Hi, I have been trying to get in touch with hindi translation team. I have submitted about 700 stings for hindi translation, all of them are still in pending mode even after 2 years. Hindi community on 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/. is inactive and the last message was seen there in July 2019. I tried looking for information so that I can contact the team directly but I didn’t find much ways of contacting them.

I have addressed my issue here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translations-are-not-approved-seems-like-no-editor-is-in-working-mode-since-2y/

@juhise @ankit-k-gupta @gagan0123 @gyan @hardeepasrani are among the editors who can approve translations.

I am working on many plugins and themes and translating them, but if my translations are not getting approved then there is no way of making efforts to make wordpress a better platform.

So, please make me an editor so that I can proceed with translations without waiting for years. I tried talking to the developers of the plugins and themes also, they also face the issue with editors.

There are companies which are working to translate projects, thats fine but its not fair that the individual contributors are not getting attention and everything being commercialized.

First up, apologies for the delayed reply, translations in Hindi are being approved, but usually for WordPress coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress., and for plugins, mostly PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party 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 and Project Translation Editor are taking care of it.

Thanks for showing interest and efforts 🙂 into Hindi translations.

I went through a lot of your translations, in order to see if I can simply make you Global Translation EditorTranslation 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 and Project Translation Editor for Hindi, since you’re actively contributing, and there’s not much activity in the Hindi Translation community lately (attributed mostly to lack of WordCamps where we used to have conversations and plannings).

About your translations, I found a lot of common errors like, the use of English alphabets for things that could be translated in Hindi. Reason for having a translation is ensuring that the person who is using the WordPress site, can use and understand(at least read) things even without knowing how to read/write English. So can you please correct such translations and revert back, so that I can start reviewing them?

Also, please go through:
Hindi Style Guide Proposal and in there, there’s a link to what we had been planning. It would be great if you could contribute in developing a style guide that will guide all Hindi translation editors, ensuring there’s much more consistency, in the Hindi translations, rather than same translation appearing in 10 different ways in 10 different places.

  On a sidenote, do check out the number of PTEs we have, and almost all request for PTEs are resolved within a day or two 🙂
  
  I’m still wondering why your last post did not make it to my inbox 🤔 . I’ve subscribed to #hi_in
  
  Last 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. request came on December 31st 2020, and we approved it on 1st January 2021, you can actually say, we took an year to work on it 😂

    Its not like that you took one year in a difference of December and January. You can see that over 600 translations are still pending. They were not either marked fuzzy nor approved. So, i didn’t know whether my translations got attention or not. I didn’t got any feedback so never got chance to improve and proceed with contributions as a translater.
    
    BTW, thanks for your prompt response @gagan0123. I will be really great if you make me Global translation editorTranslation Editor Translation editors can approve translations for projects.

It looks as if the post was initially published without the tag #hi_IN and it got added later.
