Hi @michael-travan

As a quick one-time solution, you might simply upload it via https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/newsletter/stable/fr/default and then ask the 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.’s (General Translation EditorGeneral 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 #fr_FR to validate it.

However, there are already a lot of waiting stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. for this project, so I’d say it’s better to NOT upload even more strings right now, since that might actually slow down the validation.

Instead, I’d suggest that you ask this user if they’d be interested in becoming an appointed 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.

If they still haven’t uploaded their translation, then they should do it themselves, and then you could request (here) that one of the French GTE’s check the quality and, if all is OK, appoint them as PTE.
After that, they’ll be able themselves to approve suggested strings (including their own) and edit, maintain the translation.

  However, I’ve updated your request above with a line about #fr_FR
  I think that one of the 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.’s for French, perhaps @fxbenard will get around shortly and give further advice.
