The existing group has been created back in 2011, however, up to now they (consisting of 7 members) have translated 5% of the stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings., and the translationquality is mostly awful. Only today I have added the translations for 560 strings in 4.2.x language file but then decided to stop and ask – what if they will approve my work in the same way they do their own translations? In such case I would highly appreciate to become a moderator to have the translation ready ASAP.

As I said before, I understand your enthusiasm and your eagerness to help with the Armenian translations. 58. I can assure you your efforts are highly appreciated and the team would love to have Armenian at 100% and supported from this moment forward. However, before adding you as an editor, with everything you’ve said in the conversation so far, I feel like I need to make a couple of things clear: 59. * By becoming a Translation editorTranslation Editor Translation editors can approve translations for projects. The GTE (General Translation Editor) and LM (Locale Manager) roles can add new users with the "Project Translation Editor" role that can approve translations for specific projects. There are two different Translation Editor roles: [General Translation Editor](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2015/07/10/wondering-about-armenian-translation-implwmwntation-the-existing-group/?output_format=md#general-translation-editor) and [Project Translation Editor](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2015/07/10/wondering-about-armenian-translation-implwmwntation-the-existing-group/?output_format=md#project-translation-editor), you become a part of a team where every member’s opinion should be as valid and respected as yours. Translating WordPress is a community effort and the more members a team has, the better for the project. * In the Polyglots teamPolyglots Team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front- facing marketing copy. [https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/) we appreciate patience and have the highest respect for volunteer work – that means we don’t judge or get angry at people that they’ve taken a bit more time than we expect to perform a task as every team consists of volunteers just like yourself. * Please consider that the people you talk to or request things from might be in a different timezone – the Polyglots team takes care of 150 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/](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/)– that’s 4000 translators and more than 350 translation editorsTranslation Editor Translation editors can approve translations for projects.

The pending translations for the development project come from at least 5 different translation contributors, meaning there is a lot of interest to translate Armenian. This is great! It means even though the translation editors have been inactive for a while, there are a lot of people interested in translating. 62. Now that they have you and [@progmastery](https://profiles.wordpress.org/progmastery/), their future contributions won’t be in vain. 63. Even if you plan to upload a new version of the translations now, in the future, the recommendation would be to try and validate the translations suggested so that you can keep people coming back to help out and grow the team. 64. I am adding you and [@progmastery](https://profiles.wordpress.org/progmastery/) to the team now (It’s Monday morning, 9am where I am). You should receive an invite with a confirmation link shortly. 65. Thank you for your persistence and hard work. And thanks for your patience in the future. 66. Welcome to the team 🙂 67.

I agree with the statement that the translation should be perfomed by taking into account other contributors’ suggestions, however there must be a single person to decide if the suggestion is better than the original (if any) or not( especially if it is done for fixing a typo), otherwise we should get terminology and writing style inconsistencies which will be very hard to reveal and fix later. 72. Hope I could make it a bit more clear from my point of view 🙂 73. Thank you for all your support and best regards, 74.

[Petya Raykovska](https://profiles.wordpress.org/petya/) 7:34 am _on_ July 27, 2015 82. Hey Andrey, 83. I understand your point of view completely, I am a translation editorTranslation Editor Translation editors can approve translations for projects. The GTE (General Translation Editor) and LM (Locale Manager) roles can add new users with the " Project Translation Editor" role that can approve translations for specific projects. There are two different Translation Editor roles: [General Translation Editor](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2015/07/10/wondering-about-armenian-translation-implwmwntation-the-existing-group/?output_format=md#general-translation-editor) and [Project Translation Editor](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2015/07/10/wondering-about-armenian-translation-implwmwntation-the-existing-group/?output_format=md#project-translation-editor) myself. Consistency is important, but what’s also important is for a team to work together and nurture new contributors. That means that there shouldn’t be one single person deciding on translations – we’re not talking about typos here, of course those should be corrected. I’m talking about discussions within the team, that you will be making with other translation editorsTranslation Editor Translation editors can approve translations for projects. The GTE (General Translation Editor) and LM (Locale Manager) roles can add new users with the "Project Translation Editor" role that can approve translations for specific projects. There are two different Translation Editor roles: [General Translation Editor](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2015/07/10/wondering-about-armenian-translation-implwmwntation-the-existing-group/?output_format=md#general-translation-editor) and [Project Translation Editor](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2015/07/10/wondering-about-armenian-translation-implwmwntation-the-existing-group/?output_format=md#project-translation-editor). 84. That means that if you and [@progmastery](https://profiles.wordpress.org/progmastery/), for example, don’t agree about a term, as you’re both translation editors, his opinion is as valid as yours. In case you don’t agree on how something should be translated, I would suggest seeking the opinion of a third party, consulting with a dictionary, looking for what other popular or FOSS projects translated into the language are doing with that term. You can also ask here or in the Polyglots channel 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/) about what translation teams are doing with a specific term. 85. Languages are elusive and always changing, always evolving. That’s what makes them fascinating, especially in terms of translating software, where so many more things need to be taken into account. How a 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/](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/) is translated is very much the vision of the translation editors about how the software addresses the user. If you and [@progmastery](https://profiles.wordpress.org/progmastery/) agree on that vision about Armenian, that would be great. 86. To help translators further, I strongly suggest you start out by creating a glossary for common terms – it will help future contributors be clear about how a specific term is translated. Glossaries are highly appreciated by all translators and working on one gives a translation team peace of mind that they’ve set proper guidelines for everyone who wishes to translate. 87. It’s super exciting to talk to someone who sounds so devoted and enthusiastic about translations. Happy to have you on the team 🙂 88. Cheers!

However it seems only .csv files can be imported there. While existing translations cannot be exported in .csv format. This creates some inconveniences. Of course we can convert .po or .xml into .csv. Or we can manually add the most important and used terms into glossary manually.
