The translations have not been reviewed by our Polyglot team, but I took a quick look at them.

There are many errors and 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).

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

- 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.

I feel that your #ja translation is below the minimum quality level. Many phrases sound like machine translation.

Based on the feedback to this request so far, I’m removing the to-do status of this post. It really looks like you’re just pumping out machine translations that haven’t been checked by humans who know the target language well.
