Cryptocat's website and the Cryptocat app itself are both fully translated into Catalan, and we maintain a very communicative and open relationship with PuntCAT.
The only page I have found in Catalan so far is the homepage, and it is translated 50% by Google and 50% by someone who probably did not even finish high school. I'm happy that the app is translated into Catalan. I hope the translation is better than the one on the website. Just wanted to make sure you know what this domain is actually used for.

I'd gladly accept your help with improving our Catalan translations! :-)

Are you offering to help with more Catalan translations?

#34And why the hell should i use a app that is written by know poeple that prooven they have no clue about crypto? Why shouldn't i use one of the many apps that support OTR?
1. Implements OTR / Isn't a roll your own flawed cryptosystem like telegram?
2. Can be used by non technical users
3. Can be used on linux, osx, windows, ios and android?
4. Does not crash all the time (ios's chatsecure)
5. Is open source?
So far, unable to find it. It's easy to be a critic. Cryptocat and textsecure are the only two contenders, and right now cryptocat is the closest one to meet all of those conditions.

#36Easy to be snarky about this. But I admire their persistence. In the face of the extensive criticism they could have just given up. Instead they have acknowledged making mistakes, didn't give up, learnt from the mistake and changed their subsequent behavior. This is admirable.
Compare them to underground dentists - Bob has no medical training, but has a dremel and practiced on a pig head. He offers to do a filling for his pal. He makes a bit of a botch of it, but he larns from his mistake and carries on. Dentistry is important so it's admirable that Bob ignores the criticism. Bob's first pal is currently fighting off a severe infection, but Bob uses that as a learning experience. Bob will…
My favorite expression when things get heated: "Nobody is going to die."
There are exceptions, of course, but a vast majority of the work we do just doesn't matter in the context of life and nature.

I am glad to see cryptocat being much more careful with their wording.

Bottom line, explaining away problems by saying 'nobody is going to die' is a downright dangerous statement IMO.
