Hi guys,
Those of you who speak American would bitch about the way that I spelled "Localisation" because you guys in America prefer your "z"s. But over here we speak the Queen's English.
So if you'll forgive me, I'd like to introduce the topic of Localisation.
I think that the most important thing, is currency-localisation. People need to understand the value of their digital currency. And that needs to be represented in integers, not in incomprehensible fractions, Tell me that the steak cost $10US, and that makes sense to me, but not that it costs 0.0001537 Bitcoins or whatever.... That doesn't make sense to anybody. We need to be able to represent digital currency in a way that OTHER people can understand.
They'll base the value of digital currency, for now, on their local currency.
In South Africa, we have 13 Official languages. Whatever interface is provided to the public (be it a Web page or a Smartphone App) will need to support at least 4 of those. Plus the Queen's English
Dash is ahead of the competitors. I see Localisation as one of the next steps...
