# Dear team, my plugin is…

Dear team, my plugin is coded in english using gettext functions to be translated
into my primary language (Spanish). After upload it to the plugins repository and
when a user goes to https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/enico-micropagos, sees the “
This plugin has not yet been translated into Spanish”. I have the correct MO files
and then I use the “translating wordpress” site (https://translate.wordpress.org/
projects/wp-plugins/enico-micropagos/). But after suggest some translation they 
go from “waiting” to “current” without any changes. My local MO files are OK. I 
need the message “This plugin has not yet been translated into Spanish” dissapear
as the plugin is in spanish when you choose “Spanish” in the general sections from
the WordPress website.

 3.  Hi [@enico](https://profiles.wordpress.org/enico/), there might be an issue with
     the Text Domain. Have a look with my tool on [https://wp-info.org/tools/checkplugini18n.php?slug=enico-micropagos](https://wp-info.org/tools/checkplugini18n.php?slug=enico-micropagos)

 6.  Hi [@enico](https://profiles.wordpress.org/enico/)
      That message will disappear
     once a language pack gets generated for your 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/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
     or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party.. Right now, 78% of the stringsString
     A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude
     of localized strings. in the “Stable plugin translation” are translated and approved.
     The threshold value for generating the first language pack is 90%.
 7.  If you filterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks [https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks).
     They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the
     counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated
     manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables 
     and output. the dev and stable translations for rejected strings, you’ll see that
     the [#es_ES](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=es_ES) team has
     not approved some of the strings (even twice, since they were submitted both by
     [@enico](https://profiles.wordpress.org/enico/) and [@viktormorales](https://profiles.wordpress.org/viktormorales/)

 10. The best way forward here would be for you or Viktor to join the Spanish 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 and there ask [@fernandot](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fernandot/) for
     feedback about what needs to be corrected in the strings that got rejected.
 11. Joining the Spanish Slack workspace is a two-step process:
      1. First, join the
     GLOBAL Slack for WordPress contributors via [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/)
     2. Next, use your special forwarding email you received in step (1) in order to
     join the Spanish Slack via [https://wpes.slack.com/signup/](https://wpes.slack.com/signup/)
