Hi @athemeart
The first time a user posts in this blog, it’s moderated. I’ve archived your three other posts. Please post again if something I put away would still be needed.

A couple of things to keep in mind:
- All translation efforts are done by volunteers. Best suited (and most interested) to translate your themes and plugins would your real users be. Consider a (dismissable) notice on your settings page where you ask if your user would be interested in helping with translations.
- 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. (Global Translation EditorsTranslation 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:

Therefore: ask for PTE role for yourselves only where you DO know the language well.
- Also bear in mind that many language teams ask PTE’s to join their local 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/. teams, for mutual support and feedback purposes. It’s better to appoint “real users” for an editor role, rather than an anonymous company account.
- If you do use professional translators, then you might read about and apply for a Cross-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.
