# Hush Translations

The Hush project welcomes people of all languages to contribute translations, to make Hush accessible to people all around
the world. 

Please join on [Telegram](https://www.hush.is/telegram/) to ask questions about this document or helping.

## Rules

We now have more rules:

 * Translator can be completely anonymous, we don't need your government ID
 * Translators can work on one single wallet or reserve all three wallets (SD,SDL,SDA)
 * Reservations are for two weeks and then that item will go back to the available pool of translations.
 * Translator must be a native speaker (spoken the language since childhood)
 * Translator must be the person who receives the bounty (no middle-people)
 * Translator must create and receive the bounty to a shielded address (zaddr)
 * A "broker" may help find native speakers and work out a fair % of the fee, for the translator to pay them, upon completion. The broker may not take payment.
 
 Additionally, here are some rules about the content of the translations:
 
 * Please submit files in .txt or .xml format, not RTF/PDF/DOCX/etc
 * Submitting a PR to Github `dev` branch is easiest for devs, but uploading to Discord is also fine
 * Please put the 2 or 3 letter language code in the name of the file (like ES for Spanish or ZH for Chinese)

## Background

Learn more about QT Linguist, a GUI program you can use to edit translations files [here](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linguist-ts-file-format.html)

## SilentDragon (SD)

Type: Full Node GUI Wallet

Both SD+SDL use QT5 as a GUI library, and so we use QT Linguist to do translations. To see all the current
translations for SD on Github, look for all the `silentdragon_*.ts` files here:

https://git.hush.is/hush/SilentDragon/src/branch/master/res

These files are XML. For example, the Russian translation file for SD is here:

https://git.hush.is/hush/SilentDragon/src/branch/master/res/silentdragon_ru.ts

There is currently a HUSH bounty to add a new language to SD.

## SilentDragonLite (SDL) 

Type: Lite Node GUI Wallet

All translations are here in the `silentdragonlite_*.ts` file https://git.hush.is/hush/SilentDragonLite/src/branch/master/res

For example, the French SDL translation https://git.hush.is/hush/SilentDragonLite/src/branch/master/res/silentdragonlite_fr.ts

There is currently a HUSH bounty to add a new language to SDL.

## SilentDragonAndroid (SDA)

Type: Android GUI Wallet that connects to SD or SDL

These files are XML. For example, the French translation file for SDA is here:

https://git.hush.is/hush/SilentDragonAndroid/src/branch/master/app/src/main/res/values-fr/strings.xml

There is currently a HUSH bounty to add a new language to SDA.
