A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. you submitted the green light, but I’m afraid a lot of the rest have some issues. Some of them don’t quite make sense in Greek.

                I am sorry but ALL we want to have our readme file in Greek!

                The application is fully translated in greek and the translations are contained in our pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

We submitted an initial translation to test it. Then we realised that our own translation for our plugin does not have us as editors!

                Is this reasonable?

                Correct me if I am wrong, but the obvious rationale is that the plugin authors would like to have the best possible translation for their plugins.

          Hi @oxfordmetadata,

          Just to clarify a few points.

          First of all, 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/ are all volunteers. We review translations in our spare time and apply the same standards to everyone, regardless of whether they are professionals, hobbyists, 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. authors, or contributors to other WordPress projects.

          The main issue wasn’t that you requested 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. access. It was that the translations that were submitted were not of a quality that we could reasonably approve. Many of the stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. simply didn’t make sense in Greek, so I couldn’t recommend granting editor access based on those submissions.

          It was also never mentioned that these were only temporary or test translations. Had that been clear from the beginning, it would have provided some useful context. Instead, I suggested taking a little time to review and improve the translations, but rather than updating them, the discussion moved here.

          Regarding your other contributions to WordPress and WooCommerce, those are certainly appreciated, but they’re ultimately unrelated to this request. Each contributor team has its own review process and standards. Contributing to one project or team doesn’t automatically mean contributions in another area can be accepted without review.

          If you could please review and update the pending translations so that they meet the basic quality expectations (most importantly, that they read naturally and make sense in Greek), we’d be happy to review them again. Once the translations reach that standard, I don’t see any issue with granting PTE access for your own plugin.

          Thank you.

          • Oxford Metadata Ltd 4:37 pm on August 5, 2026

            Thank you for your reply.

            Just to clarify a few things.
            1. All of us are volunteers here. All of us add value to the platform with our contributions.
            2. This is the first time that we do try to publish a localised readme. With a lot of effort and help from Claude we realised that we could do so in one go with .po file. Else the task of manually adding 100s of stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. was counterproductive.
            3. The people who work in this product are more than one. The Greek translation responsibility belongs to another person (even if they are using the same company account). The translators are not programmers. So the programmer tried to test how we upload a DeepL translated text, so that the translator can be guided on how to do the mass updates and go to fix the text. Also it help is you reading the text in the actual page. In the absence of preview and given that we do not have 100s of active users etc., we are OK to not have an optimal Greek translation for a couple of days. We do not mind.
            4. Yesterday, we uploaded a new version of the file (because in the mean time we are also modifying the original text, this time translated by Claude. It makes much more sense. We would like to be able to see it live.
            5. Indeed our application is difficult to describe (even in English); the point is that this (i.e. some complexity in its description, sub optimal definition etc), ought to be the sole responsibility of the authors, not of moderators. The moderators ought to just check if the text contains compliant language (no offensive words, misleading claims etc.)

            My apologies for the tone of the previous message but it is frustrating to spending so much time for such trivialities.

            Thank you for your understanding.
