Hi all, someone translated nearly all texts of our 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 Commonsbooking into Danish language. Since I’m no native speaker and I don’t know if the user already requested a review, this is my request to danish-native TE’s to review the ~400 translated items.

Link to our plugin in the directory: https://wordpress.org/plugins/commonsbooking/

Let me know if this is the proper way of requesting the review.

Thank you!
Best, Chris

Hi Chris,
As one of too few GTEs for Danish it is my job to review and approve.
In a perfect world I would ask you to sit back and wait for your turn, but as the ‘too few’ might have hinted at, it’s not perfect.
So giving us a heads-up about this, is okay.
I’ll do a review as soon as possible. But please be patient – it does take some time 🙂

  Ok thank you! I was unsure of the official process, in the handbook it only talked about requesting it, when I’m the native speaker.
  
  Because I was not able to communicate with the user, who submitted the translations initially, I wanted to see if he requested it already or if someone is going to accept the translations anyhow.
  
  But now it’s all clear for me. Thanks again!

Oh. Initially, I missed that this was a “stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. review request” from someone who doesn’t know the target language.

Many localesLocale 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/ have enormous backlogs of pending stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings., and all WordPress contributions are based on volunteer work.

A much better approach from your side would be to look for users of your plugin/theme that would be interested in helping with translating the project to their native language. You’ll find several ideas in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/plugin-theme-authors-guide/

As a GTE for Swedish, if I see that I’d need to fix a substantial part of the strings, I’ll simply reject all strings from that user instead (especially if I see signs that the strings are raw machine translations).

  Thanks for the hint! Will definitely have a look again and try to go that more organically route in the future.
  
  Maybe a bit naive for me, to not think about the possibility, that the submitter has translated via machine. I was happy to see some translations from anyone on the internet haha. But also sounds to me its like an chicken/egg problem, which communities like WordPress only can solve in the way its described in the Handbook.
