@tsumiki We don’t accept AI translations for de_de. Do you know the target language? Right now, they are not in a good condition.

Also, remember to check out our ‘Translator’s Guide‘, where we describe best practices and recommendations for creating perfect 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." for plugins and themes.

Last but not least, we NEVER accept machine translations without human review. Volunteer team members’ time is just as valuable as that of any other contributor, and we ask for a minimum of respect for our work.

¡Gracias!

Hi @tsumiki
I’m removing the to-do status of this post, although you still haven’t received any response from #pt_BR #id_ID #zh_TW. Let’s hope they’ll find a moment to check and give some feedback.
