International Sub-Topics

Hi dear Blynkers,

New Year, new good stuff.

We are getting a lot of requests from international community of makers and engineers to translate Blynk to different languages. English of course is widely used, but not everyone knows it. The first thing we decided to help with is a peer to peer communication on this forum.

We are inviting members of this forum to help those, who don’t speak English. We would need moderators, who are familiar with Blynk Platform and freely speak English + another language.

For now, the sections we will add are:

  • UA - Ukrainian - Blynk team will be covering this one
  • RU - Russian - Blynk team will be covering this one
  • VN - Vietnamese @noi - this guy was making Blynk popular in Vietnam and will help here.
  • SP - Spanish. We need a Spanish speaking Blynker
  • CN - Chinese

If you are willing to participate - let us know by posting here or DM me.

Thanks! :pray:

Dear Sirs,
I have rather limited “free” time this period but I am very willingful to offer my help in the Greek language, because I like Blynk way too much!!!

If you need this help, then please tell me what I have to do?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Mike Kranidis

i can help with hungarian and romanian language topics on the forum - in the measure as my free time allows.

i know that very few people use those languages, but this is what i’ve got! :slight_smile:

also, if you plan to translate the app to those languages, i can help with that too (maybe not for free, it depends of the complexity of the job).

Translating is not very complex. I was done in about an hour with a translation to Dutch :slight_smile:

Yeah, this was just core functions. Making a good help function is definitely different :smiley:

I would be glad to help if you find Balkan Slav group of languages interesting. Beside English, I speak Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian as native, I’m fluent speaker of Macedonian, and I can communicate in Slovenian and Bulgarian as well.

Wow guys,

The response is tremendous. You are so awesome!

Ok. Let’s start with the basics.

1st we need to translate the intro lines and it will be indexed by google in different languages. After that the new topics may appear in search results and users may come (hopefully)

Here is what’s needed at this point:

Language:
EN (use abbreviation)

Category Subtitle:
Questions, help with your Blynk projects, ideas and solutions built with Blynk. Reading any sensor, controlling any hardware.

Topic template:
Before creating new topic

  1. Search forum for similar topics
  2. Check http://docs.blynk.cc and http://help.blynk.cc/ ( we will add links to localized docs later)
  3. Add details :
    • Hardware model + communication type. For example: Arduino UNO with Ethernet Shield
    • Smartphone OS (iOS or Android) + version
    • Blynk server or local server
    • Blynk Library version
    • Add your sketch code. :point_up:Code should be formatted as shown below.

void loop()

Simply paste your code between ```
If you don’t format your code, your topic can be deleted by moderators.


Please reply in this topic and I will create language categories one by one and will add the info above.

Thank you guys!

Can’t ask for more, but just in case someone wants to participate, you can translate the documentation and create a pull request. Bit by bit it will be translated.

It’s placed on our github

The best way to structure it would be by adding a folder and copying all the .md files there. For example:

/vn/widgets.md

just bear in mind that there are some mistakes in English version too :see_no_evil:
