Good news: I'm just about to get a Bitcoin-Qt version 0.5 Release Candidate 1 out, with a much-improved GUI. @p{par}

Bad news: all the translations for the old wxWidgets Bitcoin are obsolete, and the process for making translations is different. @p{par}

Is anybody willing to write new translations?  Here's what you'll need to know: @p{par}


@p{(li}Three translations already exist: de nl and ru.@p{li)}

@p{(li}Translations are stored in ".ts" files in the @p{(link}src/qt/locale folder@p{link)}@p{li)}

@p{(li}The '@p{(link}QT Linguist@p{link)}' tool can be used to create translations@p{li)}

@p{(li}... or maybe an online tool like Transifex could/should be used to crowd-source the work@p{li)}
 @p{brk}
And is anybody willing to take the job of coordinating translation efforts, figuring out if Transifex is a good tool to use, and writing some documentation to make it easy for people to create and submit new translations? @p{brk}
