@huey735 The goal here is not mere translation, but complete localization. Let me explain:

Localization is an art, of much more than just translating content, it is the process of completely adapting and optimizing UI/UX for the intended target audience of users. It's usually done by an expert of that locality who knows what users will expect and how they will behave. For example, for users in Japan, of course they will want the Japanese language, but more importantly, I know they will want to trade on the JPY market, and they will want to use a Japan Bank Transfer payment method.

So please understand it is counter-intuitive to the localization process to always show the USD market in screenshots, even to people who are probably not interested in USD. The correct choice for Japan users is to show them screenshots of the JPY market, but since the JPY market is not mature yet, for now I decided to use Japanese screenshots of the app displaying the most liquid fiat market EUR. What screenshots are best to display to a particular locale is a decision that the contributor doing those localizations should make.

This is also why I didn't just blindly take screenshots of each app in each language and throw them on the website in my original PR; this is the job for the individual localization experts because there are many important decisions to make along the way. So to clarify, I'm not offering to take screenshots, I could have done that already - I'm offering to help you take nice screenshots of what exactly you think should be displayed to your users, as in technical support if you need it, since you had commented that the screenshots you had taken were low quality.

So hit me up on slack if you need help taking sexy screenshots :wink:
