    WordPress 3.5.1 has been released. It’s a security release, with no string changes, so please kick your localized builds out the door! Thanks.

    We’re still aiming to release WordPress 3.5 tomorrow (target is 16:00 UTC). In the meantime, we’ve made two more string changes in the interest of clarifying some of the gallery settings. Both suggestions came from translators (and others) —

    • “Random” (with the context “gallery order”) is now “Random Order”
    • “Describe this image…” is now “Caption this image…”

    Note there are also “Describe this audio/video/file…” strings, but they can only be triggers by plugins for WordPress 3.5, so I didn’t want to needlessly give you three more strings to translate.

    That’s it, by the way. We’ve continued to make a few tweaks but at this point, if it hasn’t been proposed or reported, we’re done.

    You guys rock, talk to you tomorrow!

      Thanks for the update. Could we have a .pot harvest run as soon as possible, just to make sure everything’s in place?

      • Andrew Nacin 9:16 pm on December 9, 2012 Permalink | Reply

        Yep, I made sure it ran before I posted this. There are still some translation-set caching issues with GlotPress, but I’ve refreshed that (and added it to my list for things to look into).

    Final notes for WordPress 3.5:

    1. Expect a release in 10 to 36 hours from now. (The time is currently 0930 UTC. This general window I am providing you is thus is 1900 today to 2100 tomorrow). The release checklist takes up to an hour, which includes letting you know a release is pending, so you will have some lead time while we run through it. (We’ll be in IRC, #wordpress-dev.)

    2. The “% selected” string is in core. The translator’s comment: This is a would-be plural string used in the media manager. If there is not a word you can use in your language to avoid issues with the lack of plural support here, turn it into “selected: %d” then translate it. For more see #22749.

    3. Two strings, “Insert from URL” and “Set Featured Image”, were added to complete the media modal.

    4. Two strings, “Refresh” and “Description”, were moved from the admin to the frontend, which meant a POT file change. (We can probably make this seamless in the future.)

    Thanks for your patience this cycle. It has been a very enjoyable one. :-)

    There has been a request to split a string into two by adding context to them: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22724. The string is “Random,” and is used in both galleries and the links widget. The same string was also used for both in 3.4. I am inclined to leave it as is for 3.5 and deal with it in 3.6. Does this affect you? Please comment to the ticket.

          FAO Ze, sorry to post here, the main post did not catch your attention:

          Hi Ze,

          I am glad that you set up two pages for North Azerbaijani Turkish and Hazaragi. But the page for South Azerbaijani Turkish is not activated yet, dashboard is not accessible for other pages and LTR function is needed for Hazaragi and South Azerbaijani Turkish if activated.
          pages should be:
          azb.wordpress.org
          haz.wordpress.org
          az.wordpress.org
          Thanks again

    Hello all, there were two (very short) strings added after WordPress 3.5′s string freeze to account for some final changes to the media UI:

    • “Add to Gallery”, the title of a screen. There is also “Add to gallery” (a button), which was added previously.
    • “Reverse order”, used on a button to flip the sort order of a gallery.

    Two more strings already existed, but they moved from the admin to the frontend. If these strings were longer, I would try to manually copy it over from the other project, but it is probably easier if you just re-translate it:

    • “No items found.”
    • “Set featured image”

    I appreciate your understanding.

    Our target release date remains Wednesday, December 5, 2012. Zé asked for a prediction as to time. I’m not sure yet, but the window would be between 1600 UTC and 2330 UTC, hopefully toward the earlier side but you never know.

    String Freeze

    Strings for WordPress 3.5 are now frozen.

    The targeted release date remains December 5, 2012 (the same date we announced at the start of the cycle).

    Unfortunately, this means I’m very late in formally declaring a string freeze. This is entirely on me and I accept responsibility for the delay.

    With the exception of the About page, we’ve had only a handful of string changes over the last week. Most translations seem to be in fantastic shape this release, which is a great sight to see. I hope all of you are able to step up and push through.

    If you find any typos or other issues, please report them to http://core.trac.wordpress.org/. If you have any questions (or are just plain frustrated with me), feel free to leave a comment.

    wppolyglots has moved to make.wordpress.org/polyglots!

