WordPress 4.6 soft string freeze – time to translate (almost) all the things!

Dear polyglots,

As of a few minutes ago, we’re in soft string freezeString freeze The term "string freeze" is used by the core team to mark the end of changes to the strings of an upcoming release. A string freeze also means that there will be no more strings added to the core project. Sometimes a string freeze has two phases a soft freeze and a hard freeze. A string freeze is announced on the Polyglots blog by the current release lead., which means all the stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. for the upcoming WordPress 4.6 release with the exception of the strings from the About page, are frozen and won’t be changed.

The release is scheduled for August 16th, so we recommend that you use the time between now and the hard string freeze (expected on August 5th), to translate and test translation for everything that is included in the 4.6. development project.

Don’t miss Continents & cities, it’s not been updated with new strings in a while but now has several new ones!

Let’s get 4.6 released with the largest number of 100% translated locales to date 😉

We have 11 locales already at 100% (well done!)

33 locales have more than 95%:

WordPress 4.4 string freeze and release date – bring your locales to 100%

Dear polyglots,

WordPress 4.4 RC1 and the soft string freeze for WordPress 4.4 were announced last night.

4.2: “soft” string freeze

This morning we released 4.2 BetaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. 4, and as promised, we’ve also reached soft string freeze.

“Soft” string freeze constitutes a freeze on all new stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings., excluding the About page. You can expect a “hard” freeze once we tag RC1 in a week or so, and that will include the About page strings.

It’s likely you’ll be seeing some changes to existing strings trickling in over the next few days as @nacin goes through and audits changes from the release. We’ll do our best to keep that to a minimum.

According to the 4.2 release schedule, we’re right on track for an April 22nd release.

At this point, please consider strings formally frozen. If there are any necessary changes, @markjaquith and I will beg for forgiveness.

Well, we’ll actually start begging for forgiveness in advance. The about page has not been updated for 3.6, and we will be pushing all of those strings in the next 24-36 hours. Once pushed, there will be no changes to them (previously, we’ve tinkered with them a bit); it too will be frozen. The about page is a good amount of strings, but since so many of you are so far along in translating WordPress 3.6 (many of you only have two dozen short strings to go), we’re really confident in your abilities — and, of course, appreciate your hard work in making WordPress available in your language.

Timeline: At this time, I would expect WordPress 3.6 to be released early next week.
