So regarding this and RosettaRosetta The code name of the theme for the local WordPress sites (eg. bg.wordpress.org is a “Rosetta” site). All locale specific WordPress sites are referred to as “Rosetta sites.” The name was inspired from the ancient Rosetta Stone, which contained more or less the same text in three different languages.. We’ve moved the rosetta.pot filePOT file POT files are the template files for PO files. They will have all the translation strings left empty. A POT file is essentially an empty PO file without the translations, with just the original strings. (which contains the additional stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. for all xx.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ sites) to GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org., right here.

A few notes:

  • You do not need to use svn for rosetta anymore
  • A deployDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server, so that it's available to visitors. request is still necessary, it’s not automated
  • Given the above, please keep the pace of deploy requests, more or less the same as up to now (i.e. do not repeatedly translate one or two strings and request tens of deploys a day. The SVNSVN Apache Subversion (often abbreviated SVN, after its command name svn) is a software versioning and revision control system. Software developers use Subversion to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation. Its goal is to be a mostly compatible successor to the widely used Concurrent Versions System (CVS). WordPress core and the wordpress.org released code are all centrally managed through SVN. https://subversion.apache.org/. servers don’t like it, the deploy system doesn’t like it and I don’t like it, either 😛 )
  • If permissions to validate are wonky, please request a fix here. Please start a new thread, I beg of you…
  • Feel free to import your existing rosetta-xx_XX files into GlotPress at anytime. If there are no changes, a deploy request isn’t necessary.

Props to @nbachiyski for all the help.
