Translate WordPress

You can help translate WordPress to your language by logging in to the translation platform with your 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/ account and suggesting translations (more details).

Want to help in managing and validating translations? Get in touch with the existing language team and follow the glossaries & style guides if the team has them.

Don’t see your language? You can request support for it.

Requesting 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 for accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers).

We have .po/.mo filesMO files MO, or Machine Object is a binary data file that contains object data referenced by a program. It is typically used to translate program code, and may be loaded or imported into the GNU gettext program. This is the format used in a WordPress install. These files are normally located inside .../wp-content/languages/ ready and aim to improve global accessibility support by localizing the plugin into as many supported languages as possible.

Hi @cartcoder
While I was trying to figure out how to handle your pending post, you made another one.
But I have immediately removed the to-do status of the post. Here’s why:

The 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. role is meant for an individual contributor, who knows the target language well. I’m pretty sure that you personally don’t know all these languages.

Most 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 will try and check the quality of your translations to decide if you’re following their term glossary and style guide well enough. But with just 5 stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. proposed, out of which only 1 stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. (the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party description) is a real translation, that’s simply not enough material to judge. And when you request a large number of 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/ (including many dormant ones), it also feels like you’ll not be able to process any feedback on your translations, since you probably know only a handful of these languages.

If you’ve got .po filesPO files PO files are human readable files which contain translations we use. These files are not used by WordPress itself. Each language will have its own PO file, for example, for French there would be a fr_FR.po file, for german there would be a de_DE.po, for British English there might be en_GB.po. ready, you can use the “traditional” way: put them in a /languages folder and use load_plugin_translation(). If you make sure to keep the correct text-domain (= plugin slug), then when/if there’s a language pack from volunteer contributors on translate.wordpress.orgtranslate.wordpress.org The platform for contributing to the translation of WordPress core, themes and plugins., the latter will take precedence.

Right now, if someone would approve the current 5 strings in your plugin for a locale, a language pack would get generated, and will actually leave your plugin untranslated when you release your next version, which seems to be better prepared for i18nInternationalization Internationalization (sometimes shortened to I18N , meaning “I - eighteen letters -N”) is the process of planning and implementing products and services so that they can easily be adapted to specific local languages and cultures, a process called localization. This is the process of making software translatable. Information about Internationalization for developers can be found in the Developer’s handbooks..

I have a very high DeepL APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. limit /Free/.
But my limit is not enough for such a volume.
This is just fantasy!!!
