You can contact us by joining the #traductores-plugins channel on the Spanish community Slack.

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!
