I’m the author of WP Branches for Post:

I recently updated 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. and submitted translations for several localesLocale 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/. Since I don’t have approval permissions, I’d be very grateful if anyone in the Polyglots community could help review them.
I can personally review Chinese, Japanese, and English. For the other languages, I used AI-assisted translation as a starting point, so I especially hope native speakers can help check the wording, correct anything unnatural or inaccurate, and approve the translations when appropriate.

Even a small amount of review would help me a lot. I’d really like to make the plugin available in more languages, but I also want the translations to be accurate and natural rather than simply machine-generated.

Thank you very much for your time and help. 🙏

Hi @haokexin
I have removed the to-do status of this post. Here’s why:
The volunteers in the Polyglots community don’t have the capacity to validate the tens of thousands of machine-translated stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. that a large number of developers submit.
You can see for yourself how big backlogs various localesLocale 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/ have at https://translate.wordpress.org/stats/
As a matter of fact, our handbook specifically states that machine translations should never be uploaded unless they’ve been checked by a human who knows the target language really well.

What we could have followed up on here would be a 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. request. But I can see that you already have been appointed as PTE for Chinese and Japanese, so there’s no 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.
