Translator Credits

The WordPress Credits page (wp-admin/credits.php, new in 3.2) shows the list of translators for the active localeLocale Locale = language version, often a combination of a language code and a region code, for instance es_MX denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico. A list of all locales supported by WordPress in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/. There are a few things you need to know:

There is a stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. “Translators” with the context of “Translate this to be the equivalent of ‘English Translators’ in your language for the credits page Translators section”. Please do as requested.
The names are pulled dynamically from GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org..

Thank you!

There are translators who are the only one working on their language and who use SVNSVN Apache Subversion (often abbreviated SVN, after its command name svn) is a software versioning and revision control system.

But even GP thing doesn’t work perfect, I import PO filesPO files PO files are human readable files which contain translations we use. These files are not used by WordPress itself. Each language will have its own PO file, for example, for French there would be a fr_FR.po file, for german there would be a de_DE.po, for British English there might be en_GB.po. in it (which means stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software.

And one bug: if there are no translators, there shouldn’t be ‘translators’ slug in 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. response (as in en_US) since there will be errors “Warning: array_walk() [function.array-walk]: The argument should be an array in wp-admin/credits.php on line 100” and “Warning: shuffle() expects parameter 1 to be array, string given in wp-admin/credits.php on line 101”

    Every language is on GP and anyone can submit translations. But that doesn’t mean that there will be community around that translation project. Many languages are small and one can’t except that in all of them there will be many people working on it since translating WP nowadays requires a lot of work and knowledge.

  Now thát is a cool feature. I just checked to see what that looks like, but I think a seperation between a list of Validators follewed by contributors would look even better. I don’t how this is with other languages, but in our case the validators do the bulk of the work …
  - Andrew Nacin 1:10 am on May 26, 2011
    
    Thought about that, but I’m not sure if it’s necessary. Not to discount the work of the validators, but our contributors are all listed together, whether they’ve submitted a single patch to fix a typo, or dozens of major code contributions.

      Have you seen the rest of the responses regarding this topic? What are your thoughts on that now?

        The current RC2 still doesn’t show the translators properly on the credit page ..
Remkus 1:16 am on May 26, 2011

Necessary is a big word, but greatly appreciated, yes! Having the validators in plain sight would also help in making that person / team more visible to the dedicated user group and isnt’t that what the credits page is all about?

  And one thing is all names in contributors list and translators list are very close to each other. It is not looking good and difficult to see clearly. Should be some space in each name.

  +1, will make it easier to spot who’s responsible for releases as well (I’d guess)
