I am the author of Kantan Analytics.

The readme project has 194 waiting stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. in German:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/kantan-analytics/stable-readme/de/default/

I made this draft with DeepL and a terminology glossary. I do not speak German. I don’t know any German speakers that I can hit up to review it, so this is the best I have!

I am not asking for editor rights for myself. I cannot judge German. Please could a German editor check the set and approve it if it is good enough?

If the set is not good enough, tell me and I will delete it and try again.

One more thing. The 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. also ships bundled de_DE .mo filesMO files MO, or Machine Object is a binary data file that contains object data referenced by a program. It is typically used to translate program code, and may be loaded or imported into the GNU gettext program. This is the format used in a WordPress install. These files are normally located inside .../wp-content/languages/ for the admin screens. I made those the same way, before this review. Tell me if that is a problem and I will fix it.

Thanks!

Joel

Hi @inglewood
We don’t follow up on requests to just review here, so I’ll remove the to-do status immediately.
Most 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/ teams don’t have enough volunteers to check all translations of various quality that generate using machine/AI translation.

It would be much better if you could find users who are interested in contributing translations for your project. Look at https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/plugin-theme-authors-guide/ for some ideas.
