I maintain the https://wordpress.org/plugins/segurium/ – Segurium plugin and I am asking for PTE on Arabic so I can review and maintain its catalogue instead of leaving it queued.

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/segurium/stable/ar/default/

What I’ve used:

The Arabic team publishes translation guidelines at https://ar.wordpress.org/team/handbook/translation-guidelines/. Arabic forms first.
Major brand names are transliterated: WordPress reads ووردبريس throughout, not Latin script.
Glossary taking into account.

Mechanical checks ran on every stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings.: placeholders and plural forms match the source, markup is unbroken, and brand names stay brands.

Thank you.

Hi, could you let me know if you’re a native Arabic speaker? Also, was this done using AI without any review from a native expert?

This was an automated translation. But I spent quite a lot of time to make it really good for my product translation, and for my native language and other languages which I know it shown good results. So I believe here it could show similarly good results.

Thank you.

  Hello @segurium, thank you for being transparent about using automated translation. While we appreciate the effort, Arabic translations without review by a native Arabic speaker often contain inconsistencies in style, terminology, and grammar that can harm your pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.
