One user sent funds to one such address + and hence lost money. (see spesmilo/electrum-locale#46) + - We added some automated safeguards to try and prevent this in the future, + including basic regexes and an LLM proofreader. We also made the ongoing + git diffs for updating the frozen translations much smaller to make it + realistic to ~review. (see spesmilo/electrum-locale#47, #49, #51) + - However, the best solution would be per-language human review. + If we had 1-3 proofreaders per language on Crowdin, we could restrict + the set of translated strings that gets included in the binaries to the + "proofreader-approved" strings. We ask interested people to start contributing + and apply to be proofreaders. To get proofreader permissions, send us an email + or come to irc, with your crowdin username and some proof of work (such as + activity on crowdin in our or another project, contributions to open-source, + having an established identity on github/bitcointalk/stackoverflow/..., + having met us in person, etc -- just prove being a human and being well-intentioned). + (see https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-locale/issues/47#issuecomment-3914866337) + # Release 4.7.0 (Jan 22, 2026) * Qt GUI (desktop): - new: "Submarine Payments": support reverse swaps to external address (#10303)
