saying why not do it now though… why the delay? It really isn’t promoting open source spirit to delay open sourcing something, nor does it provide a strong sense of security and trust.

Yup makes sense. As with anything, we need to prioritize what our small team is able to work on. We had to deprioritize setting up smooth open source repos/process in favor of handling the many feature requests that are users have been so excited/adamant about.

Believe me, we’re just as interested in getting our code public as you are. Thanks for the feedback.

Creating repo for wallet source takes few minutes… And you most probably already use the git for repo, so it should be just the switch from non public to public…

However I am keen in seeing the source code within the month of your message, so you still have few days…

If you would put it online faster, I am still keen to make the slovak translation for it…
