Alby Go currently being available only in English creates a significant barrier for adoption in Spanish-speaking regions, especially in Latin America, where Bitcoin usage is growing rapidly.
Providing a full Spanish translation of the interface would greatly improve accessibility for new users who are not comfortable using apps in English. This is particularly important for onboarding non-technical users and communities that are just beginning their journey with Bitcoin.
Use case:
We are building a circular Bitcoin economy in Pichilemu, Chile (also known as βSatoshilemuβ), where we onboard local merchants and individuals to use Bitcoin in their daily lives.
Many participants:
- Are new to Bitcoin
- Have limited technical knowledge
- Prefer or require Spanish interfaces to feel confident using the tools
Without Spanish localization, onboarding becomes slower, more complex, and requires constant manual guidance.
Why this matters:
- Reduces friction for first-time users
- Increases trust and usability
- Enables real-world adoption in local economies
- Supports grassroots Bitcoin communities across Latin America
Additional note:
Iβd be happy to collaborate or contribute to the Spanish translation if that helps accelerate implementation.
