I hope you’re all doing well!

I’ve noticed that on RosettaRosetta The code name of the theme for the local WordPress sites (eg. bg.wordpress.org is a “Rosetta” site). All locale specific WordPress sites are referred to as “Rosetta sites.” The name was inspired from the ancient Rosetta Stone, which contained more or less the same text in three different languages. pages, the headings are in the native language, while the body text is often in English.

Here are some examples I’ve observed:

#ar https://ar.wordpress.org
#hi_IN https://hi.wordpress.org/
#ur https://ur.wordpress.org/

Is there a specific reason for this structure?
If the content should be entirely in the native language, could anyone please guide me on where I can edit this?

Additionally, whom should I contact to get the necessary permissions for making these edits?

Looking forward to your guidance!

Hi @alinaqi78622
The main content of localized WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ pages is given by the theme, which was updated a few months ago.

Virtually all of this content can be translated via a few “metaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress.” translation projects:
- https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/meta/wordpress-org/
- https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/meta/rosetta/
The 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/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party directory, theme directory, pattern library, etc. have their own translation projects.

Also: The text that describes a specific plugin is taken from the readme.txt of that plugin, and can be translated via the “Stable Readme” sub translation project for each plugin.

With the tags above, we sent notifications about this post to the mentioned 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/ teams. But these are just examples and not requests for immediate specific action, so I’m removing the to-do status of this post.
