I mean, it’s a simple request, but it looks like it was lost. All my translators (French, German, Japanese…) are losing hope. It should really be made easier, for the sake of WordPress, and for us to spend more time on what matters: the code, the support. It’s not against you, as you are actually the only one who helped 🙂 So thank you. But really wish we could“ work”. - ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/890bd890338f9b6a17143a65ac10a20410e135583d95106bb09f20d91f66afe2? s=32&d=mm&r=g) - [Tor-Bjorn Fjellner](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tobifjellner/) 5:54 am _on_ May 16, 2019 - The requests are handled by each language team.
