The [Proposal/Call for Volunteers: Polyglots Training Working Group](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2021/02/09/proposal-call-for-volunteers-polyglots-training-working-group/) generated helpful feedback for topics. Based on those ideas, we [now have a list](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2021/02/09/proposal-call-for-volunteers-polyglots-training-working-group/#comment-290644) to help us start building these materials. Those include: * What it means to contribute translations to WordPress (for example, consistency, tone, quality, etc.) * How translations work (including what we translate, what we don’t translate, and how to use glossaries) * The [section for Editors](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/for-editors/) from the Handbook * A workshop on how to create a glossary * A workshop on how to create a style guide * A workshop on how to give feedback [[ The file structure of the training folder Last week, [@nao](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nao/) and [@evarlese](https://profiles.wordpress.org/evarlese/) hosted an informal open working session to start working on these ideas and the next steps. We have now created a [shared Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1pxgf1eoc3JR0vl1Jj4cZyUDPP75PR7Di) to organize the planning documents, drafts, and outlines. If you’d like edit access to Google Drive to help with planning these courses, please leave a comment or pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message( DM).
