  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!

    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!

  Hello Polyglots!

  I’m the author of the plugins Extended Evaluation for Statify (https://wordpress.org/plugins/extended-evaluation-for-statify/) and Posts and Users Stats (https://wordpress.org/plugins/posts-and-users-stats/). From my users (who aren’t wordpress.org users) I got translations which I have already suggested as translations for English, French and Spanish in the existing locales:

  #en_CA
  #en_ZA
  #fr_BE
  #fr_CA
  #fr_FR
  #es_AR
  #es_CL
  #es_CO
  #es_GT
  #es_MX
  #es_PE
  #es_ES
  #es_VE

  As I don’t speak French and only a little Spanish I cannot apply as a PTE for those locales. Can the GTEs for those languages approve those translations (or reject/correct them if they don’t fit well).

    Hi @patrickrobrecht Same constat for the fr_FR, everything is now rejected or validated. Your translators are welcome to join our team as well.

    @casierpa You can check it for fr_FR thanks

  Hi Polyglots,
  i would like to know, what is the future of language support in WordPress. WP is probably the only and last modern CMS, that do not support multiple languages by default – i mean posts and taxonomies, not just some string translation.
  There are several plugins – WPML, Polylang … one worse then the other, adding too much complexity and destroying compatibility with many plugins, themes, rest api etc. as there is no standard how to do it properly. (and of course also the price of some plugins is blocker for many usages).
  For me this is the main and biggest problem for WP, the only reason, why i am always wondering, if i would use for my next project WP, or something, where multilanguage is supported by default.
  I think, that the problem is us – we do not cry enough and let the problem grow with every version – we should push the core decisions makers to make it a key differenciation for next major wordpress version.
  I know, that the transition will “hurt” and also WPML, Plogylot … teams would not be happy but i believe, that they will still find a way, how to offer some advantages and that they would migrate to the new standardised schema.
  So if you agree – how to raise our voice and push this to happen?

    Every new version of WordPress open a debate about new functionality to add to the core.

    There is no need to raise our voice.

    You can propose the add of the support and then, the community, wil decide what to do.

    It has bell proposed many times, but always rejected by the 80/20 rule.

    It’s plugin territory, by now.

    thomask 11:09 am on September 29, 2016 Permalink | Log in to Reply

    The problem is, that there are some decisions, that are not about current community preferences but more about possible future growth and some master decision. Of course that 90 % of current community would not vote for this functionality, because
    a) they simply do not need MU at all because they have single language web
    b) they do need multilanguage, but that was the reason, why they are NOT using WP, because it sucks
    c) they are hacking wordpress via plugins and do not understand the problems it takes, because they are too complex for average community user, or simply resignates becase they need it and do not want to use other CMS
    So of course they would vote for some small changes, that would help their current needs. But you know – Ford also didn’t want to bring customers just faster horses.

    Krzysztof Trynkiewicz (Sukces Strony) 12:05 pm on September 29, 2016 Permalink | Log in to Reply

    I agree with Thomas. The development of WP went into not essential stuff like shiny updates, while lacking on multilang. It’s a very hard topic to handle, but I think we’re there. I’ve seen some co-op by WP devs with WPML and Polylang authors, not sure where it’s going. I agree that a single point of asking to push this issue forward is necessary. If anyone has a link, please post it.
    While on it, WPML is OK-ish for the task. Not coded very well and buggy, but does the job more often than not.

    thomask 2:18 pm on September 29, 2016 Permalink | Log in to Reply

    At least it would be great, if WordPress core dev would finaly make a final statement and decision, what will be the proper way of multilang, from the WP future perspective. Should it be extra columns in tables? Should it be extra tables? Should it be special values in some columns in existing tables? And then let the current plugin authors migrate to the new structure, or keep their structure, but risk, that e.g. in a year when there will finaly be in-core multilang support, they would have have to do all the rewrites in a hurry or die.