    Note you’ll now be using WordPress.org usernames here. If there are any issues, let me know.

    All of your existing subscriptions were transferred over (post or comment subscriptions via email, RSS, or Jabber). We also automatically mapped WP.com usernames to WP.org usernames when transferring the posts.

     

    • Jamàl 6:52 am on July 12, 2012 Permalink | Reply

      We also automatically mapped WP.com usernames to WP.org usernames when transferring the posts.

      What about if someone had two different usernames on the DOTCOM and the DOTORG?

      Nice move by the way.

      • Andrew Nacin 2:37 pm on July 12, 2012 Permalink | Reply

        The mapping actually used email addresses to map users, not usernames. Zé and I went through the 50-something users that did not have a corresponding email address and manually looked up WP.org usernames.

        I could not track down the user accounts for a few dozen one-off posts (none from any regular validators/translators that I could identify) — you can find those assigned to the potbot user: http://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/author/potbot/.

      Two things:

      • There is an error in a link to wpdevel in the sidebar, it’s not code, it’s core.
      • Can you please install PuSHPress / RSS Cloud plugins since feeds are now very slow updating on Google Reader and not as fast as on wp.com? Probably a good idea would be to enable them network wide.

    • Milan Dinić 1:50 pm on July 23, 2012 Permalink | Reply

      It looks like there are issues with subscriptions. First thing is that checkbox for subscription to new posts is auto checked for me (I’m not subscribed). Maybe this is intentional but I’m reporting it anyway.

      Yesterday I left comment above and one on make/systems. In both cases I unchecked post subscription and checked comment subscription (100% sure), and for both places I got email to confirm following of those two blogs (i.e. posts). I haven’t received notification about your comment and on subscribe.wp.com there aren’t this two posts in list for comment subscription but there are this blogs on “waiting” list for post subscription.

      And comment subscription is unchecked here right now .

    3.4.1 has just been released. No string changes. There is a 3.4.x project in GlotPress for you. The revision is 21156 for either tags/3.4 or branches/3.4. This is a security update, so speed is important. Cheers!

    [ Edit: I no longer need an answer to this question. ] All translators — Did anyone have a locale.php file (like ru_RU.php) in 3.3 that they no longer included in 3.4? If so, what is your locale? Those files are going to sit there (and be included) after an upgrade, so we need to remove them manually: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20974. Unfortunately it is not easy to ascertain which locales used to have them but no longer do.

    Browse Happy!

    Hello everyone — WordPress runs a site called Browse Happy, which you’ve probably seen, at http://browsehappy.com/. Here’s a bit about it:

    Using an outdated browser makes your computer unsafe. Browse Happy is a way for you to find out what are the latest versions of the major browsers around. You can also learn about alternative browsers that may fit you even better than the one you are currently using.

    The theme is fully internationalized and I would like to offer it in as many languages as possible.

    Like WordPress.org does when directing you to a locale site, Browse Happy will be able to detect your browser’s preferred language and then offer you the ability to view the site in that other language. We will also do either a subdomain or a path to allow direct-linking to a local site (so de.browsehappy.com or browsehappy.com/de/).

    You will then be able to link to the localized version in core. Browse Happy is only 29 strings, so I hope to launch with a few languages next week!

    Here is the project on translate.wordpress.org. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy translating!

     

    • jiehanzheng 9:43 pm on May 11, 2012 Permalink

      Done. By the way, you might also wanna take a look at the word counting issues on Trac.

      I have deployed all completed translations — pt_BR, ru_RU, pt_PT, bs_BA, it_IT, hr, ja, zh_CN, en_CA.

      Thanks everyone! If your browser has an Accept-Language header (which should be most of you), it should work when you go to http://browsehappy.com/. If that doesn’t work, please let me know.

      You can also go to http://browsehappy.com/?locale=ja (for example) — this is what will occur from a localized install of WordPress starting in 3.4.

