# Adding error checks at translate.wordpress.org

We have some situations where we don’t check some translations or if we check it,
we return a warning, that can be dismissed by the translator, so the translators
can add incorrect, and sometimes, dangerous translations. To prevent these situations,
we have deployedDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the
production web server, so that it's available to visitors. two PR:

 * The [first PR](https://github.com/GlotPress/GlotPress/pull/1644) in GlotPressGlotPress
   GlotPress is the translation management software that powers [Translate.WordPress.org](http://translate.wordpress.org).
   More information is available at [glotpress.org](http://glotpress.org/)., to 
   check the incorrect placeholders. This is a generic check, so it will be useful
   in any installation.
 * The [second PR](https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress.org/pull/162) at [translate.wordpress.org](https://translate.wordpress.org/),
   with 4 checks specifically designed for the WordPress coreCore Core is the set
   of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress.:

The **first check** adds an error for unexpected timezone stringsString A string
is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of
localized strings..

[[

The **second check** adds an error for unexpected start of week number.

[[

The **third check** adds an error for unexpected slug format.

[[

The **fourth check** adds an error for unexpected timezone date format.

[[

You have a depth explanation in both PR.

If you think it could be interesting to add more generic checks in the GlotPress
core or specific checks for the WordPress core, please, add these suggestions in
the comments. Thank you.
