Hi strerd
The best way is to use Transifex
I wrote a short tutorial here.

This is the way that we pull in the updated translations in a standard way, and it gets pulled into the build process

Gnasher Got it - Iā€™ll get acquainted with it while my daughterā€™s doing her homework now.

strerd shout out if you have questions.
There are a few tricks,
Take a look at the interface, and see how to navigate around.

When I get 5 minutes free, i will grab the bitcoin japanese translation file and see if I can push it up to give you a start

How do I use the Bootstrap? Also, the wallet.dat file from the previous version of RDD was in the Data folder. Now itā€™s located in the core directory. Just replace it?

I tried dropping the file in the Reddcoin folder, the wallet said ā€œLoading blockchain from fileā€. It didnā€™t load the blockchain and renamed the bootstrap.dat file to bootstrap.dat.oldā€¦

Hi, This info might help you

When you install Reddcoin, 2 different data paths are used. One for installation, and the other for data

Data directory vs installation directory

  1. The installation directory
    This is where the programs (executables) are installed
    For windows this will be
    32bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Reddcoin Core
    64bit: c:\Program Files\Reddcoin Core

  2. The data directory
    This is where the data (wallet file, blocks, logs, etc) will be
    XP: C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\Reddcoin
    Vista, 7, 8,10: C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Reddcoin

So, to answer your question, you need to put the wallet.dat file and the bootstrap.dat file into the data directory

A side note for bootstrapping
if you want to use boot strap method, you need to delete everything in the data directory (except your wallet.dat)
If you had already started, and then decided to use bootstrap, program will detect the existing blocks and wont use bootstrap.dat
