I am the plugin author of [News XML Sitemap Generator] https://wordpress.org/plugins/news-xml-sitemap-generator/ .
I’ve recently completed the Italian (it_IT) translation of the plugin at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/news-xml-sitemap-generator/stable/it/default/

I would like to request 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. A project translation editor can approve strings that are added by translation contributors. Per project translation, editors are appointed by a general translation editor after a request by the project author or by the contributors themselves. access so I can approve translations and keep them updated.

Update:

In addition to Italian (it_IT), I’ve now added translations for the following localesLocale 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/:
- English (UK) – en_GB
- French (France) – fr_FR
- Spanish (Spain) – es_ES
I would like to help maintain these as well and request 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.
