🚨 ¡¡SeedSigner EN ESPAÑOL!! 🎉🔥

This is a huge step forward in our efforts to support worldwide bitcoin adoption. And with these code changes in place, we can now quickly add many more languages and plan to do so very soon!


Dev History

  • @kdmukai started this work back in April 2022!
  • @jdlcdl did the thankless, hard work to keep the branch alive over the subsequent two years. Refactored it to the v0.6.0 and v0.7.0 codebase.
  • @kdmukai finished the modernization to the v0.8.0 codebase and completed the remaining missing pieces.

Español Translation Team Volunteers

  • Lead Translator: Ronny Avendaño, The Bitcoin Hardware Store, El Zonte, El Salvador (@tbhs-ronny, 🎉 FIRST PR!)
  • Lead Reviewer / Editor: @MaxApogee (🎉 FIRST PR!)
  • Technical Consultant: Dax Sosa, Mi Primer Bitcoin, San Salvador, El Salvador (@DaxSosa)
  • SeedSigner en Español telegram group provided tons of additional feedback and testing.
  • Earlier translations by: enteropositivo, Cabildo BTC, Bitcoin Hornet, joe mayo, and others.

Translations road map:

  • 🔥 We'll be able to quickly add many more Western languages in follow-up releases! 🔥
  • Right-to-left languages (e.g. Hebrew, Arabic) will take more effort (late 2025?).
  • Asian languages will probably take even more work (~2026?).

How to volunteer to add YOUR language

  • Create an account on transifex.com
  • Go to our project: https://explore.transifex.com/seedsigner/seedsigner/
  • If your language is not yet in the list, request to add it.
    • Note: We're prioritizing new languages over specific dialects. Don't be surprised if we decline -- for now -- requests to add dialects (e.g. "fr-SN").
  • Then request to be added as a translator for your language.
    • Volunteers are needed but too many in one language creates a mess.
  • We will need to identify trusted bitcoin experts in each language to serve as admin-level "Reviewers" in Transifex.
  • Figuring out how we guarantee that our translations are high quality will be an evolving process.

How to enable español

From the Home screen, select Settings -> Language:

Four .img files are included in the release; select the one that is appropriate for your Raspberry Pi hardware:

  • "pi0.img" - For Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 & Raspberry Pi Zero W
  • "pi2.img" - For Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
  • "pi02w.img" - For Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W & Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
  • "pi4.img" - For Raspberry Pi 4 Model B

To update your microSD card:

  • Download the appropriate .img file
  • Verify your download.
  • Flash the image to a MicroSD card (32MB or larger)
    • Must use a disk-authoring tool like Balena Etcher, Raspberry Pi Imager, or "dd".

Bugfixes:

New Enclosures / SeedQR Templates:

CI / Github integrations:

  • Screenshot generator integrated into overall test coverage calculations.
  • Test coverage explicitly reported in its own section.

For developers:

  • run_full_coverage.sh script to calculate current test coverage across the test suite and the screenshot generator, generate interactive html coverage report.
  • Update encode_qr.py - Fixes #582 (testnet compatibility fix): @fedebuyito (#610; 🎉 FIRST PR!)

Documentation:

  • Developer guide for proper coding practices for l10n / multilanguage support.
