I see that more than 900 translations are waiting to be published. https://translate.wordpress. org/locale/da/default/wp-plugins/paid-memberships-pro/ Could you please verify these, I have looked them over, and they all seem just fine. Right now everything is half danish half english, and as this looks horrible, we’d like it if we could translate these to close to 100% danish asap. * [#da_DK](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=da_DK) – [@maltheskaklund](https://profiles.wordpress.org/maltheskaklund/) Usernames “un-mentioned” by site editorSite Editor [Site Editors](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/rosetta/roles-and-capabilities/) aka Rosetta site Editors are the users who have access to a specific Rosetta site associated with a locale.

Hi [@maltheskaklund](https://profiles.wordpress.org/maltheskaklund/) in your request you mentioned several irrelevant users, I removed the tagging marks in order to not mention them before publishing. I can see that you’ve only got ONE waiting stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. for your account. But since the other pending stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. in most cases are several years old, I think you’d still be the best option here. Since we’ve tagged [#da_DK](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=da_DK) the Danish team will be notified and have a look. It would be great if you in the meantime could add some more pending strings from your account. 4. * ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2c941d5ddd7274affd7752239bee338e41df6b38a8345663b341248390e7f2d8? s=32&d=mm&r=g) * [maltheskaklund](https://profiles.wordpress.org/maltheskaklund/) 8:38 am _on_ December 18, 2020 * Why arent the existing “waiting” translations which are all almost perfect being enforced and used.

It doesn’t matter how old they are. That speaks more to the fact that they were never approved, why would I start translating everything again only for it to be waiting for several years? Can we start with approving these? I’ll gladly look them through again although they are all pretty much fine. I just want to KNOW that they WILL be published in order for me to spend my time on them.

Any logged-in user may suggest translation, without knowing the target language at all. Also, the translation teams strive to keep a consistent use of various terms (see [https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/translating/list-of-glossaries-per-locale/](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/translating/list-of-glossaries-per-locale/)) In Swedish, for instance, quite a few people, especially developers, talk about “plugins”, whereas we’ve agreed to use the term “tillägg” for WordPress plugins.

What I’m saying is that if someone suggested several hundred stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. for this plugin three years ago, then there’s no guarantee that they’re still interested in taking care of the translation of this plugin.
