Hi @weatheratlas,

we understand your wish to have quick and good translations for your product.

    You can ask for their attention just in the similar way as you did here. All WP 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/ codes are listed in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/
    
    However, please keep in mind that most language teams prefer to check, approve and support translators rather than translated stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings.. The idea is like that saying: You can give someone a fish and feed them for a day, or you can give them a fish rod, teach them how to fish, and feed them for a lifetime. In other words: it takes bigger resources to just check some pending translations and later having to do that repeatedly over time, than to establish and develop a mutually beneficial relationship with the person who does the translation, helping them to a level where they’ll be able to translate themselves with good quality.

      Hello @tobifjellner
      
      You’re right. It is better to have a quality translator, then to always check pending translations.
      
      1. My issue at the moment is that there are translations (ex. Serbian 466 waiting stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings.), but can not get anyone to approve translations.
      
      I have sent an email to slackinvitehelp@wordpress.org for an invitation to join 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/. a few hours ago and still waiting for a response.
      
      2. Can you please help me with this issue:
      I have a problem with Importing External Files
      
      After the export of existing file .xml (or .jsonJSON JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a minimal, readable format for structuring data. It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, as an alternative to XML. or any other type) and editing, I have a problem with the Importing it back.
      The system always states: “0 translations were added”
      
      Example of the code:
      
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  <resources> <string name="AM_Fog">Prepodne magla</string> </resources>
      
      The example stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. (“AM_Fog”) exists, and it is untranslated so there is no issue from the note: When you import a file, untranslated strings and translations which are different from existing translations will be saved. If the imported file contains original strings not present in the string list of translate.wordpress.orgtranslate.wordpress.org The platform for contributing to the translation of WordPress core, themes and plugins., those will be ignored.
      
      Can you help me with this, as I would like to upload translations of various weather conditions for multiple languages?

        1. With regards to joining 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/., have you tried visiting make.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//chat/ and then registering in Slack using the special forwarding address weatheratlas@chat.wordpress.org ?
        
        2. The UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. at translate.wordpress.orgtranslate.wordpress.org The platform for contributing to the translation of WordPress core, themes and plugins. handles one language at a time. Can you export your translations as po-file or 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/-file instead? Those get uploaded nicely.

        @tobifjellner Hello again,
        
        Thank you for the time to answer to my issues.
        
        1. make.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//chat/
        When a user is logged in a wp.org the note says:
        “…
        You’ve already been invited to wordpress.slack.com. Go there to log in. Be sure to log in using weatheratlas@chat.wordpress.org as your email address.
        If you haven᾿t received an email invitation to [redacted] yet, check your spam and promotions folders. You can email slackinvitehelp at this domain (just the “wordpress.org” part) for help.
        …”
        So I can not register, but to wait for a new invitation (as I think the old invitation was sent when I was joining WP a long time ago)
        
        2. I am very well versed in PoEdit, but a stand-alone version does not have an import option to import excel cell/cell translations.
        So after several conversions .xml >> .po >> . 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/ it works! : )
        
        3. Thank you for this info. We only just UpWork’s part-time translators.
        
        Thank You again for your time!

        Oh. I see. I redacted your real email from your comment since spambots are harvesting these pages for targets.
        Yep, in that case you did the right thing, one of the admins of our huge 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/.-team will need to do something manually to let you in.
        2. Uploading just a po-file should work fine. That will be one step less.
