In GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org., you may need to export 3.3.x/ms stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. and import them into dev.

For 3.4, we’re changing how we split strings into multiple pot files. Since 3.0, we’ve done a generic POT and then a second POT for multisiteMultisite Multisite is a WordPress feature which allows users to create a network of sites on a single WordPress installation. Available since WordPress version 3.0, Multisite is a continuation of WPMU or WordPress Multiuser project. WordPress MultiUser project was discontinued and its features were included into WordPress core.https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network.. We are now going to be doing a frontend POT, an admin POT, and a network admin POT. The projects have been added to GlotPress here and here.

While merging and splitting projects in GlotPress, some strings got orphaned. Before you go re-translate all of the missing strings, first go to translate.wordpress.orgtranslate.wordpress.org The platform for contributing to the translation of WordPress core, themes and plugins./projects/wp/3.3.x/ms, export a po file, and import it into both wp/dev/admin and wp/dev/admin/network. Everything should be back to normal.

Cheers, and sorry for the trouble. For more, see ticket 19852.

Thanks Andrew.

Question from a SVNSVN Apache Subversion (often abbreviated SVN, after its command name svn) is a software versioning and revision control system. Software developers use Subversion to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation. Its goal is to be a mostly compatible successor to the widely used Concurrent Versions System (CVS). WordPress core and the wordpress.org released code are all centrally managed through SVN. https://subversion.apache.org/.-using team: what are the new names of the needed PO filesPO files PO files are human readable files which contain translations we use.

The POT files are wordpress.pot, wordpress-admin.pot, and wordpress-admin-network.pot. You can see these here: https://i18n.svn.wordpress.org/pot/trunk/.

    /dist/ is needed if you wish to translate wp-config-sample.php and readme.htmlHTML HTML is an acronym for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is a markup language that is used in the development of web pages and websites.. Nothing else inside /trunk is needed.
