Thank you, Milan, and thank you, Tobi, for taking the time to look at this.

Milan, you are right on both points. Our sr_RS stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. for zinn-cache, zinn-connector, zinn-offload and zinn-reseller were imported in Latin script, while sr_RS on WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users.

They also contain machine-translation artefacts and mixed languages, including Russian words such as “этот”. We should have caught both before submitting anything, and we are sorry for the review time this cost your team.

We are withdrawing the current sr_RS submissions for all four plugins. Please reject the strings that are waiting for review; we will not resubmit them.

We are fixing this at the source: our translation checks will enforce each 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.

@zinndigital, request denied
The first lines in the first project mentioned, are missing blanks at the start of the line. Also you use formal language ‘u’ and ‘uw’ in default which is wrong. Those suggestions were imported after translating them outside of translate.wordpress.orgtranslate.wordpress.org The platform for contributing to the translation of WordPress core, themes and plugins.
And I doubt that you have them checked by a native Dutch speaker

Thank you, Peter. You are right on all three points: the missing leading spaces, the formal “u/uw” where nl_NL uses the informal form, and that these were translated outside translate.wordpress.orgtranslate.wordpress.org The platform for contributing to the translation of WordPress core, themes and plugins. and not checked by a native Dutch speaker.

Dan Caragea 12:26 pm on October 1, 2026

You added hundreds of stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. at once to multiple plugins. If you want to continue (for ro_Ro), add 10–15 strings per day, check whether they are approved or not and then correct anything that doesn’t match to the strings you are about to add next.

Bonjour @zinndigital

The French translation team will do its best to process your request as soon as possible. You can find more info on how we handle PTE requests.

Can you also get in touch with us on the French SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/, in the #traductions channel, using our direct invitation link? We have a few recommendations to share before granting 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.

Please also keep in mind the French Glossary and Guidelines available in our Handbook.

A note on AI-generated translations
The PTE role is a quality-assurance step, not a publishing shortcut. For this reason, the French team does not grant PTE access for translations that were bulk-generated with an LLM or machine translation and not reviewed by a human who speaks French. We also don’t validate such translations on your behalf: reviewing them takes far more effort than the volunteer team can absorb, and “just review” requests will not be followed up.

If this is the case for your French translations, please remove your request for the FR 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/.

If you use AI or MT as a starting point, that’s fine, provided that the translations have been checked by a competent French speaker (yourself, or a professional translator) before you ask for PTE access, and that the LLM was given our French glossary and style guide (terminology, tone (vouvoiement), placeholders).

If your translations were reviewed by professional translators, please mention it in your request, tell us who did the review, and let us contact them.

Merci
