I’ve created a page with a quick list of my current pain points with i18n in general. Please add anything you feel to be relevant to these points, keeping in mind that it’s still rather high-level at this point. I’d love to have everyone’s input.

My, don’t we look just dashing today.
Congrats @otto42 on the WordPress.org redesign, now let’s use that on rosetta sites, too

I’ll see what I can do. No promises.
-
Ze Fontainhas
Sorry, I wanted to stress the great job, not schnorr; for it to happen for rosetta, wider issues need to be addressed first, anyway
-
Samuel Wood (Otto)
Well, looking at it, rosetta is really just a theme. It can be rewritten to work with the core .org home kind of style. Hey, I was able to shoehorn the header style into playing happy with P2 for these make sites, so I know it’s possible. But it will definitely take some time.
-
Ze Fontainhas
In that case, and in the name of living on the edge, why not MP6 the dashboard of the make P2s?

Congrats Otto! It is really looking nice.

Samuel Wood (Otto)
You can give design props to the MP6 team. All I did was fiddle around with the code to make it look like their photoshop files.

Birgit Olzem
can you please update Rosetta correctly? On http://de.wordpress.org there is only a black block instead whole black background in the header.
-
Kevin Kyburz (@swissky)
Currently it looks terrible and unfinished on our sites
-
Ze Fontainhas
Impatient bunch, are we? Let the man work
-
Birgit Olzem
We? Impatient? Not at least?
But some users are grumbeling in G+ -
Kevin Kyburz (@swissky)
We are not impatient, we are not only used where there is no perfect =)
It’s just a shame that our visits can see and say it was wrong programmed

I like the new design, I love the black color anyway
-
Wacław
Me too. It’s nice to see the site refreshed.
-
-
Nashwan Doaqan
I think the new design not finished yet , I see a lot of problems … Where I should report about this ?
-
Andrew Nacin
A few of you have pointed out that things look “broken” — this was just due to some CSS caching. Things should look much better now.
-
Milan Dinić
@otto42 Now that this is used on locale sites, you might want to consider using all character sets for Open Sans.
-
Samuel Wood (Otto)
Good thinking. Done.
-
-
-
Ze Fontainhas
Should we change the title of http://ar.wordpress.org, from “Arabic” to “العربية”, to keep it consistent with the other rosetta sites?
-
Nashwan Doaqan
Yeah , that will be cool , Thanks Ze
-
Ze Fontainhas
Done
-
-
Nashwan Doaqan
Ze , I need you in the IRC if you have time now
-
Ze Fontainhas
Sure

Ze Fontainhas
I’ve deployed Rosetta for ar, as requested, but you really need to change that screenshot… It looks like 2.1, from 2007
You can upload a new one here: http://ar.wordpress.org/wp-admin/themes.php?page=custom-header-
Rasheed Bydousi
I’m going to change the screenshot.
Anyway I miss wp 2.1

Can we do an IRC meeting next week, to go over what’s been discussed last time? Also @raggedrobins (Siobhan of the Docs team) would like to pitch in the organization of polyglots’ documentation. How’s next Tuesday for everyone? The channel is #wordpress-polyglots.
-
Cátia Kitahara
I can, but is it just us again? I think more people should be present.
-
Siobhan
I can be there on Tuesday. What time?
-
Siobhan
Is this going ahead?
-
Ze Fontainhas
20:00 GMT?
-
Siobhan
In my diary

Guys, I forgot, it’s Carnival here, I don’t know if I can make it.

Ze Fontainhas
Polyglots chat this Tuesday, on #wordpress-polyglots on IRC (20:00 GMT)?
-
Cátia Kitahara
I’m in
-
Ze Fontainhas
Sorry for the late notice, but can we move this to tomorrow (same time)? Something unexpected popped up and I need to deal with it.
-
Cátia Kitahara
Ok, no worries, see you tomorrow. I’d like to understand why sometimes I don’t get the email notification
, though

Ze Fontainhas
As per discussions during the summit, we’ll be doing a weekly chat around the issues raised and any others that pop up. I’ve proposed an agenda here, feel free to add to it on this P2 (not on updates, please).
As to the chat itself, I suggest Tuesdays, on #wordpress-polyglots on IRC, for those who want to be present. Given the spread in timezones however, we need to work out a time that works for everyone. Myself, I am on the GMT timezone and anything from 9:00 to 22:00 GMT is good.

