Hello, on a WP Store…

Hello, on a WP Store we have a GLS Delivery 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 by Lumen Spei, of whose I am the author.

As our colleagues from the GLS Germany division sent us a German language translation request for our plugin, I would like to be granted an Editor role so that I can kindly accept their offered translation.

Thank you in advance.

Hello @krunoslavris. Unfortunately the provided translation is not very good (double spaces, missing periods etc.) and it is also not following the general rules we have defined for german translations (see https://de.wordpress.org/mitwirken/style-guide-fuer-uebersetzungen/). Can maybe @glsjens get in touch with the german polyglots teamPolyglots Team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing copy. https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/. directly to become 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.

  I’m removing the to-do status of this request since there currently is nothing more left for the 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.

In order to proceed with this request, you (or, where applicable, the translator) can follow the instructions given in previous comments.

Thanks you for the reply. I will contact @glsjens and kindly ask him to get in touch with your team as instructed. Cheers.

Hello @krunoslavris

I would like to be granted an Editor role so that I can kindly accept their offered translation.

At the beginning of 2022, the German GTE team had discussed and decided to give every 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 or theme author the 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.

According to this rule I have activated the PTE rights for you. But as mentioned before:

There are rrors and some translations do not follow the rules set by the German Polyglot team.

You should all follow these steps (either YOU, the Dev, or the Translator):
- Get yourselves (you AND/OR the translator – both would be best for perfect communication) on the German 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/. Community, channel #polyglots
  German tutorial how to join our Slack channel.
- Read the German Style Guide;
- Read the German Glossary;
- Use our Slack, #polyglots channel to get answers for questions that may arise – if you’re not sure, ask first;
- Ask the team (not individuals) in our Slack #polyglots for assistance.
Everyone listed on translation.w.org on your plugin/theme page has at least PTE rights and can help you further, approve translations and guide you through the German polyglot rules.

We strongly recommend creating the German language stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. according to the above rules in order to provide the users of your plugin/theme with the highest quality, professional and consistent localizationLocalization Localization (sometimes shortened to "l10n") is the process of adapting a product or service to a particular language, culture, and desired local "look-and-feel."..

Thank you for your reply Angelika, I appreciate it.

I will also forward this to @glsjens , which I already did yesterday regarding the previous comments of your colleagues.

Once we do this additional iteration of language check with our translator, we’ll accept the translated version.

You’re welcome

  Hi Angelika, my partner from Germany, @jens, provided a new version of the translation. He followed the guide as requested this time. Can you or someone else just give me a confirmation that it is done right and is accepted this time?
  
  P.S. Do I have to activate it in some way once it is approved by you guys, or does it go automatically?

      @krunoslavris I’m confused, as I can’t find any translation by someone called @jens. Is this one identical with @glsjens?
      Either way, the only translation that I can find is the readme, and I can see that @glsjens did some contributions to it. But unfortunately the quality is poor. So what would you like us to do now?
      - krunoslavris 10:33 pm on December 11, 2022
        
        @presskopp sorry for the confusion, I’ve meant to say @glsjens, he is the one I wanted to refer to.
        
        I am sorry to hear that the quality of the provided contribution is poor, but I would still like to accept it and proceed with it as-is. Because after all he did step up to help and did two iterations of that contribution, so I do trust in his materials. We could upgrade it more in the future, but I’d like to finish with it for now.
        
        Is that ok? So I am wondering about the next steps. Do you just accept it and it is then live and available, or do I have to do something on my part to make that happen?
        
        Best regards.
