Hi @sendground! I reviewed your stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. for en_GB earlier today. 96% were accepted, but a few were rejected as they didn’t follow the glossary (specifically the use of “cart” instead of “basket”). Please can you check them and resubmit the fixed versions? Once that’s done, I’ll add you as 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.

Hi @sendground. It looks like the European Spanish text was used as a base here. I’ve returned this batch so you can adjust the verbs, quotes, and glossary terms to fit the Argentinean guidelines. Please update and resubmit.

Hi @sendground

Some constructions sound more literal and less idiomatic compared to standard Brazilian UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. terminology:

“Envio ao courier”
“O caminho de um pedido”
“O que %s cota para o pedido”
“Uma opção de %s, com seu preço e sua promessa”

Examples:

Original: “Se os avisos pararam de chegar, depois de restaurar um backup ou depois de o segredo ter sido trocado na SendGround, reconecte para obter um novo segredo.”
Suggested adjustment: “segredo” is a foreign loanword; in a pt-BR UI, “senha” is more natural and accessible.

Original: “Envio ao courier”
Suggested adjustment: “Entrega para a transportadora”
or
“Transferência para a transportadora”
Reason for adjustment: “courier” is a foreign loanword; in a pt-BR UI, “transportadora” is more natural and accessible.

Original: “A opção e a promessa” (in the context of a service)
Suggested adjustment: “preço e prazo prometido”
Reason for adjustment: “promessa” sounds too figurative for a UI and not a normal word to use in this context in pt-BR.

These excerpts feel like very direct translations from English and do not reflect how things are naturally expressed in Brazil. This could end up confusing a Brazilian user.

I’ve returned this batch so you can adjust the translations according to the pt-BR UI conventions, as a natural and accessible language for Brazilian users.

Hello @sendground. Thank you for the request. I have reviewed some of your translations and found a few occasional errors where the correct glossary have not been followed.
