Hi guys,
All of us here belong to the WordPress translating community and many know how frustrating the translating process is. WordPress has more than 3,300 stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. (+500 for MultiSiteMultisite Multisite is a WordPress feature which allows users to create a network of sites on a single WordPress installation. Available since WordPress version 3.0, Multisite is a continuation of WPMU or WordPress Multiuser project. WordPress MultiUser project was discontinued and its features were included into WordPress core.https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network.), it’s just too much.

I think that the translators community has to be more involved in the development process to reduce the strings ammount and improve it’s quality. WordPress tracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. already have a few interesting ideas like:

Consolidate string with same meaning but different wording (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14039)
Merge similar string (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18218)
Replace/Remove html code entities (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7098#comment:10)

I would like to hear more ideas, based on your experience, how do you think we can improve the translating process and/or reduce the strings ammount? (you can add your trac tickets)

What you are asking is fair, though you should also keep in mind, that updating older stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings., will require new forces to review localizations too. While some teams represent actually one man contributions, this might be an issue.

  Stas, when merging similar stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings., for example, we delete the old stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. without creating new strings because both already have translation. If you check the tracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. ticket i created (#18218) you will find more that 50 of those strings, i need your help to find more similar strings.

    when i say delete, i mean delete from glotpressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org..

+1 on this task, would be nice to put all these ticket ready fro 3.2.X release but not more than 3.3… more we wait more risk there is to have other inconsistencies
- Rami 12:20 pm on July 25, 2011
  
  I prefer 3.2.2
  - Peter Westwood 12:22 pm on July 25, 2011
    
    These are tasks for the major releaseMajor Release A set of releases or versions having the same major version number may be collectively referred to as “X.Y” -- for example version 5.2.x to refer to versions 5.2, 5.2.1, and all other versions in the 5.2. (five dot two dot) branch of that software. Major Releases often are the introduction of new major features and functionality. cycle not the maintenance release cycle so a 3.3 target is more appropriate.
    
    However we should focus on incremental improvements rather than a large review an update of every single stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. as that just causes unecessary code churn.
