A list of all locales supported by WordPress in [https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/), and all these sites simply use the native strings directly, without translation. - The various locale teams just want to help you and the users by making sure that the translations are correct, of good quality, and follow their respective style guides. - Right now, the only pending translations I can see from you in [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wc-korkmaz-contract/](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wc-korkmaz-contract/) are for Turkish, but they’ll just disappear once you change your plugin to use English. - The [#en_GB](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=en_GB) is NOT a workaround to “make an English version” if the source is in a totally different language. It’s there to correct spelling, choice of words, etc. to fit British English. - With source strings not being in English, plugin isn’t really ready for translation yet, so I’m removing the to-do status of this post. - Also note the comment from the fr_FR team.
