Do you speak all these languages? Or: how were the translations sourced?

Are you sure that you can check translation quality for all those languages?
Its better to find someone who can natively speak that language, who can work on current and future translations.

I understand the questions and concerns, but are we not in the age of machine language (translation) which is equivalent to human translation?

I can translate these languages in the latest technology for you since Google Translate can be error prone, so I will check the conversion using
Amazon Translate;

https://aws.amazon.com/translate/?nc2=h_m1 *

3 of the 4 languages are currently available:
- Arabic ar ar
- Spanish (Spain) es_ES es
- French (France) fr_FR fr
Russian is coming and HIndi was human.

Please advise.

Cheers

Import the language file? Could you expand, you mean the moMO files MO, or Machine Object is a binary data file that contains object data referenced by a program. It is typically used to translate program code, and may be loaded or imported into the GNU gettext program. This is the format used in a WordPress install. These files are normally located inside .../wp-content/languages//po filesPO files PO files are human readable files which contain translations we use. These files are not used by WordPress itself. Each language will have its own PO file, for example, for French there would be a fr_FR.po file, for german there would be a de_DE.po, for British English there might be en_GB.po.? Where should they be imported? The plugins have the languages installed already and are active on the repositoryWordPress Localization Repository The WordPress Localization Repository at https://i18n.svn.wordpress.org/ is a Subversion repository where official WordPress translations are maintained. See Working with the Translation Repository for details.. A bit of human skill combined with Artificial Intelligence was used to get the languages out there.

Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.”
