As you can see in [https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=sw](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=sw) Swahili is pretty much a dormant 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/](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/). 4. Let’s treat your post here as an attempt to reach out to the current locale team. The 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.**’s will get an email notification when the locale tag [#sw](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=sw) is used, but I’ll also notify the LM’s this time, namely [@mrfroasty](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mrfroasty/) and [@ojagero](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ojagero/). 5. The things to keep in mind are described in [https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/translating/teams/inactive-translations/](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/translating/teams/inactive-translations/) 6.

Their accounts seem inactive for a while (same case with editors), and lots of translations have not been approved in a while. Hopefully, this gets seen. 10. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9fd26e401feb7ea8c1a897d5026c58d5831a145d95e8a0ad9e060f49503d7fac? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 11.

Hello [@manuel](https://profiles.wordpress.org/manuel/), Sorry about this but its correct that I have not been engaged with translation for quite some time. 13.
