Notes from the Polyglots chat on October 7

• 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/ stats
  • We have 156 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/, from which 60 locales are up to date, 1 locale is behind by a minor version and 4 locales are behind by one major version.
  • We have #te behind by a minor version and #cs_CZ, #ky_KY, #oci, #vi behind by one major version.
• MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress.-i18nInternationalization Internationalization (sometimes shortened to I18N , meaning “I - eighteen letters -N”) is the process of planning and implementing products and services so that they can easily be adapted to specific local languages and cultures, a process called localization. This is the process of making software translatable. Information about Internationalization for developers can be found in the Developer’s handbooks.
  • The process of adding 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 and Project Translation Editor got simplified! You no longer need to invite a user before making him 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 and Project Translation Editor – https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2015/10/06/update-you-no-longer-have-to-invite-a/. That’s awesome!
  • General Translation Editors are not opted-in, at this moment, for locale notifications (see #1274). All GTEs should add that notification to their profiles, here’s how.
  • Currently we don’t have a way to easily distinguish General Translation Editors from Project Translation Editors. Having #1234 implemented would be great.
  • When General Translation Editors are not responding to the Plugins/Themes TE requests on 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/./Polyglots, we should wait for two weeks and if there was no answer add the PTEs to locale and pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.”-back the GTEs.
• Theme/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 directories
  • Please make sure that Theme Directory and Plugin Directory are translated. The projects are not auto-deployedDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server, so that it's available to visitors. and you’ll have to request a deployDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server, so that it's available to visitors. for these. The site editors of your locale can send the request.
• Feedback:
  • @luisrull: It would be great to have a solution where we only have to approve requests for Project Translation Editors.
  • @adrianpop: Is it possible to have the Waiting tab at the end, and to have little badges after each tab name with the number of not-100%-completed projects?
