Internationalizing it all

There are a number of internationalization projects going on towards localizing most of our web properties, along with providing localized assets for coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. users (localized plugins, etc).

I have and am working on providing a translation platform for all plugins (code and readmes), and the related internationalization of the plugins directory 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..

@nacin has done some work on being able to install plugins (and themes?) in the same locale as a WordPress install, when set.

I’ve read that @dd32 has been looking into translating the new themes directory (info in theme headers, from styles.css) and probably API.

@samuelsidler (who is away this week) and I would like to organize a general chat in #meta-i18n sometimes during the week of April 13th, so we can map out everything in front of us, and push on all of them together.

To be discussed: Rosetta, forums, theme directory, 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 directory, themes, plugins, local P2s, GlotPress (soft and install).

Chat date/time suggestions: April 14th, at 2000 UTC (same time range as core chat, 1 day before).

Don’t mind me. Just checking the time shortcodeShortcode A shortcode is a placeholder used within a WordPress post, page, or widget to insert a form or function generated by a plugin in a specific location on your site. to improve parsing. I’ll be around for the chat.

I’ll try, but it’s during a local WordPress MeetupMeetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through https://www.meetup.com/. A meetup is typically a chance for local WordPress users to get together and share new ideas and seek help from one another. Searching for ‘WordPress’ on meetup.com will help you find options in your area.. So me attending the meeting depends on the available internet connection there.

Once again, when tagging ‘@Sam‘, you are emailing and notifying the wrong person in these dev threads. For the fifth time now, can you please get your handles correct and tag the right person.

  Hey, @Sam, as a fellow Sam, i feel your pain. If you want to shift to a different account name, email me. otto at 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/

I’ve been looking at bringing the Theme directory to Rosetta (international) sites, which will allow the interface to be internationalised. I haven’t looked into translating the actual theme information yet from headers, I’m waiting on seeing how the PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

Unfortunately I’ve not had much luck (yet) converting the Theme Directory theme to a plugin, as is required for bringing it to Rosetta sites.
