Agenda: Weekly Polyglots Chat – June 12, 2019

Here’s the agenda for the chats this week. If you have anything you’d like to add, please leave a comment.

I’ve got one piece of feedback about CL-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.’s:
Now that the number of CL-PTE’s has started to grow, it would be good to have an easy way to find them (and their projects). It should be quite straightforward, so I’ve requested this in a metaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. ticket https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4506

  This should be made extensive to PTEs, they don’t have a way to tell all the projects they manage

@nilovelez Good idea.
I’m thinking that the projects of each 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 list of all locales supported by WordPress in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/ with many PTE’s. So perhaps one more view would be needed. One approach could be to add another tab (in addition to “Activity”, “Themes”, “Plugins”, “Favorites”) in the individual page on profiles.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/. But that would be a different metaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group.

  I was thinking of something more “private”, but yes I think it makes perfect sense to have that information on the user’s public profile.
- Nilo Velez 11:40 am on June 12, 2019
  
  I’ll thow a mockup this afternoon with the information we need and raise the ticket

  I was going to comment on the tracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. ticket but let me post this here first.

  I think the list page should be very simple (just their display name/GravatarGravatar Is an acronym for Globally Recognized Avatar. It is the avatar system managed by WordPress.com, and used within the WordPress software. https://gravatar.com/./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/./link to profile).
  
  In addition, I’d like to see:
  1. New FilterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks. They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and output.: On https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/XX/, add a filter (visible to everyone) “CLPTECross-locale Project Translation Editor A Cross-Locale Project Translation Editor is an account owned by a plugin or theme author (or the authoring organization), which uses professional translators to localize their product. The cross-locale project translation editor can import/validate strings on a specific project for more than one locale. This role has the same capabilities as a Project Translation Editor over multiple locales instead of one. Cross-Locale Project Translation Editors need to meet a set of criteria before being appointed by General Translation Editors. assigned” to list all projects with a CLPTE.
  2. New Profile Tab: On https://profiles.wordpress.org/USERNAME/ , add a tab that says “Translations” under Activity/Plugins/Themes, above Favorites. With this, GTEs and PTEs should also have their assigned projects/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. A list of all locales supported by WordPress in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/ listed here.
  With 1, GTEs can check the progress of each project with a familiar screen.
  2 is also beneficial for all *TEs. They can easily access & display their contribution status.
  
  I know I’m requesting 3 things instead of one but the new profile tab is needed not only for CLPTE.

  @tobifjellner @nilovelez
  What do you think?
  - Tor-Bjorn Fjellner 6:13 am on June 13, 2019
    
    @nao I think those are great suggestions.
    Just thinking whether this would be better on the profile page or on a new, translation-centric one, since there may be a lot of information for active people. (Plus: I’m not sure if the code for the profile page has been publicly released yet.)
    - Naoko Takano 8:44 am on June 13, 2019
      
      Ok I’m going to add my suggestion to the ticket.

Project status update: Setting a clearer guideline for dealing with inactive translations

We have a handbook article here but we want to go in depth with the translation review process.

New project call for volunteers: Reorganizing handbook docs

A good step forward in clarifying a part of our handbook docs > https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/
There’s a good amount of content, but we need to something – like break things up or create an index
The method is still undecided. If anyone would like to join this effort, leave a comment on this post.
We can create an index with links for different types of user (new/prospective PTE, GTE, CLPTECross-locale Project Translation Editor A Cross-Locale Project Translation Editor is an account owned by a plugin or theme author (or the authoring organization), which uses professional translators to localize their product.

#47511: the implementation details are still being discussed. One can jump in to express your thoughts Or help with a patch once the direction is set.

New CLPTEs

There are several new Cross-Locale PTEs now.
Please welcome @WooBeWoo Translations Team @Translations by Automattic @translationsbysemperplugins @Complianz @Supsystic Translations Team
Some have added new project(s), others are brand new
We’d like to hear from GTEs on how they are feeling with the current CLPTE request review process and the quality, reporting, etc if your team had encountered any issues or confusion, let us know!

@ocean90 shared that the translation memory (TM) is now updated with every new approved translation (submitted by a human). This increased the number of translations in the TM from 2k to 6k.
Rejected translations stay in TM but newer translations always get prioritized.
Next week, @tokyobiyori will host the meeting.
