You can get in touch with us joining the **#traductores-plugins channel** in the [Spanish Community Slack](https://es.wordpress.org/2016/10/02/slack-wordpress-espana/). Also remember to take a look at our [Guía de traductores](https://es.wordpress.org/colabora/traducciones/guia-de-traductores/) where we describe the best practices and recommendations for creating a perfect localizationLocalization Localization (sometimes shortened to "**l10n**") is the process of adapting a product or service to a particular language, culture, and desired local "look-and-feel." for plugins and themes. 6. On a personal note, I find it a total lack of respect to the work of the 18 volunteer translators who have contributed their time and work to translating Dokan and and the 21 to WP User Frontend, to submit an automated translation without even having read the 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.

Actually, we have received all the translations from a third party who did this for us. It is very difficult for me to understand if the translator did the automatic translation. * However, I will ask the translator to follow all the instruction for perfect localizations. - ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/890bd890338f9b6a17143a65ac10a20410e135583d95106bb09f20d91f66afe2? s=32&d=mm&r=g) - [Tor-Bjorn Fjellner](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tobifjellner/) 10:19 am _on_ January 23, 2019 - Actually, a much better approach is to ask the person who actually DID the translation to upload it. This way, the relevant team can give feedback to the user and mutual learning/improvement occurs. - I’ll mark this request as finished for now. I guess you now understand why we believe that validation of translations should be done by someone who knows the target language well (and is aware of style guide and agreed terminology in the glossary). ### Leave a Reply 󠀁[Cancel reply](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2019/01/23/pte-request-for-dokan-lite-and/?output_format=md#respond)󠁿 You must be [logged in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fpolyglots%2F2019%2F01%2F23%2Fpte-request-for-dokan-lite-and%2F&locale=en_US) to post a comment. # Post navigation [← Global WordPress Translation Day 4 – Call for Organizers](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2019/01/23/global-wordpress-translation-day-4-call-for-organizers/) [#pte request Hello Polyglots, I… →](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2019/01/23/pte-request-hello-polyglots-i-2/)
