There are some projects, where I could not find entry for te_IN, for instance, http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/android/dev. In such a case, should I make a request for such projects for telugu translations? Or Can I create one?

request: can you please add me (vamsitech) to the validators group for Telugu. I am very much interested in getting the telugu translation completed.

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

Please request in WP Polyglots: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/
Thanks,
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?

Ze Fontainhas
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.

You shouldn’t need access to svn, could you tell me what you are trying to do? Thanks.

You need to request it, please.

I’ve added te_IN to Android, Blackberry, iOS and Windows Phone in the meantime.
