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%

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).

Thank you for contributing to the Davinci-Utopian translation project @dimitrisp!
This was your 13th contribution to the project and the 7th part for the Steem White Paper.

As I stated in your first post on the White Paper translation:
After completing the Steem Bluepaper, you have moved to the White Paper, a long and difficult text with complex meanings. Your task is a difficult one and requires concentration in order to provide a correct translation that won’t deviate from the original text.
When you started working on the project some strings were already translated but not approved, so you had to go through all the work previous translators had done before you, check it for errors and inaccuracies and fix them.

I do not have any new comments to add, I’d be repeating myself if I said that your work keeps being of high quality and accuracy. You keep choosing to go with contributions that are beyond the 1000-word limit and this is praisable, considering the difficulty of the project. Your language is always correct in terms of grammar, spelling and syntax.
All in all, this translation is as great as the rest before it.

Your presentation post is also correct, follows the guidelines, just a minor note: There was no github link for the White Paper, thus you didn’t use one.
I like that you added a detailed description of what you translated in this part along with your personal comments. It takes this post a step further from a simple proof-of-work contribution.

Thank you for working with us, @dimitrisp! It is a pleasure to have you on board! :)
