Anyone with an account at WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users.

[https://wordpress.org/](https://wordpress.org/) may suggest translations. In order to ensure good quality and consistent translations, these suggestions need to be approved by a translation editorTranslation 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](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2017/10/08/hi-how-do-i-proceed/?output_format=md#general-translation-editor) and [Project Translation Editor](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2017/10/08/hi-how-do-i-proceed/?output_format=md#project-translation-editor).( If a translation editor enters a translation, then it’s automatically approved.) 4.
