A quick general comment:
The idea is that translations should be approved by people who know the target language well enough to check that translations are correct, follow the style guide of each 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/. I strongly doubt that you personally know both these languages well enough for that. (See: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/tools/glotpress-translate-wordpress-org/list-of-glossaries-per-locale/ ), etc.

Best candidates for this are the translators themselves.

*If* you’re sourcing these translations from *professional* translators and you fulfill several specific requests from us (informing the translators about available style-guides and ways to contact the translation teams; having a special profile with working communication channel for translation feedback, etc.), then there’s a special role that might be just right. It’s called CLPTECross-locale Project Translation Editor A Cross-Locale Project Translation Editor is an account owned by a plugin or theme author (or the authoring organization), which uses professional translators to localize their product. The cross-locale project translation editor can import/validate strings on a specific project for more than one locale. This role has the same capabilities as a Project Translation Editor over multiple locales instead of one. Cross-Locale Project Translation Editors need to meet a set of criteria before being appointed by General Translation Editors., Cross-Locale PTE.

There are some errors and some translations do not follow the rules set by the German Polyglot team. The German language has 2 branches: The formal form of address (Sie) and the informal (default) form of address (du). There are translations that are in the wrong branch (Sie instead of du). And many translations seem to have been done by gtranslate that don’t make sense.

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.
