The translations have not been reviewed by our Polyglot team, but I took a quick look at them. 4. There are some errors and some translations do not follow the rules set by the German Polyglot team. 5.

[derWalter](https://profiles.wordpress.org/derwalter/) 8:09 pm _on_ January 7, 2025 13. thx guys. 14. Is there a decision for this 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/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/) or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party., if it should be formal or informal? 15. my take on this is as follows: If it should look more profound and professional, I recommend formal. But following your style Guido, as someone who seems to be interested in sharing and democratic processes, viewing people on the same level, I recommend the informal approach. Especially as there is a “formal informal” version of German, which is called “Arbeits-Du”, which translates to “working you”. So even approaching people by informal “you”, it shoulders the inclination of respect, culture and appropriate behavior. 16. So in this case I would opt for the informal approach. 17. eager to hear from you and happy to be on board 🙂 18. * ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/890bd890338f9b6a17143a65ac10a20410e135583d95106bb09f20d91f66afe2? s=32&d=mm&r=g) * [tobifjellner (Tor-Bjorn “Tobi” Fjellner)](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tobifjellner/) 10:03 pm _on_ January 7, 2025 * [@derwalter](https://profiles.wordpress.org/derwalter/) It’s works in a different way. If you want your WordPress site to be in German(Germany), you need to also select which translation branch you want to use, either “default” (which uses “du), or “formal” (which uses “Sie”). * Throughout the German translations of WordPress coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress., plugins, themes, etc. this then needs to be followed. This way, the user will get a consistent language in all parts of the site. * In other words, you don’t select one or the other version for the user, but( ideally) offer both, so that the user can choose what they want. Let’s tag the German team [#de_DE](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=de_DE) in case they want to add more information. * Contrary to many developers’ belief, the informal “du” version is much larger than “Sie”. You can see at [https://wordpress.org/about/stats/](https://wordpress.org/about/stats/) that “du” is used by 5.5% of all WordPress sites, whereas “Sie” reaches 0.2%. * ————– But there’s also Swiss German, where the default branch use “Sie” (and this version is also used by 0.2% of all WordPress sites. In other words, if you’ve created both default and formal branch of de_DE for your pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

This script mostly handles a couple of spelling conventions, like replacing ß with ss. (The informal branch of de_CH is then another manual step of changing the verbs and voice back to “du”.) * So you might want to also ask (in a new post) 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.
