  Global WordPress Translation Day 2 on November 12th, 2016 

  The first Global WordPress Translation Day was so much fun and made a real difference for us as a global team. That’s why on November 12th, we’re doing it again and everyone can join!

  What are we doing?

  • Local translation contributor days – as many as possible (last time we had more than 50, let’s beat that!)
  • Remote events for as many languages as possible to support contributors who would like to join from their home
  • 24 hours of live streaming sessions about localization and internationalization (L10n and i18n).

  Who are the sessions for?

  • New contributors who would like to learn how to translate WordPress in their language
  • New and experienced translation editors – the sessions will have useful tips and advice how to build and maintain a strong translation team
  • Developers who would like to find translators for their projects – the sessions will teach you how to work with the polyglots team and how to build a translation community around your products
  • Developers who would like to learn how to prepare their plugins and themes for localization
  • Everyone who would like to learn how translations work in WordPress and get a general idea of the work of the Polyglots team.

  When is it happening?

  On November 12th, 2016, starting at exactly 0:00 UTC.

  See when the event starts for you!

  Why are we doing it?

  • To have fun and get to know each other better.
  • To encourage more translation contributors to get involved and expand the WordPress Polyglots team
  • To improve the general understanding of how WordPress deals with translations among the development community
  • To create strong connections between the plugin and theme authors and the WordPress translation community

  How can you join?

  • Translate – Just join us on November 12th in your own timezone and translate WordPress or your favourite plugins and themes to your language at http://translate.wordpress.org
  • Watch live sessions at https://www.crowdcast.io/e/global-wordpress
  • Organise a local event – put your name down for organising an event in the “Local events” tab on the GWTD2 org spreadsheet
  • Organise a remote event – put your name down for organising a remote event in the “Remote events” tab on the GWTD2 org spreadsheet
  • Join the organising team of Global WordPress Translation Day – open the org spreadsheet on the Tasks tab and find something you’d like to help out with!
  • Speak – Become a speaker during Global WordPress Translation Day – suggest a topic by filling this short survey

  Please also comment below if you’d like to get involved but are not sure how. We’ll help you out!

  That’s it for now. Let’s make the second one even better.

  Cheers!

  Petya

    Hello @petya,

    It is great that this event is taking place in November, just a few days shy of my birthday!

    I would love to help out any way I can. I am a writer and also a journalist who has translated books, articles and publications from English to Hausa and vice versa. This will be a great opportunity for me to get involved in the work of translating WordPress.

    However, I do not know if I can help since the locale request for hau_NG (Hausa-Nigeria) has not been approved yet. There is basically no Hausa platform to contribute on.

    Hopefully, things will move quickly on your end, and I and others can get to work setting up our translation team. May be just in time for the Global Translations Day too! Meantime, please find a spot for me, so I can do something useful to the community!

    Have a great day everyone (It is 8.22am here in Sudan)!

    Mo

      Hello @sanitios,

      The Hausa locale will be ready long before November 12th, so you will have the opportunity to get involved.

      Thank you for your comment!

  GlotDict 1.1.5 

  Hey amazing Polyglots!

  A new release will be available on your Firefox or Chrome in few hours with new features.

  I got inspiration for new features from https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2016/08/23/the-glossaries-in-the-wordpress-localization/ (the survey inside) so because the Italian Translation Weekend is near and the GWTD will be in November I chosen to release a new version.

  New Features:

  • Add link to Consistency tool on terms (now the term with tooltip is a link, very easy to reconize)
  • On right click on that term the same is appended in the text in translation (superfast!)
  • Text for new installation to look on the readme (there are many hotkeys to discover!)
  • Improved Readme (well I want that people know the power of the extension)

  For proposal of new features: https://github.com/Mte90/GlotDict
  I hope in no bug but well in case they are new feature that wait to reported and fixed.

  Happy localization!

  Notes from the Polyglots chat on September, 21st 

  Locale stats

  Releases: 162 locales. 65 (+3) locales up to date. 3 (-2) locales behind by minor versions. 8 (±0) locales behind by one major version. 19 (-1) locales behind more than one major version. 59 (±0) locales have a site but never released. 8 (±0) locales don’t have a site.

  Translations: 162 locales. 65 (±0) locales at 100%. 5 (±0) locales have more than 95%. 4 (±0) locales have more than 90%. 27 (±0) locales have more than 50%. 53 (±0) locales have less than 50%. 8 (±0) locales don’t have a WP project.

  (Values in parentheses indicate change against previous week.)

  Two locales are waiting for system issues to be resolved to release. We’ll have our first Khmer release and the Czech team is waiting to manually release.

  We currently have 15 unresolved editor requests and 9 unresolved locale requests.

  For statistic references, request should be tagged as editor request and the locale, too. (e.g. editor request, nl_NL, en_GB, de_DE)

  Tech update

  We have had technical issues with the servers last week, which now are solved.

  GlotPress

  A new GlotPress version will be released next week, a beta was release Monday. (For more information see https://blog.glotpress.org/2016/09/19/glotpress-2-2-beta-1/)
  The new version includes locale updates like the Latin version of Hausa and will include a fix for translations which are using the placeholder for tab characters (see https://github.com/GlotPress/GlotPress-WP/issues/473).
  translate.wordpress.org still uses an old version because of a pending systems requests. Dominik (@ocean90) hopes to sort that out soon.

