The whole idea with having a 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](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/glossary/#general-translation-editor) after a [request by the project author](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/rosetta/theme-plugin-directories/#requesting-new-translation-editors) or by the contributors themselves. (Project Translation EditorProject 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.

Therefore a PTE (just like a user in the support forumSupport Forum WordPress Support Forums is a place to go for help and conversations around using WordPress. Also the place to go to report issues that are caused by errors with the WordPress code and implementations.) would typically be an individual, rather than a company account. Most efficient is when a good translator is given the PTE role, so that his/hers contributions immediately become approved. In addition, many 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/](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/) teams want to have two-way communication with the 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: [General Translation Editor](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2019/09/17/pte-request-for-coblocks/?output_format=md#general-translation-editor) and [Project Translation Editor](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2019/09/17/pte-request-for-coblocks/?output_format=md#project-translation-editor), to enable feedback, question and support. Usually this happens in a locale-specific SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/). The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/) team. As a minimum, many language teams want to see translation contributions from the user, who is about to be assigned as PTE, in order to check the quality of the translation contribution. 4. For Swedish (sv_SE) I can see no translations at all from [@godaddy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/godaddy/) 5 days ago, a more or less decent translation (but with some signs of typical machine translation problems, therefore some chunks of the translation were rejected when we checked the contribution) was uploaded by [@fjarrett](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fjarrett/) If Frankie Jarrett actually knows Swedish, then he really should invite himself to the Swedish Slack team, and we would quickly bring him up to speed and assign him PTE status. 5. If GoDaddy here is using commercially obtained professional translations, then you should probably ask for cross-locale PTE status instead. See [https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/rosetta/roles-and-capabilities/#cross-locale-project-translation-editor](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/rosetta/roles-and-capabilities/#cross-locale-project-translation-editor) for more details. 6. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/03fec775ba7bbccce7139a73dd5e741fbaa2069cf384cf2c5b328d391dd82266? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 7.
