Translator Credits
The WordPress Credits page (wp-admin/credits.php, new in 3.2) shows the list of translators for the active locale. There are a few things you need to know:
- There is a string “Translators” with the context of “Translate this to be the equivalent of ‘English Translators’ in your language for the credits page Translators section”. Please do as requested.
- The names are pulled dynamically from GlotPress. It is designed to show anyone who has contributed an approved string for the current release. (If something doesn’t feel right, let me know.)
- Please update your display name in your WordPress.org profile. It will use this if present, but please note that UTF-8 characters are not currently allowed. (Known limitation.) The data is cached both in core and on the API server, so updates won’t be immediate.
Happy translating,
Nacin

Thank you!
There are translators who are the only one working on their language and who use SVN only, so it would be better to also include validators from GlotPress too, or those who committed on SVN for that locale.
But even GP thing doesn’t work perfect, I import PO files in it (which means strings are approved since I’m validator) and I’m not shown.
And one bug: if there are no translators, there shouldn’t be ‘translators’ slug in API response (as in en_US) since there will be errors “Warning: array_walk() [function.array-walk]: The argument should be an array in wp-admin/credits.php on line 100″ and “Warning: shuffle() expects parameter 1 to be array, string given in wp-admin/credits.php on line 101″

SVN will not be supported. I would argue that the reason why they’re the only person on their language is because, in part, they’re not working in the open with GlotPress.
I’ll look into supporting strings you import, thanks.
I’ll check on the bug. In which locale are you seeing the warnings?

Every language is on GP and anyone can submit translations. But that doesn’t mean that there will be community around that translation project. Many languages are small and one can’t except that in all of them there will be many people working on it since translating WP nowadays requires a lot of work and knowledge.

The warnings are fixed – the API was returning invalid data.
In the end, the strings need to be in GlotPress. In your case, you’re importing them. That will be supported. Pure SVN will not.

Now thát is a cool feature. I just checked to see what that looks like, but I think a seperation between a list of Validators follewed by contributors would look even better. I don’t how this is with other languages, but in our case the validators do the bulk of the work …

Thought about that, but I’m not sure if it’s necessary. Not to discount the work of the validators, but our contributors are all listed together, whether they’ve submitted a single patch to fix a typo, or dozens of major code contributions.

Have you seen the rest of the responses regarding this topic? What are your thoughts on that now?

It’ll be implemented this weekend.

You mean our suggestions? Great.. I was looking for a trac ticket on this but I couldn’t find one.. is there one?
Andrew Nacin 9:11 am on June 3, 2011 Permalink
Not yet. I’ll handle it this weekend.
Remkus de Vries 9:12 am on June 3, 2011 Permalink
Ok, thanks man!

The current RC2 still doesn’t show the translators properly on the credit page ..
Remkus 1:16 am on May 26, 2011 Permalink |
Necessary is a big word, but greatly appreciated, yes! Having the validators in plain sight would also help in making that person / team more visible to the dedicated user group and isnt’t that what the credits page is all about?

At least, should be visible user avatar of validator as in core developer group and show as validator in bracket.
And one thing is all names in contributors list and translators list are very close to each other. It is not looking good and difficult to see clearly. Should be some space in each name.

+1, will make it easier to spot who’s responsible for releases as well (I’d guess)
