I requested to become validator for Persian language three months ago (https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2013/09/30/validation-request-there-are-a-few-languages-in/#comment-248879)
I got this answer: Go contact Persian WordPress team! so I contacted them and their latest answer was: “we will contact you” and this is two months that there’s no contact!
Current Persian language validators are so inactive that it took them like a month to validate translations that I and other volunteers had translated for WordPress 3.8 (even when 3.8 didn’t have many new stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings.!)
It’s good to know that for example bbPressbbPress Free, open source software built on top of WordPress for easily creating forums on sites. https://bbpress.org. has 163 strings waiting, BuddyPress has 719 strings waiting, WordPress for Android has 144 and WordPress for iOSiOS The operating system used on iPhones and iPads. has 74 strings waiting!
This situation made some of WordPress lovers to translate WordPress projects independently.
New moderator and validators are necessary for Persian language.

Is there always this much time between requesting and being answered?

Hi, Thanks for your feedback and enthusiasm. wp-persian team is now very small. Our focus has been mainly on keeping WordPress and the 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 up to date. That is the best we could do. In past we had unpleasant experiences by giving roles to people who were active only for a short time and then would never answer their emails. That is one of the main reasons that we have been very picky about validatorValidator See translation editor. requests. You are right however about the current translation queue for other projects. We appologize for that. I’ve been in touch with the @gonahkar who is responsible for translation about some serious restructuring. We will keep everyone updated.

Now YOU became the ones who do not answer emails!
Personal blog of @gonahkar is inactive! Your last activity here is 3 months ago! Your blog is not updated for a year now…. @moallemi ‘s latest activity is a year ago!
It looks like you three have other jobs to do and simply don’t have time for 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/, that’s totally OK! the bad thing is that you CAN let others to do the job but you do NOT.
Every on who does not have time, enthusiasm or whatever! MUST go and let others to come and continue the work…

  Ok, let’s keep this cool and civil (i.e. why the situation is what it is, is only mildly relevant, let’s focus on making it better) @mani_monaj‘s approach sounds reasonable, maybe he could give you a trial period as a validatorValidator See translation editor., to see how it goes and decide from there.
mshastchi 4:34 pm on February 20, 2014

OK.
mshastchi 5:07 pm on February 20, 2014

Thank you Ze.
