Project Details
A White Paper is an authoritative report or guide that informs readers concisely about a complex issue and presents the issuing body's philosophy on the matter. It is meant to help readers understand an issue, solve a problem, or make a decision. Source
In this translation session I continued with the Steem White Paper. The majority of the strings was already translated, so I started reviewing the strings and correct anything that was/is not sitting well. In this session I started encountering untranslated strings, in addition to correcting the already translated ones. The translation level got to 91%
Contribution Specifications
- Translation Overview
Subject to @ruth-girl's proof-reading, this is the third part of the translation, and it brings the White Paper to around ~72% completion. Since there were already translated & approved strings, the percentage is a very rough estimate.
- Languages
The project was translated from English to Greek. I'm a native Greek and because of my job (programmer) English is a "must learn" language.
- In this session
In this session things got even more interesting. The White Paper goes on to explain how the Steem Blockchain can easily scale with little to no effort and how Steem Power plays a role on how many transactions a user can do before he runs out of bandwidth, and how it is used to create accounts in order to prevent potential abuse. The most interesting part, are some stats drawn from Reddit, and how Reddit could benefit from using a blockchain with the amount of incoming data (= transactions such as upvotes, comments & posts) the site is having.
- Word Count
Using my proprietary method of calculating translated words, I estimate that I have translated an extra of 1350 words, to a total of ~8070 words (8504 words translated as Crowdin states on the report, minus a 5% for untranslated words).
