Updates on existing l10nLocalization Localization (sometimes shortened to "l10n") is the process of adapting a product or service to a particular language, culture, and desired local "look-and-feel."

Looking at the current status, localesLocale 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/ at 100%, 6 behind by one major version and 16 behind by two or more. (Note: This was last week before the release of 4.0.1, numbers on locales are different right now)

6 locales behind by one major version

The 6 are, Macedonian, Norwegian, Spanish (Mexico), Tamil (Sri Lanka), Vietnamese.

It would be a great help if anyone help contact vaildators of these languages, for there are more languages we could ask if help or anything needed.

Here’s some updates since the slack chat meeting:

Macadonian: contacted by @petya and said will finish until end of the (last) week. And it is 🙂
Norwegian: contacted by @petya
Spanish (Mexico): contacted by @catiakitahara
Tamil (Sri Lanka): contacted by @ShinichiN and replied by @bagerathan. He will begin working on translation in December. 4.1 at that time.
Tagalog: contacted by @ShinichiN
Vietnamese: @philip says he and @rilwis will work on it on slack.

16 locales are behind more than 1

de-ch: @CoachBirgit will contact.
ka, bel, lv, af: @petya will but any help from those who know validatorValidator See translation editor. personally, will be very nice.
Other 11 locales, no one is still assigned yet for.

New locales

Lingala and Oriya will join, welcome new validators @YannixK and @subharanjan to the WordPress Polyglots family!

StringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. for 4.1 and Twenty Fifteen

@Petya is going to try to have the date until next meeting when the strings for 4.1 and 2015 will be ready to translate. Also will see if validators still need to package the WP manually, or it will be auto-generated when a project is 100% translated.

Version 4.1 Project Schedule « Make WordPress Core

Updating screenshots on 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. sites

It would be great if everyone updated their local sites’ screenshots

Contact the Polyglot team on slack or the P2p2 "p2" is the name of the theme that blogs at make.wordpress.org use (and o2 is the accompanying plugin). When asked to post something "on the p2" by a member of the Polyglots team, that usually means you're asked to post on the team blog https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/. if you have difficulties doing so and we’ll help

“The right place to talk in each languages. @shinichin brought the concern about the place talks and discussions should happen in local/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/ community. They shouldn’t be fragmented but we don’t have the right place right now. Anyway, we need to wait until we see the right place, how slackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. usage will grow and what people in other languages/roles need.”

for it_IT we have create a slack and, by now, we have 22 people speaking italian and we hope to find someone else to help translating especially new themes and pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party and some others project.

  @Wolly, nice to hear about it_IT slackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. place. Please check this slack archive too.

  Something similar is happening in Japan. I’ve shared to the Japanese community to wait making it kind of official until announcement comes up, though. 45 people are there but it’s not everyday talk. I think it’s good to take time before making decision. Makes sense to wait for me.
  - Wolly 3:38 pm on November 24, 2014
    
    We use it, by now, for many things, all italian community related. We’ll go to the new official, for translation, when ready 🙂 I think that local slackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. can be a great opportunity for the projects. By the way I’m suggesting everybody to subscribe to the official slack too.

in the second meeting, Thank you for mention about promotion for Asian polyglots, Shin!

In general Asian people like helping Asian countries each other. We don’t have any specific topic now but in a future I’m happy if we could have more Asian people in this make blog & Asian/pacific slackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. meeting! And I guess they just don’t know we started the regular meeting for Asian countries.

Knowing polyglots in Asia is also nice to ask them to organize WC or meetups. (It’s not community team task, I just did it whenever I traveled to Asian countries.)

And I’ll try to attend Wednesday’s meeting next time. It’s also comfortable time for me and seems many people in our area attend both!
