Found a bugbug A bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority.? Create a ticket in the bug tracker.

Want to contribute? Get started quickly with tickets marked as good first bugs for new contributors or join a bug scrub. There’s more on the reports page, like patches needing testing, and on feature projects page.

Other questions? Here is a detailed handbook for contributors, complete with tutorials.

Team Update: i18ni18n Internationalization, or the act of writing and preparing code to be fully translatable into other languages. Also see localization. Often written with a lowercase i so it is not confused with a lowercase L or the numeral 1. Often an acquired skill.

Our first two-week cycle comes to a close. Very successful, with more than 20 tickets outright closed, and more in the pipeline or nearing completion. Some highlights since last week’s update:

Fixed localization issues when a pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party calls wp_enqueue_script() too early. #19959, #11526
Fixed ajax calls for IDN domains (broken in IE and Opera). We partnered with Ryan on this one, to introduce a new ‘relative’ scheme for the URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org functions. #18952
Hebrew letter nun no longer breaks search results. (Good UTF-8 fix.) #19033
We finished off #19852 and, again, #18180, #19924, and #19600
Commas (when used to separate tags) were internationalized. A very helpful fix for a number of locales. #7897
Finalized RTL styling changes in #19598
Made the TinyMCE spellchecker dropdown localizable #19962
The document for translators is current (view it here)
Awaiting feedback from translationtranslation The process (or result) of changing text, words, and display formatting to support another language. Also see localization, internationalization. teams in #19980, #8759, and #19601
Ryan and I want to revisit #19599

Our next cycle will start in a few days. It will focus on the raw implementation of language packs. Dion will be spearheading the upgrade/install bits while I continue to work on infrastructure as well as the contents of said packs. For now, Sergey is looking at transliteration and character conversion, while I will work on #19597 and #15858.

#3-4, #i18n, #team-update
