I’m a bit shocked with the statement that GTEGeneral Translation Editor A General Translation Editor (often referred to as GTE) is a person, who has global access to validate strings on all projects for a specific locale. can appoint a PTEProject Translation Editor A Project Translation Editor (often referred to as PTE) is a person, who has access to validate strings on a specific project (for example BuddyPress, WooCommerce or Twenty Fourteen) for one specific locale. A project translation editor can approve strings that are added by translation contributors. Per project translation, editors are appointed by a general translation editor after a request by the project author or by the contributors themselves. for a 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 without the agreement of a plugin developer. Unsure if this is an official statement but as a plugin developer you should be the only person who controls who is allowed to validate your plugins. And I think it’s time that plugin developer finally get a tool that they can control that.

So the question is, is this statement official and secondly when will there be a tool for plugin developers to use?

Hey All,

On GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org. there is now a ticket for cleaning up the localesLocale Locale = language version, often a combination of a language code and a region code, for instance es_MX denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico. A list of all locales supported by WordPress in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/ file. A part of this is renaming the English or native name. If you have time, then please check if there is a change for your localeLocale Locale = language version, often a combination of a language code and a region code, for instance es_MX denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico. A list of all locales supported by WordPress in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/ and leave feedback behind. Like for Chinese the idea is to rename the English names to “Chinese (Simplified)” and “Chinese (Traditional)” for zh_CN and zh_TW.
