Legal consequences while translating
- What if a translation contributor Translation Contributors (formerly known as Translators) are volunteers that focus on translating projects into their language. They contribute to improving their language either in a small way, like fixing a typo, or a large way, likes translating entire projects. finds some legal critical phrases in a theme or plugin 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?
- Who is legally responsible for statements and texts in themes and plugins that are legally dubious? – developer, translation 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 or translation contributor?
Some thoughts here:
- Plugin authors should be notified when there’s an issue with their strings in a particular country – that can be done in the plugin forum on .org
- In case there’s no response and you decide to change a string A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. to avoid a local legal probem, make sure you have communicated that publicly in the same thread where you originally notified the plugin author about the problem and notified the author in what way the translation changed the original string.
