Hi, I would want to be GTEGeneral Translation Editor A General Translation Editor (often referred to as GTE) is a person, who has global access to validate strings on all projects for a specific locale. for the Arabic 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/.
Actually, the Arabic polyglot team is very inactive,
There are a lot of stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. on waiting/fuzzy state for very long time (Two version has passed). I have tried to connect the team, and I’m actually in their 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/. group for a year now. the current GTE are not responding. the slack is dead.

Hello Mr. Shadi [@shadialaghbari],
Thank you for your interest to make Arabic translation always on top.
As you mention there are some stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. still not approved and our team working on them to publish next week, also I met with you last week to register the [words], and [strings] that need to replace and we are studying those strings to change in the next WP versions.
About our 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/. group, we are discussing everything either in private or public.
As for audio, or video meetings the team leaders or editors can schedule that to organize the results of meetings and take the votes of it, so we don’t need to create a new team with different channels, or groups and re-design everything from scratch.

Best regards,
MOHD. OKFIE

  Based on the feedback above that you already are in contact with each other and working actively, I’m going to remove the “to-do” status of this request for now.
  Feel free to say “Hi” in our global 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/. channel “polyglots” where both of you seem to be members already and keep us posted on how things are moving.

  @okfie.
  First: I did not mention creating new 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/. or new group or anything, I ment by new is new people, new active people, in the same slack. and the meeting I have held in two weeks were in the same slack channels. the result of this meeting, I figure out that almost no one is active, cos the first meeting I held only one new woman attended, second meeting only one man attended. let’s face the truth, the slack is dead. without new people, we can’t go on. that is first, second: before it was dead too, but at least GTEs were active. now even PTEs not active. though the two persons who attended my meetings agree to my new changes. and even you as you told me when I called you, nothing is really changing in the ground. there are critical problems in the current translation, and changes seems to be taking forever. though my suggestion was since a year ago. above of all of this, I have asked to be 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 after a request by the project author or by the contributors themselves. for some 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, and even the owners of the plugin did make a request. but no response. you appear suddenly from nowhere, to accept some new awaiting stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings.. then you will disappear for long time again. anyway, who cares, I don’t know why i care so much! who cares if the transition is f**ed up in Arabic. I was stupid to care about it for free. who cares that 99.9 of all plugins not translated, and even the translated ones have sh*ty translations. Who cares if WordPress is not available in Arabic. I don’t want to be part of anything related to WordPress, that’s it. do whatever you want to do with it. And I hope that my suggestions are not approved. We will start new CMS for the Arab world that have better Arabic language. At least no one can control us.
