  Hello Kevin,
  
  that was right in older versions. Actually in 3.5.x are only users with validatorValidator See translation editor. rights listed. In 3.6 RC2 too.
  
  This is strange, because I don´t want to open every stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. in GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org. to look, who was the translator 😉
  
  Since opening GlotPress for all wp.org Users, it ist possible to have more than 20 Translators or more.
  
  Perhaps I am blockhead and couldn´t find the solution in easy way 😉

On the other hand, we are only a couple of translators fro fr_FR in order to keep it tight, and GP users are listed in the About page even though their stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. are marked as “Old” — and are often of poor quality (sometimes even gibberish).

How can I stop them from being listed? Currently I have to filterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks. They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and output. strings by username, validate their old strings in order to have them under my own name, then re-upload my .po file in order to override their now-validated strings. And there are some usernames that don’t even seem to have strings… Is there an easier way?

  Unless I don’t understand you correct, but what I do in such cases is edit the stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. and hit the add translation button and that registers it as mine. No uploading necessary.
  - Xavier Borderie 9:50 am on July 31, 2013
    
    Yep, that’s what I do: click “Add translation” on stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. that aren’t mine.
    Uploading my .po file afterwards turns them back to the previous username.
    
    I uploaded the file in order to overwrite bad strings that I clicked “Add translation” to without correcting the translation, but it seems that’s not enough.
    
    And there are still username I can’t find strings for.
    
    GP can be tricky at times 🙂

      Indeed it can be 😉

    Still, it baffles me a bit that authors of stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. marked as Old (and Rejected also?) are present in the translation credits.
    
    And I can’t just click “add a translation” on a bad stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings., so I have to edit all these. Erf.
  - Xavier Borderie 12:26 pm on July 31, 2013
    
    OK, further testing gave this: clicking “Add translation”, whether I edit the stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. or not, does not change anything, as when I search for that username again, the same stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. (in their unedited state) get listed.
    
    There is something fishy in there.

  I will see what I can do to fix this.