Cátia Kitahara
On the topic about the global site, I’ve wrote my views after Jane’s comment agaisnt it.Anyone interested on it, please read it. I’ve already evolved those thoughts and I’d like to talk about it on our chat.
I’d like to add a topic about GlotPress development. Not sure if it’s the place to talk about it, if not, I’d like to talk to you, Zé, about it.
As to the chat I’m ok with Tuesdays, from 12:00 to 21:00 GMT.-
Ze Fontainhas
I’m available to talk anytime, you know how to reach me
As to GlotPress, my opinion is that it is a separate discussion. I understand that we here are its most significant user base, but in the perspective of “global WordPress” it is no more than a tool, with its own blog, svn and trac.

I love the idea of global site. ^ ^
Being a translator for more than four years. I always be happy everytime when someone admire my work and said “thank you” to me. -
Cátia Kitahara
So, when are we going to have our chat?
-
Ze Fontainhas
I suggest 20:00 GMT, on #wordpress-polyglots
-
Cátia Kitahara
perfect! I’ll be there.

WordPress 3.5 is out. If you are going to build your local version now, keep in mind that GlotPress doesn’t have a 3.5 project yet. You’ll need to build like so, to get your 3.5:
(i.e. your-repo-tags/3.5, Project Development (trunk), Release 23171, Version 3.5)
-
Ze Fontainhas
Oh, and pt_PT is out, too
-
Cátia Kitahara
That’s not fair you have inside information
-
Ze Fontainhas
I certainly did not; I followed #wordpress-dev on IRC, just like you could have and probably should.

Hi Zé,
Fernando has tried to create the es_ES localization, but he say he hasn’t the 3.5 tag.
What can we do?
Thank you
-
Ze Fontainhas
Do you meant the es repo tag? He needs to create that
-
José Conti
ok, thank you Zé.
We’re working on it,

And there is no changes to dist files? Except for changing the version number in the readme file.
-
Kenan Dervisevic
Yes, dist files are the same.
bs_BA is out too.

Cátia Kitahara
Zé, something weird is happening with pt_BR build, the theme files are coming inside the core languages files inside a directory named themes and the theme’s languages files are empty. could you help me please?
-
Ze Fontainhas
It’s intended behaviour; themes now have the option of storing their language files under /wp-content/languages, so that they don’t get wiped out on upgrading the theme. Twenty* themes do that now. See http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18960 for more info.
-
Cátia Kitahara
Ok, I wasn’t aware of that. Ufs! Thought I did something wrong! I released and a friend noticed that.
-

-
Cátia Kitahara
ah, and pt_BR is out too. I’m toasting with cold beer, here, after a 34ºC hot day! Cheers, banzai, saúde! Long life WordPress!

martian36
Hi, After installation, Korean version has several links with English which is same as previous version. I don’t know why. When I replace the ko_KR.mo file from the GlotPress, it works. meaning it displays in Korean. Can you fix it, drssay? pls refer to my posting –>http://martian36.tistory.com/1100

I’m having problems with embeding video from http://wordpress.org/news/2012/12/elvin/ in my post on hr.wordpress.org. Every time I insert video HTML code it embeds ‘Introducing VideoPress’ video instead.
-
Kenan Dervisevic
Try using shortcode instead of html. Add “wpvideo jQDfEbzZ w=640″ with square brackets instead of quotes to your post. The result should be a WP 3.5 introduction video with width of 640 pixels.

Jurica Zuanović
Thank you Kenan, it worked

3.5 is a little behind (but the reasons are noble). Exhale.
Disappointed to say WordPress 3.5 will not be out today. Still aiming for a launch this week; hoping to enter code freeze tonight.

Thanks, but only in .org? how about http://translate.wordpress.com

My guess is that there will be a deploy to .com at some point, but only WordPress.com support can answer that,

BuddyPress 1.6.x is now live on Translate. Feel free to import translations from previous versions to give you a head start. Just a reminder the project will be fed with the strings from http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/1.6. The Development project will keep getting its strings from http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk
