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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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…
@ian In the meantime I localised the “Ledger LIve”, so now you have a strong competitor And yes, I woöuld also like to see the ALLEGEDLY open source wallet code.
