Another item: i18ni18n Internationalization, or the act of writing and preparing code to be fully translatable into other languages. Also see localization. Often written with a lowercase i so it is not confused with a lowercase L or the numeral 1. Often an acquired skill. of the WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

  As I’m going to have to take off before the chat ends, here’s where things are at:
  
  The system will work as follow:
  - monitors plugins.svn.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/
  - on commit, and based on a being-determinded trigger logic, we:
  * process the codebase using makepot.php
  * and/or extract translatable strings out of the parsed readme (paragraphs, list items, etc) using code I’m working on right now
  * either or both will give us a tmp pot file
  - we take the pot file and import it to glotpress, to approriate project (using existing import scripts for that)
  * code EG: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wordpress-importer/dev
  * readme EG: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wordpress-importer/dev-readme
  
  We’d now have community translationtranslation The process (or result) of changing text, words, and display formatting to support another language. Also see localization, internationalization. for both code and readme, for a dev and stable branchbranch A directory in Subversion. WordPress uses branches to store the latest development code for each major release (3.9, 4.0, etc.). Branches are then updated with code for any minor releases of that branch. Sometimes, a major version of WordPress and its minor versions are collectively referred to as a "branch", such as "the 4.0 branch". for each pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party.
  - ReadMe is kept in own GlotPress “project” because it’s used in far fewer contexts than the code’s, so we didn’t want to burden the code pot/po/mo files with the readme’s content.
  - We’ll be using https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/ (might be renamed “plugins”). Was told it’ll scale.
  Next step is to use the data:
  - for plugin directory pages and APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. responses:
  * when accessed on localized site, or when passed a language (API), we’ll take the plugin slug
  * we query the glotpress db directly for all readme approved strings for plugin
  * we loopLoop The Loop is PHP code used by WordPress to display posts. Using The Loop, WordPress processes each post to be displayed on the current page, and formats it according to how it matches specified criteria within The Loop tags. Any HTML or PHP code in the Loop will be processed on each post. https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop. on them and regex replace them out of the readme content (bbpressbbPress Free, open source software built on top of WordPress for easily creating forums on sites. https://bbpress.org. topic_content)
  * cache the heck (long ttl) out of that (per readme section)
  * display
  
  That covers displaying on the sites (wp.org, fr.wp.org, etc), as well as in coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress., via the wp.org plugin API, since we’re already passing the local installLocal Install A local install of WordPress is a way to create a staging environment by installing a LAMP or LEMP stack on your local computer.’s laguage when querying it.
  
  I’ll leave the language packs part to @nacin to explain, it’s his baby 🙂

I’d like to add #30405 to the discussion list. The BetaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process.

  I’m looking into this one right now. The original reporter also opened a ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. on the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

Also the place to go to report issues that are caused by errors with the WordPress code and implementations.. I suggest keeping them separated to the forum for the plugin and track for the SVNSVN Subversion, the popular version control system (VCS) by the Apache project, used by WordPress to manage changes to its codebase. updating to betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions.

Could I request that #30335 be moved up in the order a bit? I have to leave the meeting after the first hour and I want to make sure I’m there for the discussion.
