# Call for Polyglots Team Representatives- 2025

It’s time to select the team representatives for 2025 across the WordPress project
for the Polyglots teamPolyglots Team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators
who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing
copy. [https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/)!

## What is a Team RepTeam Rep A Team Rep is a person who represents the Make WordPress team to the rest of the project, make sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-team efforts.?

Within the WordPress project, each contributor team has a minimum of two team representatives.
Often abbreviated to “Team Reps,” these people represent the team across the project,
share key updates across all contributor teams, and generally help to support the
team as a whole. You can read more about the team rep definition and expectations
on the [**Team Reps page**](https://make.wordpress.org/updates/team-reps/).

Currently, the Polyglots team has three representatives: [@chaion07](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chaion07/)
[@spiraltee](https://profiles.wordpress.org/spiraltee/) [@amieiro](https://profiles.wordpress.org/amieiro/)
and we thank each of them for their contribution to the WordPress project and dedication
toward the Polyglots Team.

Expectations for team reps can vary from team to team. In general, Polyglots team
reps help to:

 * Prepare for and run Polyglots weekly team chats. Currently, there’s a spreadsheet
   used to track who is available to run the weekly meetings, this helps to effectively
   split the workload.
 * Providing quarterly Polyglots updates to other contributor groups.
 * Generally representing Polyglots across the project, or in the occasional chat.
 * Maintain a high-level perspective and awareness on current Polyglots projects.
 * Lead the Polyglots Table at WordCamps including help facilitate other contributors
   to represent as Table Leads.

It is also worthy to note that;

 * Experienced mentors will also be around to support the team reps.
 * You also don’t have to be a Team Rep to help facilitate weekly meetings.
 * This opportunity presents the possibility for you to expand your network within
   the WordPress community and gain a deeper insight into how it works.

Team Reps should expect to dedicate 1 to 2 hours per week to these activities. Any
active Polyglots contributor can be a Team Rep, and we can have more than two Team
Reps. Likewise, an existing Team Rep can continue in the position, as well, though
having new people in these roles is encouraged!

## Opening nominations

Any active Polyglot can be a Team Rep, and anyone can nominate a Team Rep. Self-
nominations are also accepted. Everyone is welcome to give some thought as to who
is a good fit for this role and nominate them in the comments of this post.

Duplicate nominations are also welcome – so if someone has already shared your suggested
team rep, please feel free to add your support. Likewise, while the person you’re
nominating is expected to be an active Polyglots contributor, they do not have to
be active in the global/international Polyglots community, so please share this 
post within your 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/),
too!

Nominations for Polyglots Team Reps will be open until **February 26, 2025**. Those
selected as Team Reps will take over these responsibilities starting in March 2025
and would be in this position for a period of 12 months, until the end of March 
2026.

After the nominations close, if there are enough nominees that we need to make a
selection, we would publish a poll before the end of March, so everyone can cast
their votes. Keep in mind that whoever is selected as a team rep will need to accept
the role. So if someone nominates you, and you aren’t available or interested, don’t
worry! Simply let us know in the comments or in a DM to me that you do not wish 
to accept the nomination.

_If you have any questions about the Team Rep role, want to learn more, or any other
doubts, please share them here in the comments!_

     There are two different Translation Editor roles: [General Translation Editor](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2025/01/27/call-for-polyglots-team-representatives-2025/?output_format=md#general-translation-editor)

     that you join their SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/).
     The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/)

 32. In most cases, joining a locale team is a two-step process.
 33. First, join the GLOBAL Slack team for WordPress contributors via [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/)
 34. As a side-effect of joining the global team, a special email forwarding address
     gets created under your profile here at .org. It’s your username, followed by `@
     chat.wordpress.org`, for instance `umeshsinghin@chat.wordpress.org`. This virtual
     address will forward emails to the address you’ve got configured in your .org 
     profile, but only for messages from Slack and GravatarGravatar Is an acronym for
     Globally Recognized Avatar. It is the avatar system managed by WordPress.com, 
     and used within the WordPress software.
      [https://gravatar.com](https://gravatar.com/).

 53. Hello everyone,
 54. My name is Luis Rull [@luisrull](https://profiles.wordpress.org/luisrull/), and
     I’ve been an active member of the WordPress community for more than 15 years. 
     During this time, I’ve dedicated myself to translating thousands of stringsString
     A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude
     of localized strings. across hundreds of projects, giving me extensive experience
     in the field of localizationLocalization Localization (sometimes shortened to "**
     l10n**") is the process of adapting a product or service to a particular language,
     culture, and desired local "look-and-feel.".
 55. I’ve actively participated in workshops at WordCamps and Meetups, sharing my knowledge
     and helping fellow community members improve their translation skills. I’ve also
     had the honor of being a member of the managing team of the the Spanish (es_ES)
     community, one of the largest and most prolific within WordPress, specially, its
     translators.
 56. I believe the time has come for me to step forward and take on a leadership role
     in the Polyglots community. From my experience as both a translator and community
     manager, I can offer a comprehensive and strategic vision to help revitalize our
     translator base.
 57. I’d like to collaborate with other community members to improve translation quality,
     increase participation, and foster collaboration among translators, specially 
     through these days of uncertainty in the community. I’m also eager to explore 
     new ways to support translators and recognize their invaluable contributions to
     WordPress.
 58. In addition to my community involvement, I’m the founder of Mecus.es, a web development
     company with nearly 20 years of experience. At Mecus, we’ve specialized in creating
     websites for academics and scientists. I’ve also worked in UXUX UX is an acronym
     for User Experience - the way the user uses the UI. Think ‘what they are doing’
     and less about how they do it. and educational companies, providing me with a 
     broad perspective on user needs and how to create effective web experiences.

     an ideal candidate for the Polyglots TeamPolyglots Team Polyglots Team is a group
