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!

Ze Fontainhas
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
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).
-
Milan Dinić
I’ve looked into that and proposed a patch here.

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.

And also http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22767 in the admin.
Thanks to the core team for what looks like a stellar 3.5

We’re ready to go here
Cátia Kitahara
I’ve just found a string which needs plural format http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22749 The string is “selected” and it refers to the number of media selected on the insert media screen. I think it would be better if it could make into 3.5, since it’s on evidence and it’s a very ugly grammar mistake.
-
Andrew Nacin
Here are our options:
- Leave as is. Sorry
- Change the string to “%d selected”, which would allow you to translate it as if it were “selected: %s”. We’d probably throw instructions into a translator’s comment for this one.
- Change the string to “selected: %s”
- Hack in JavaScript plural handling for this once instance (rather than the general API proposed in #22229)
- Leave as is. Sorry
-
Cátia Kitahara
I think Ze Fontainhas is the best person to opinate on that, because I don’t know how it affects other languages. I’d go for the “selected: %s”, though it still sounds strange in Portuguese, but much better than it is now.
-
Ze Fontainhas
Commented on the ticket: “%d selected” is the least incorrect of the solutions.
-
Andrew Nacin
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.
-
Ze Fontainhas
Voted in favor of 3.5

Probably a good idea to force a .pot generation right now

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-
Ze Fontainhas
Replying on the thread, sorry for the delay (please start a new one when you need to bump something, don’t hijack other threads, thanks)

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.

Ze Fontainhas
…hopefully toward the earlier side but you never know.

Should theme tags be translated?
-
Wacław
E.g.: “black, blue, white, two-columns, fixed-width, custom-header, custom-background, threaded-comments, sticky-post, translation-ready, microformats, rtl-language-support, editor-style, custom-menu”.
-
DjZoNe
I don’t know if they should be translated, or not, but in the hungarian version we do translate them.
-
-
Andrew Nacin
I should probably remove them from makepot. There’s no need to translate them. We don’t actually display the list of tags for a theme in the UI anymore, but if we did, WP_Theme intersects a theme’s tags with the list of official tags you already translate for the theme installer, and then uses those localized strings.
-
Wacław
So basically, if the tags in the repository are translated, and those of a theme aren’t, will there be a collision, or are the comparisons done in English?
-
Andrew Nacin
The comparisons are done in English. WP_Theme doesn’t ever even fetch the translation from the MO file.
-
Wacław
Okay.
Thanks!-
Andrew Nacin
The magic occurs in this method, if you’re interested. Tags are handled differently than the other translatable headers.
-

Vane
You could try using this software: https://poeditor.com/. It makes clear distinctions between terms and tags and makes translations really easy to accomplish.

Ah, just didn’t deploy some code. Fixed. Credits screens hold cache for a long time, so you’ll have to clear the transient or try a different install.

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!

How long we should wait until the update appears in Dashboard? I’ve been waiting for half an hour to see the Arabic version but it still does not appear in Dashboard. In the past the new update appeared within 5 minutes. What changed this time?
-
Andrew Nacin
WordPress caches update checks for 12 hours. You’d have to visit Dashboard > Updates to cause it to check now. The Arabic API response looks good here: http://api.wordpress.org/core/version-check/1.6/?debug&locale=ar

[ 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.
-
Da^MsT
Yup, we did – sv_SE

I no longer need an answer to this question as I went ahead and wrote a script for it, but thank you for the confirmation. Thanks!

The default time format is set to “H:i” in the Polish translation, but this results in duplicate “H:i” entries on the settings screen: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/265/zrzutekranuz20120623122.png/
-
Andrew Nacin
Can you open a ticket on Trac for this? A simple array_unique() should be enough there, on both $time_formats and $date_formats.
-
Wacław J.
Done.

Jiehan Zheng
Any ideas why Twenty Ten and Twenty Eleven are not updating when using the automatic update for upgrading to 3.4? Users are reporting that after they update the themes separately, they lose the translation files for their themes…
-
ocean90
Because wp-content isn’t touched on an update anymore.

Yes, themes are not updated together with WordPress, but there is also no support for updates of localized themes and plugins
We are waiting for Language packs – http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18200

However is was done using trunk and HEAD.
Please enable 3.4 and 3.4.x
-
Gabriel Reguly
Update: we are having a WordCamp this weekend, will postpone until monday.
-
Andrew Nacin
Huh? What are you postponing? Just release it.
I will work on enabling 3.4/3.4.x but trunk and HEAD will be fine for the moment.
-
Gabriel Reguly
Yep, I know trunk and HEAD are fine for now.
Later it will be used 21078, correct?
Anyway it is the revision of the translations that is not complete yet.
Cátia and Diana will be doing a final effort to make the release during the WordCamp or the next monday
-
Andrew Nacin
You can use translate.wordpress.org; tags/3.4 or branches/3.4 for dist files (if you have those), “Development (trunk)” for GlotPress. Revision 21078 is proper, yes.
I will create a 3.4.x GlotPress project but I first want to implement project branching in GlotPress so you don’t all need to re-import your translations.

pt_BR is released.

I’m getting the same error in SVN (da_DK) as the last time. Can’t access the tags-folder.
I managed to create af branch 3.4 folder with a dist-folder inside. So I could build from that, but @nacin would you please look into it? I would like the tags-folder ind place too.
-
Andrew Nacin
I’m not getting any errors. In the future, please screenshot or copy the exact error as well as the settings you used. I just created a 3.4 build from da.wordpress.org using translate.wordpress.org; tags/3.4 for dist files, Development (trunk) for GlotPress. Worked like a charm.
-
Mark Thomas Gazel
Thank you. I’ll remember screenshots.
Your build was missing the danish dist-files.
I think it was because the files were in the root-folder, tags/3.4 and not tags/3.4/dist/
But I had access to SVN and made some adjustments, so everything is fine and released now.
Thanks again

Same issue here, pt_BR files for Twenty Ten and Twenty Eleven are included in the package built.
But when updating the themes, the translation is lost.
Looks like is its a known problem https://wppolyglots.wordpress.com/2011/07/13/twenty-eleven-losses-translation-after-3-2-1-update/#comment-3597

Just rename the package from 3.5.2-alpha to 3.5.1. Don’t forget to type in the correct revision number (23345).
