Hi everyone,<\/p>\n
I wanted to share an open-source Bitcoin UX project we just published:<\/p>\n
https:\/\/github.com\/osem23\/bip39-wordlists-tzur<\/a><\/p>\n It is a set of BIP-39 display wordlists in 31 languages: English plus 30 native-language lists.<\/p>\n The goal is simple: let users back up and restore a BIP-39 recovery phrase in their own language, without changing the cryptographic seed.<\/p>\n The seed of record remains the canonical English BIP-39 mnemonic. PBKDF2 still runs on the English form. The native-language lists are only a display and input layer, index-paired to canonical English, so they add no new cryptographic surface.<\/p>\n The repo includes:<\/p>\n 30 native-language display wordlists Languages include Arabic, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Farsi, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai, Hebrew, Polish, Ukrainian, Romanian, Swedish, Danish, Filipino, Malay, Indonesian, Russian, Dutch, German, Estonian, and others.<\/p>\n Why we built it:<\/p>\n BIP-39 has canonical wordlists for only 10 languages. Most of the world still has to deal with recovery phrases in English or in a language that is not native to them.<\/p>\n We wanted to explore whether wallets can improve recovery UX for non-English users while staying fully compatible with standard BIP-39 flows.<\/p>\n This is not a new seed scheme, not a wallet, not a token, and not a replacement for canonical BIP-39.<\/p>\n It is a display-layer convention for multilingual recovery UX.<\/p>\n We would appreciate review, criticism, native-speaker corrections, and feedback from wallet developers.<\/p>\n GitHub: submitted by \/u\/osem23 <\/a>
