Here’s the proposed agenda: **What happened last week and why** There were a series of bugs in GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers [Translate.WordPress.org](http://translate.wordpress.org). More information is available at [glotpress.org](http://glotpress.org/). due to some temporary changes in the database connection code on 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/](https://wordpress.org/). We ended up with a lot of empty stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. values instead of NULLs for columns like `context` and `plural`. GlotPress expected `null` specifically in few places in the codebase. The specific consequences were duplicate originals, few incorrectly updated originals, and extra PO file fields for some stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. (context and plural). The duplicated originals were removed, the team made sure that we no longer allow duplicates. We also made the translations of incorrectly updated originals fuzzy, so that translators could verify the translations were right. Today we fixed PO exports. So a few things worth mentioning: * Kudos to everyone who reported, tested and participated in isolating and fixing the issues. Team work! * If your language is missing strings, please rebuild and rerelease. This will make sure the users who update from now on will get the proper translation files.

What happened: * We have a lot of people who stepped up to help: [@japh](https://profiles.wordpress.org/japh/), [@CoachBirgit](https://profiles.wordpress.org/CoachBirgit/), [@ocean90](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ocean90/), [@miyauchi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/miyauchi/), [@eathanasiadis](https://profiles.wordpress.org/eathanasiadis/). * Next steps: The technical crew should hang out on 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](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/)/. and on SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/).

The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/) channel: The incomplete packages don’t have to be not 100%. The 99% packages can be fine too. I checked Serbian and everything looked fine to me so unsure why it isn’t 100%. And I’m sure other packages have the same. 4. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b518a5cf86a31ce1c2a64870b6e15a1e63e9827afc75f8fc12f7095d0cce7fb4? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 5.

For me it doesn’t make much sense if I still do the same (what in general a technical lead can do) without the benefit of more permissions. It comes then down to a nice title with more responsibilities. 7. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2e500695efc100122c68bdedb244ece6b4c0a5e9644c2a1f684bcc4f0bde46eb? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 8.
