    Hi Sorry, Didn’t get any notification.
    
    About the translation:
    
    1. The basic translation is indeed AI-based to save time. I then had a friend who speaks German as a native speaker go over the translation before I uploaded the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

    2. I am aware of the translation guidelines and everything that is required. We went through them together to ensure correctness. And I am aware that AI-based translations that have not been checked by humans are not allowed.

In accordance with the German team’s established quality standards, AI-generated translations for the Arabic 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/ (#ar) cannot be accepted unless they undergo thorough review and validation by a qualified native-speaking human expert.

While the use of AI may be permitted for the initial 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." phase, the final output must be fully reviewed, corrected, and validated by a native Arabic translator using the approved Arabic glossary and style guide. To that end, we kindly request written confirmation that a native Arabic-speaking linguist performed both the substantive review and the final sign-off on the translated content.

  Hi,
  
  As I replied to Jens, we did the initial translation using AI to save manual work time. We did the language transition and corrections manually. One of the team members speaks Arabic and works on the Arabic language.
