Hello Polyglots, I am the…

Hello Polyglots,

I am the 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 author for ShrinkTheWeb (STW) Website Previews Plugin and WordPress Portfolio Plugin (WP Portfolio). I paid for expert translations and previously requested editor status to approve the imported translations (since OneHourTranslation translators will not translate directly using Polyglots), but it seems that only one language is allowed at-a-time??

I imported Russian, French, and German, for now, and requested to be editor for all three here. However, I was granted only Russian. Now, I have gone many pages deep into this request area and cannot find my original request, so making a new one. 😉

If only one language is allowed at-a-time, please approve French and I’ll come back for German. Otherwise, please approve all three.

If you have any questions, just comment here. Thank you!

A project translation editor can approve strings that are added by translation contributors. Per project translation, editors are appointed by a general translation editor after a request by the project author or by the contributors themselves..

By now, for any locale, you should have different people speaking the locale language.

Cross locale PTE will solve this problem.

Please, be patient, meta team is working on this 🙂

Thank you for the reply.

I paid for these professional translations through OneHourTranslation, and they refuse to access the WP Polyglots area themselves. So, they left it up to me.

Therefore, let me ask you: Is there any way for me to find editors in those languages to ask them (very politely!) if they will approve the translations for my plugins?? I really don’t like the idea of having spent so much on translations and then having to wait an indefinite time to approve them (unless you’re meaning to wait only like a week or so ;))

Please advise.

Best regards,

Brandon

    @wolly @petya I’ve been EXTREMELY patient, but this is past being ridiculous. It should not take several MONTHS to get to a resolution for expensive translations I paid for to be approved, for me to given access to approve each language myself, or to release this promised new multi-lingual access feature.
    
    Please give me some sort of update. I have ceased to invest any further funds into WordPress, pending a resolution on my prior investment –which is currently a complete loss.

      Hello @puravida1976,
      
      I realise waiting for so long must be frustrating, but developing software to back up open sourceOpen Source Open Source denotes software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified. Open Source **must be** delivered via a licensing model, see GPL. software with only volunteers is not a simple or straightforward task. We ask everyone to understand that.
      
      According to the criteria for adding a cross locale project translation editor, please provide the following information:
      
      Source of translation: who were the professional translators you hired to do your translations, where can we see an example of their work?

        I typically buy from OneHourTranslation (https://www.onehourtranslation.com/), as was the case with all of these translations. They are translated by native speakers, and I paid extra for expert review editing. I am confident that the translations are top-notch.

        I volunteer for projects also, so I know how it can be when people are demanding. However, I do not make people wait extremely long times for a response or an update –especially when those people are INVESTING in what I’m working on. I am not being demanding and have been patient. Nothing I said was out of line. That said, I do appreciate the progress update and look forward to being able to contribute my high-quality translations.

Hi @puravida1976

Sorry for the late reply, we’re all volunteers and sometimes are missing notifications 😉

The French translation team will do its best to get your request accepted ASAP. You can have more info how we handle PTE requests.

Can you also ask your translator to get in touch on the French SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. #traductions channel using our direct invitation link.
We have a few recommendations before giving PTEProject Translation Editor A Project Translation Editor (often referred to as PTE) is a person, who has access to validate strings on a specific project (for example BuddyPress, WooCommerce or Twenty Fourteen) for one specific locale.

  Unfortunately, the translators (hired through OneHourTranslation) will not handle any work outside of their system. So, they are no help in this. I will have to be the one to import the translations and then approve them.
  
  Thank you.
