      hi Ze,
      that’s where I started. I was told by the admin Veeven to request the access on this forum instead.

        I don’t get it. Is Veeven having problems with adding you to te.wordpress.org? I’d need some kind of confirmation from him (right here is fine).

          Here is the email I got from Veeven.

            Look, I am willing to extend all kinds of leeway and everything, but I really need a confirmation from Veeven himself, as I am sure you understand.

            That’s fine. I am not gaining anything (personally) by getting access to this translation. I am just trying to help and if it takes for ever, too bad but its OK.

            I will just do my piece in the translation and lets hope someone else can approve all the translations. Its been over a week since I updated 110 Telugu translations but seems like no one is around to approve the translations.

            Also, I was looking at the rest of the Indian languages and many of them have the format xx_IN but Telugu is setup as ‘te’. Why is that?

            I am not trying to stop you from managing the translation, quite the opposite, but put yourself in my shoes, I can’t simply switch admins on request. The previous admin needs to ok it.

            As to te versus te_IN, we usually only add the country code when there is a need for disambiguation (for example for supporting a variant of Telugu spoken elsewhere)

          Yes. I do not know I can make someone as validator. I tried in https://translate.wordpress.org/projects But, I did not find any pointers to user rights or something.

          Am I missing something? Or, can you please point to to the location?

            Simply visit http://te.wordpress.org/wp-admin/users.php and add the user as a “Validator”, Translate will read from there.

    VamsiTech,

    First of all, sorry for the delay and the confusion. I did not know I had gotten the rights. (If you see my earlier request post, that did not have any confirmation.)

    Second of all, thanks for volunteering for Telugu.

    I am reviewing your translations. Here is an early feedback: Some of your translations are really good. Few lacked consistency (e.g., రాండం vs యాదృచ్చికం). Some did not use localized terms coined in projects like MediaWiki and LibreOffice (e.g., save → భద్రపరచు, text → పాఠ్యం). Few full sentence translations did not follow word order natural to Telugu.

    You may choose to leave out the complex admin interface messages for now and concentrate on high-visibility terms of the themes and then simple messages of admin interface.

    Towards the consistency of localization terms, I also recommend you join telugupadam.org and FUEL Telugu efforts.
