Hi Polyglots team 👋

Translate WordPress

You can help translate WordPress to your language by logging in to the translation platform with your WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ account and suggesting translations (more details).

Want to help in managing and validating translations? Get in touch with the existing language team and follow the glossaries & style guides if the team has them. Also join your language team’ internal communication channels.

Don’t see your language? You can request support for it.

We’re the team behind the Simply.IN payment gateway 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 we’d like to renew our earlier request for help with translation review. Some of you may remember our previous post on the same topic – we wanted to follow up because the situation hasn’t fully resolved yet.

A note on transparency: the stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. in these three locales were initially prepared with significant help from AI. We genuinely tried to find human translators going from Polish into these languages who also understand ecommerce / payment-gateway terminology AND WordPress translation conventions (formal vs informal forms, glossary, plural rules, etc.) – but that exact combination of skills turned out to be practically impossible to source on our side. In our experience, well-prompted AI with proper project context has actually produced more consistent and terminologically coherent first drafts than the partial human translations we were previously able to commission – but we fully understand that’s no replacement for a native-speaker review, which is exactly why we’re here.

So we’re not asking anyone to translate from scratch, and we’re not asking for blanket approval of AI output. We’re asking native speakers from the #el, #bg_BG and #sr_RS teams to take a look, correct what the AI got wrong, and approve only what stands up to scrutiny.

If anyone has bandwidth, we’d be enormously grateful.

Thanks so much for everything you do for the WordPress ecosystem! 🙏

Hi @simplyin
Everything here is based on volunteer contributions.
In this blog we keep tabs on requests to promote translation contributors (who personally know their target language really well) to translation editorsTranslation Editor Translation editors can approve translations for projects. The GTE (General Translation Editor) and LM (Locale Manager) roles can add new users with the "Project Translation Editor" role that can approve translations for specific projects. There are two different Translation Editor roles:
General Translation Editor and Project Translation Editor.

We don’t follow up mere requests for translation/review.
You can read https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/plugin-theme-authors-guide/ for some ideas on how/where you can look for volunteer translators of your pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

And a personal note: one of the worst types of work I know as a professional translation is MTPE (Machine Translation Post Editing) in situations where I know that my feedback won’t be used to improve the model used.
