I’m handling your post as a 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. request. Usually, I wait at least two weeks for a response from the relevant 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/ team(s) (in this case #hi_IN ) before I may step in and make a decision on their behalf.

Note that the 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/., which is all based on volunteer work, in general has limited time and resources available and therefore mainly prioritize vetting and mentoring translation contributors to become stable enough translators to be appointed as translation editorsTranslation Editor Translation editors can approve translations for projects. The GTE (General Translation Editor) and LM (Locale Manager) roles can add new users with the "Project Translation Editor" role that can approve translations for specific projects. There are two different Translation Editor roles:
General Translation Editor and Project Translation Editor. Many locale teams have large backlogs. You can see in https://translate.wordpress.org/stats/ that the Hindi team has more than 55k pending stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings..

  We just wanted to ask if there’s anything we could do on our side to help, or if there’s anything in our approach we should change. If we missed something or did anything wrong, we’re happy to adjust.
  
  Thanks again for your time.

Since the #hi_IN team didn’t respond yet, I’ve now made @jegstudio 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.

It would have been better if that human translator registered their own account with wp-org, but we’ll leave it like this for now.
Please read https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/plugin-theme-authors-guide/ for more information about how to best handle translations.