  The next release will focus on glossaries, enhanced queries, support for Cross-Locale PTE and maybe JS localization. Milestone: https://github.com/GlotPress/GlotPress-WP/milestone/10

  Team Sites

  The first rollout of team sites will include following sites:

  • https://ar.wordpress.org/team/
  • https://bg.wordpress.org/team/
  • https://br.wordpress.org/team/
  • https://de.wordpress.org/team/
  • https://es.wordpress.org/team/
  • https://fr.wordpress.org/team/
  • https://he.wordpress.org/team/
  • https://it.wordpress.org/team/
  • https://ja.wordpress.org/team/
  • https://nl.wordpress.org/team/
  • https://ru.wordpress.org/team/

  Some highlights:

  • Uses o2
  • Editors from the base site are also editors on the team site
  • Any registered w.org member can post. For unknown users the post is set to pending. (like make/polyglots)
  • Autocomplete for -mentions
  • ToDo module (like make/polyglots)
  • Editors can change theme settings and site title in the customizer

  All existing Editors on the base site are now Locale Managers. They have the same permissions as the previous Editor role and GTE. Locale Manager is now the top access level for a Rosetta site and a locale. Editors now can only edit content on Rosetta sites and GTEs can only approve translations and don’t need to be involved in Rosetta or writing for the community. Locale Managers can do manual releases of translations.

  There are some CSS issues for RTL sites, that will be fixed. Also, if you find any bugs you can report them here or on meta.trac.wordpress.org.

  A page regarding team sites will be added to the Polyglots Handbook.

  The German Polyglots team has an old team blog on wordpress.com. Dominik (@ocean90) will import it’s content to the new site. Dominik also asks Polyglot teams to ping him, if they want content imported, too.

  WordPress theme Twenty Seventeen

  The new WordPress theme Twenty Seventeen, beautifully designed by @melchoyce, has been announced. Mel would like to take into account non latin characters for the font and figure out how to avoid what many of us have experienced with default themes before. There’s an issue opened for this https://github.com/WordPress/twentyseventeen/issues/59#issuecomment-248242861
  Petya (@petya) has listed script families we need to take into consideration. Mel is looking for developers who are also polyglots to help out with that part.

  Global WordPress Translation Day 2

  Petya created an Organizing spreadsheet, which can be accessed via https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1–GaJZFoxCqb6NHBl2QYv4lH3Y6inIGBwr5Ln9SIaic/edit#gid=1512653702
  The spreadsheet outlines many tasks. Take a look and if there’s something you’d like to pick up, please put your name down. We’ll do local/remote events like we did the last time – if you’d like to organize an event, put your name and location down.

  Here are some roles you can take on:

  • Local organizer – organize an event in your city
  • Remote event organizer – take on helping people speaking your language from a remote location in set hours
  • Speaker – do a session about translating WordPress in your language
  • Reaching out to local communities and encouraging them to organise a local event
  • Helping figure out the sessions – what sessions did we have last time, what sessions do we want this time
  • Promo video – you can take on the role of reaching out to people and gathering the videos
  • Promo video production – create the video from the videos everyone sends

  ToDo

  • post about GWTD on make/polyglots announcing to the team and calling for help (@petya) (@petya)

  Tags: request ( 1,276 ), Tigrigna Translation   

  Hello Polyglots,
  It doesn’t appear that there’s a team helping with Tigrinya (the correct spelling of which, by the way, is Tigrigna) translation. So, I would like to signup for the work and to lead a potential team that I would like to help create.

  Thanks.

    Hey @searom,

    Thank you for jumping on board, it would be great to have a GTE for Tigrigna!

    I’ve started the process of creating a site, translation sets and adding you as a translation editor. Could you help me with some information. Here’s what I need:

    • Site title in native language (Should be a translation from WordPress in [language native name]
    • Locale native name

    It would be great if you register on Slack and join the #Polyglots channel (start from http://chat.wordpress.org). We ask all General translation editors to fill out their WordPress profile as well – names, Gravatar, some contact information so other translation contributors can easily get in touch. It would be awesome if you did that while we are working on adding you to the team.

    The locale name needs to be changed in GlotPress so we will also proceed with that.

    I’m really happy to welcome you to the WordPress Polyglots!

    Cheers,
    Petya

    Petya Raykovska 9:26 am on September 26, 2016 Permalink | Log in to Reply

    Hello @searom,

    The Tigrinya locale is now ready for action, the projects are created, as well as the local site and you have been added as a Locale manager. My request from the previous comment about you filling out your profile and getting some more information to us still stands.

    Here are some of the important links for a new General Translation Editor:

    https://tir.wordpress.org/ – your Rosetta site (local site). In our experience a locale thrives when there’s a team behind it. So I would start by setting up the site and adding a page for potential translators to help out.

    The development project is ready for translation at https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/tir/default/wp/dev.

    Alongside WordPress itself, it’s good to prioritise translating the projects that ship with it first – The default themes Twenty Sixteen, Twenty Fifteen, Twenty Fourteen.

    Please get to know how the team works by reading the Translators Handbook – https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/, a good place to start is the General Expectations page.

    As a General Translation Editor for the locale, we request that you fill out your WordPress.org profile, register on Slack and provide means for potential other contributors to reach you if they want to help out.

    We ask that you subscribe for notifications for #tir, you can find the notification subscription settings in your profile settings (https://profiles.wordpress.org/profile/notifications/)

    Our weekly chats are on Slack at 10am UTC every Wednesday, we’d love to have you there if you can make it. Register from http://chat.wordpress.org

    The Polyglots will always be here to help if you have any specific question. Post here on this blog, or in Slack.

    That’s about it!

    Thank you for volunteering to translate WordPress to Tigrinya and happy translating 🙂

    Kind regards,
    Petya
