Brainstorm about Credits for Translation Contributors on plugins/themes directory
It was discussed if and how users who contribute to translations should be credited. Currently translators are only listed on subpages of translate.wordpress.org The platform for contributing to the translation of WordPress core, themes and plugins., but this information is rather hard to find.
We would like to get your comments on following question:
Should translation contributors get credits in plugins/themes directory?

Polyglots are kindly asked to check the feature plugin Shiny Updates regarding functionality (not translation) and give feedback on issues (e.g. https://github.com/obenland/shiny-updates/issues/99) #feature-shinyupdates
