Hello,
I went quickly through the waiting stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. and they need improvement.
Even the original strings, example:
allowed by roll (role), this has also been translated into a non existing german word roll.
You will need to find a native german speaker to correct those.

  Hi Presskopp,
  
  I have translated 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 into German (development trunk) and I am a little bit confused. I did not find the text allowed by role at any point.
  
  Furthermore, I translated everything and now it seems that there are a lot of things to translate. Are they rejected by you? Is there a possibility to see why they are rejected?
  
  Kind Regards
  Sascha

    Hi @presskopp
    I have corrected those typos, also finding more typos if any.
    Also #de_de translation contributorTranslation 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. @saschamzh is here, You can ask him any question if you have about that translation.
    
    Regards

    Yes, I rejected some as examples. You find the quoted stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. here, btw:

    Until now we can’t give feedback when rejecting, see:
    https://github.com/GlotPress/GlotPress-WP/issues/324
    
    But if you compare to the Style Guide you will understand the reasons for rejecting:

Done for fa_IR.
- Shamim Hasan 1:24 pm on September 28, 2017
  
  Hi @gonahkar
  Thank you. Did you add that translator contributor as translator editor? I do not know if he is a native in #fa_ir also his profile is not showing much information about him. It will be better to remove him as translator editor and find a editor for your local.
  
  Thanks again.
saschamzh 1:05 pm on September 28, 2017

Hi, I reviewed all my changes for de_DE with the glossary and style guide in mind.
I have only six translation left.

Please review my changes again.

Kind Regards
Sascha

  Thank you @saschamzh
  I think @presskopp will moderate your new translation for #de_de shortly.
  Also you can address anyone by adding @ before his username and # before any 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.

I’m sorry, I still find lots of errors in the translations, also missing punctuation or bad upper/lower case. Example:
Unread ungelesen (Ungelesen)
Read lesen (Gelesen)
Download %s %s Heruntergeladen (%s herunterladen)
In your own interest please review the translations, There are lots of rules in the style guide and hard to memorize, but it’s our rules. In order to become a 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. 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. this needs to be better quality.
Again, please join us on 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/. so we can communicate directly – thank you.
