Internationalizing it all

There are a number of internationalization projects going on towards localizing most of our web properties, along with providing localized assets for coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. users (localized plugins, etc).

I have and am working on providing a translation platform for all plugins (code and readmes), and the related internationalization of the plugins directory and APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways..

@nacin has done some work on being able to install plugins (and themes?) in the same locale as a WordPress install, when set.

I’ve read that @dd32 has been looking into translating the new themes directory (info in theme headers, from styles.css) and probably API.

@samuelsidler (who is away this week) and I would like to organize a general chat in #meta-i18n sometimes during the week of April 13th, so we can map out everything in front of us, and push on all of them together.

To be discussed: Rosetta, forums, theme directory, 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 directory, themes, plugins, local P2s, GlotPress (soft and install).

Chat date/time suggestions: April 14th, at 2000 UTC (same time range as core chat, 1 day before).
