Hey!

I am currently exploring how the user experience is like for Blockcerts recipients. I am working with French students and I would like to provide them a French version of both the iOS and android wallets. I am ready to do the translation. I have seen this thread: [Italian version of wallet apps](https://community.blockcerts.org/t/italian-version-of-wallet-apps/1434) but apps don’t appear in Italian on the stores.

I understand you are welcoming open source contributions and I’d like to participate.

- Can I just fork the repos on github, perform the proper translations, and submit a pull request?
- When we agree that the translations are fine, how long does it take for the modifications to be pushed to the Apple app store and Google play store?
- Can we provide a dictionary with French words to generate the seed?

Thank you very much,  
Looking forward to contributing,  
Florent.

The Italian translations are still underway. Android is done but having build/test problems, iOS hasn’t gotten started yet but I believe a community member is looking into it.

1. Yes, you can fork and then PR.
2. Once it’s fully merged into master on both iOS and Android, I would estimate on a few weeks to a month or so. Hopefully sooner but can make no promises.
3. Officially, there are only a few languages with BIP39 support, French and Italian being included. Things would need to be refactored to support other languages and then need to be very thoroughly tested.