    Wolly aka Paolo Valenti 8:30 am on September 30, 2016 Permalink | Log in to Reply

    I agree with you all, I’d like to have multilanguage in core, but there is the rule 80/20, that it means new functionality are added only if they are needed by 80% of WP users.

    Anyway, this is not the right place to discuss about that. Write the post in make/core

  Notes from the Polyglots chat on September, 28th 

  Locale Stats

  (Values in parentheses indicate change against previous week.)

  We currently have 8 unresolved editor requests and 9 unresolved locale requests.

  Tech Updates

  After setting up some first team sites with the O2-theme, Dominik (@ocean90) asks for feedback. One suggestion was to also announce the new team site locally so that everyone is aware it may officially be used. Please feel free to add more feedback in the comments.

  The team sites don’t allow to run separate team pages. Users are encouraged to tag posts to makes it easier to distinguish teams.

  Request for feedback on GlotPress shortcuts

  Members of the Polyglots Team are kindly asked, to briefly give a feedback regarding Shortcuts for copying original strings in GlotPress, see GitHub issue https://github.com/GlotPress/GlotPress-WP/issues/554 .

  Receiving contributions for translations

  In the past couple of weeks several people asked Petya (@petya) if it’s ok to get paid to translate a plugin or a theme. She clarifies, that translating WordPress, including the free plugins and themes, is a contribution. There are a lot of people who get sponsored to contribute on the project, some people having all of their time covered. If someone would like to sponsor your time to work on a plugin or a theme, that’s perfectly ok. Refusing to translate the core software unless your time is covered would not be great, but also understandable. Not acceptable would be, if a General Translation Editor would refuse to work on a project unless sponsored while at the same time standing in the way of volunteers who would like to translate.

  Global WordPress Translation Day 2 (November 12th) – video, website, official announcement, content, local events

  So far six events already are planned for the 2nd Global WordPress Translation Day. (For more details see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1--GaJZFoxCqb6NHBl2QYv4lH3Y6inIGBwr5Ln9SIaic/edit#gid=695788145).

  If you are organising an event, please add it to the spreadsheet. New events will go into this map: https://drive.google.com/open?id=12Gni4JMfShyWHPqGNwh5-PMneMM&usp=sharing

  Our website for the event will be again https://wptranslationday.org/. If anyone would like to help us out with the website, they should raise their hand – we’ll need content management and some tweaks here and there.

  We also have our CrowdCast event set up and you can sign up. https://www.crowdcast.io/e/gwtd2

  An official announcement for Global WordPress Translation Day 2 is planned for this week. It would be nice to see the announcement find its way to as many Rosetta sites as possible.

  Reviving the Asia Pacific meeting

  Petya (@petya) talked to Naoko (@nao) about reviving the Asia Pacific weekly Polyglots meeting. Meetings are scheduled for Wednesday, 6am UTC. The next meeting will also be announced via local Slack channels and with an extra post on the Polyglots blog.

  Open Discussion

  The question came up, how we deal with translations of Child Themes, if the Parent theme has been removed from the WordPress directory. As the theme still may be available through other sources, there are no reasons not to translate their Child Themes. It was considered to add a ticket on Trac for further discussion, if some information about should be displayed on translate.wordpress.org that contributors deal with a child theme.

    Hi Luis,

    no i am not a native spanish speaker but a friend of mine. He translate it for me(he is the second “author” of my plugin) and i hope he will have the time to be the editor here:)

    • #es_ES – @wpverwalter

    And one other language for me:

    • #de_DE/formal – @harry-milatz (@pixolin)

    What are with other languages like polish #pl_PL and portugeese #pt_PT for the moment, where the people who translate it are not involved with WordPress, that colleagues from work. I have 150 colleagues with different languages and some want to help to translate. How can i manage this?

    I guess if there is no editor the suggested translations will have the status waiting until i am trying here to add an editor?

    Best regards,

  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!
