We started filling out data about locale status during the releases to get a history of how things progressed as far back as we can. To give a hand with filling out the data, please ask for access to the spreadsheet.

Tech update

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 appear on the site? (Automatically pushed every 24 hours, at 1pm UTC)
    • Why are my translations still ‘waiting’?
    • Why my translations were rejected? What can I do in that case?
    • I have translations in po/mo filesMO files MO, or Machine Object is a binary data file that contains object data referenced by a program. It is typically used to translate program code, and may be loaded or imported into the GNU gettext program. This is the format used in a WordPress install. These files are normally located inside .../wp-content/languages/, how can I import them in translate.wordpress.orgtranslate.wordpress.org The platform for contributing to the translation of WordPress core, themes and plugins.?
    • How long does it take for a new plugin/theme to get added to translate.wordpress.org?
    • Why can’t I be a GTEGeneral Translation Editor A General Translation Editor (often referred to as GTE) is a person, who has global access to validate strings on all projects for a specific locale. for all languages for my plugin/theme?
    • I’m getting a lot of “502 Bad Gateway”. What can I do?
    • Other FAQs? Add them in the comments

Open discussion

  • Support Team mentioned that Codex will be retired and translations will get lost. We need to collect more information here.
  • Organizing WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. Europe, there is a chance @petya won’t be around at the weekly meetings for the next weeks. It is important to keep the meetings going. @chantalc, @deconf, @wolly, @tacoverdo, @pixolin and @coachbirgit will take care of organizing the meetings.

Thank you to everyone who participated! Please leave comments if you have anything else to add to the notes.

Love,

Petya
