harm as you can only edit unreviewed strings. A complete history is saved for
every string, making it impossible to destroy previous work. In the beginning,
stay away from the Glossary as this can be edited by new translators but no

5. Choose what you want to translate. Click on "Dashboard" on the top of the
page, and once you are on the "Dashboard", click on "Languages" on the left
side and select your language. You will see a lot of different resources and
their progress. Each resource consists of a number of strings, with a string
being for example a paragraph or headline. Each string has three possible
states: "untranslated", "translated but unreviewed", and "reviewed". Only the
first state "untranslated" is relevant for new volunteers. However, if you find
a "translated but unreviewed" string that contains obvious mistakes, you are
free to correct them. "Reviewed" strings can only be changed or unreviewed by
reviewers. The first resource "bitcoin.org" contains all strings of the main
page. Start here. Everything else that follows starts with "devdocs...",
indicating that these files are part of the developer documentation. It is
recommended that you only try to translate the developer documentation if you
are an experienced Bitcoin user and/or developer with a profound understanding.