      • Bage 5:25 am on May 14, 2012 Permalink

      tr_TR is done. Ready to deploy. :)

    • Zé 9:47 am on May 14, 2012 Permalink

      pt is working. Notes:

      • From what I can see, the GP locale isn’t being used, i.e. for Portuguese (Portugal) to show up, I have to add ?locale=pt-pt, instead of ?locale=pt, like everywhere else
      • The “Brought to you by” string exists in GP, but is an image on the site (always english)
      • pt needs redeploy (minor fixes)

      • Andrew Nacin 3:23 pm on May 14, 2012 Permalink

        Yeah, I noticed the “Brought to you by” — will be working on it with @hugobaeta.

        ?locale=pt was loading pt_BR, but I messed up the deploy for pt_BR last night, so you were getting English. I fixed pt_BR, and fixed how guessing works, so locale=pt means it will now detect pt_PT.

        • Zé 3:28 pm on May 14, 2012 Permalink

          It’s important to establish that ‘pt’ means Portuguese and that every other variation of pt_* is exactly that, a variant. We’ve been at this since the 14th century, we’re not about to give it up now :D (and now let the brazilians fume. go!)

        • Andrew Nacin 3:35 pm on May 14, 2012 Permalink

          Yes, locale=pt loading pt_BR was a definitely a bug. :-D The guessing code is now fixed, so values of pt-pt, pt_PT, pt, etc., should all load Portuguese, and only pt-br and pt_BR loads Brazilian portuguese.

          • Zé 3:38 pm on May 14, 2012 Permalink

            This is an old jab at the way Apple lists languages, i.e. Portuguese and Portuguese (Portugal). There are whole forum threads of people angry at the insult :P

    • Milan Dinić 6:32 pm on May 14, 2012 Permalink

      In Firefox and IE9, site title is way too large for sr_RS.

      I suggest that link to wp.org also be i18n so that we can link back to locale sites.

      • Andrew Nacin 6:39 pm on May 14, 2012 Permalink

        Yeah, okay, something weird with Typekit. I noticed it as well. We will get that fixed.

        The link to wp.org was an oversight. It is now translated and it was already in the POT file, so, all set.

    A release of version 3.3.2 is imminent. There are no string changes. This is a security release, so please release as soon as possible.

    An important note. One, you can still build from SVN, there is requirement to use GlotPress at this time. Two, I made numerous changes to many locale’s /dist folders — the folder at i18n.svn.wordpress.org where we pull readme.html, wp-config-sample.php, etc. — in preparation for 3.4. You are going to want to use your 3.3 branch or tag for /dist if that is the case. (I made branches for you if they didn’t exist.)

    So: Check to make sure you are using the right /dist.

    You can check the changelog to your SVN directory here: http://i18n.trac.wordpress.org/log/pt_BR (change pt_BR to your locale folder). And browse yours here: http://i18n.trac.wordpress.org/browser/pt_BR.

    And: TEST YOUR BUILDS.

    If there are any issues, post here, and I, Zé, and others will do my best to resolve them.

      pt_BR is released.

      As a side note, we use tags for the builds.

      Yet, I had a look at branch 3.3 and seemed to me tha it was originally 3.1.1 ?!?! Is that correct? Should not it had come from 3.3.1?

    • Bage 4:37 am on April 21, 2012 Permalink | Reply

      ta_LK has been released.

      We also used tags to build it.

    • Mark Thomas Gazel 9:03 pm on April 22, 2012 Permalink | Reply

      I might need some help here. Or som e pointer.

      Using the repo-browser in Tortoise I can’t access the dist-folder for 3.3.1. Get this error:

      PROPFIND of ‘/!svn/vcc/default’: could not connect to server
      (http://i18n.svn.wordpress.org)

      So should I take the dist-folder from either branch og tag 3.3 and put in an 3.3.2-folder. And then reuse the messages-folder from 3.3.1 and put it in the 3.3.2-folder also?

    • Gabriel Reguly 2:54 am on April 27, 2012 Permalink | Reply

      Today I have found that pt_BR was broken for themes.

      For the build, I have selected the usual (for me) option:

      translate.wordpress.org (dist/ files will still be taken from Subversion)

      But because the GlotPress files were empty, the build got no translations. Yet they where present at Subversion.

      I had the same issue for 3.2.1, instead that time it was the opposite: the strings where not present at Subversion, but at GlotPress. So that time I built from SVN.

      I wonder which would be the recommended option for building 3.4, will it use GlotPress as suggested?

      Regards,
      Gabriel
