Global.WordPress.org — also known as the Rosetta sites — is a WordPress Multisite network for international WordPress communities to offer localized translations of WordPress and support resources.
If you’d like to contribute, just follow the steps below.
- Familiarize yourself with contributing to Meta projects in general.
- Setup your local development environment.
- WordPress Meta Environment is the easiest way; it’s a a turn-key development environment that’s pre-configured for working on WordCamp.org and several other official WordPress websites.
- If you already have an environment, you can use Subversion to check out the source code for our custom plugins and themes.
- Search the International Sites component on the Meta Trac for a ticket to work on. Those with the good-first-bug keyword are great if you’re new to contributing.
- Once you’ve finished working on the ticket, create a patch and upload it to the ticket.
- Your patch will be reviewed by a developer on the Meta team. We’ll either give you some feedback to improve it, or go ahead and commit it.
Thanks for contributing! If you’d like to get involved on a regular basis, these would be a good start:
- Subscribe to our P2 to stay up to date and participate in discussions.
- Subscribe to the Meta Trac mailing list to be notified of new tickets that may interest you. The list can generate 5-15 e-mails per day, so you may want to setup a filter to automatically move them to a separate folder, so that they don’t clog your inbox.
- Join the #meta channel on Slack to participate in meetings and ticket triages. Most people just idle in the room 99% of the time, rather than having constant conversations.
- Ping Samuel Sidler (username sams) in #wordpress-meta if you’d like help finding something to work on or have any questions.
