Translations
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to
|
|
|
|
|
[Bitcoin Core's Transifex page](https://www.transifex.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/).
|
|
|
|
|
We only accept translation fixes that are submitted through [Bitcoin Core's Transifex page](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/bitcoin/).
|
|
|
|
|
Translations are converted to Litecoin periodically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the
|
|
|
|
|
[translation process](doc/translation_process.md) for details on how this works.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Important**: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next
|
|
|
|
|
pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Translators should also subscribe to the [mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bitcoin-translators).
