Hello @vinayconversios,

Before granting 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. rights for @krishna852000, he/she must submit German translations on his/her own. We need to check the quality and language level.

I took a quick look at the existing German translation of your 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. There are a lot of errors and some translations do not follow the rules set by the German 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/.. In General, the use of unedited machine translation is forbidden and results in bulk rejection of ALL submitted translations.

The German language has 2 branches: The formal form of address (Sie) and the informal form of address (default, du). There are translations that are in the wrong branch (Sie instead of du).

You should follow all these steps:
- Read the German Style Guide;
- Read the German Glossary;
- Use our German SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/., #polyglots channel to get answers for questions that may arise – if you’re not sure, ask first. German tutorial how to join our Slack channel;
- Ask the team (not individuals) in our Slack #polyglots for assistance. Everyone listed on translate.wordpress.orgtranslate.wordpress.org The platform for contributing to the translation of WordPress core, themes and plugins. on your plugin/theme page has at least PTE rights and can help.
We strongly recommend creating the German language stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. according to the above rules in order to provide the users of your plugin/theme with the highest quality, professional and consistent 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.".
