[Team Staatic](https://profiles.wordpress.org/staatic/) 3:10 pm _on_ July 8, 2024 6. Hi Peter, thank you for taking the time to review my suggestions. I appreciate your feedback. 7. I would like to clarify that I am indeed a native Dutch speaker. My preference for using English technical terms stems from the fact that they are often more widely recognized and understood within the Dutch-speaking community, especially in technical contexts. However, I understand the importance of adhering to the style guide and glossary. 8. If the use of English terms conflicts with the established guidelines, I am more than willing to adjust my approach and strictly follow the Dutch glossary to ensure consistency and clarity. 9. Thank you for your understanding. 10. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3e3d7b607460020fa93f80642f1db72f5510f4d31e9dd9a543e97e3549be6cf8? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 11.

[@staatic](https://profiles.wordpress.org/staatic/) we expect that translators follow the style guide / glossary when suggesting translations. If it is a technical term that should not be translated it is within the glossary. Check my improvements, and you will see the difference. Also you must be aware that most of the users are not technically, so translation should be easy to understand. Also have a look at the 100% suggestions given, before suggesting a different translation. 13. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d40d51581750ea73a7971ce0ac4a22bd82bc751ba1842519b8bf4fd78eed870f? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 14.

[Team Staatic](https://profiles.wordpress.org/staatic/) 1:11 pm _on_ July 10, 2024 20. After reviewing your feedback, I noticed that most of your suggested improvements involved linking words together (e.g., CLICLI Command Line Interface. Terminal( Bash) in Mac, Command Prompt in Windows, or WP-CLI for WordPress.-commando vs CLI commando or prestatie-optimalisaties vs prestatie optimalisaties). To my knowledge, this is perfectly acceptable in Dutch, and I did not observe any clear violations of the style guide. Furthermore, the use of hyphens is allowed and does not negatively impact readability for individuals with dyslexia. Therefore, I am unsure why these changes were necessary. 21. Regarding the translation of two words, I understand that they should have been translated differently according to the glossary. I will ensure to adhere to this in future translations. However, I do not see any other issues that suggest I am not a native Dutch speaker or that the quality of my translations falls below the required standard for PTEProject Translation Editor A Project Translation  Editor (often referred to as PTE) is a person, who has access to validate strings on a specific project (for example BuddyPress, WooCommerce or Twenty Fourteen) for one specific locale.
