Hi @maartenbelmans,

The quality of the few translations was not good. Besides that default is already 100% translated.
So request denied

  Hi @psmits1567
  
  I don’t understand your comment, sorry. I’m asking to get permissions to approve or deny translations from members for my own 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. Not sure what translations you are referring to. 🙂
  
  Thanks!

    As a pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

    If/when there is a community language pack visible at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/advanced-product-fields-for-woocommerce/language-packs/ it will take precedence, and then you can safely remove the same language from your /languages folder.

        If you notice wrong translations due to missing contents, then I propose that you improve them. They will be checked and if they comply to the Dutch requirements, they will be approved. Remember that I translated this project almost completely myself following the requirements. So I doubt there will be much wrong translations, besides the fact that the content was missing, causing possible a wrong translation.

        I double checked the current translation, there is nothing wrong with it. Be aware you need to use the Dutch glossary to translate glossary words properly. When they are not appropriate for your purpose, then I would advice you, to alter the original instead of translating glossary words wrong. That will not be accepted, and can cause that someone else modifies them again, to meet the glossary requirements.
