The suggestions cover:

  • Stable
  • Stable Readme
  • Development
  • Development Readme

All suggestions were submitted as Waiting. I am not requesting 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.

Per project translation, editors are appointed by a general translation editor after a request by the project author or by the contributors themselves. access; I would only appreciate a review by the respective 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.

New inline Approve/Reject/Fuzzy action buttons to the translation editor

The translation editorTranslation 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 row list has a new column to the right of “Details” with three icon buttons:

  • +: approve the suggestion
  • -: reject the suggestion
  • ~: mark as fuzzy

The buttons appear only to validators on the translation set. Buttons that do not apply to a row are hidden: already-current rows have no Approve, rejected rows have no Reject, fuzzy rows have no Fuzzy. Untranslated rows show no buttons. Clicking a button saves the new status and replaces the row in place. The editor does not open.

The feature is enabled by default. To turn it off, check “Hide the inline action buttons in the translation editor” in the “ValidatorValidator See translation editor. settings” section of translate.wordpress.org/settings/.

Inspired by a similar feature in GlotDict.

OpenAI’s gpt-5.4 and gpt-5.5 models are available at translate.wordpress.org

The list of OpenAI models offered at translate.wordpress.org/settings/ has been updated. The previous twelve-model list is now down to the five current models, grouped by price tier:

  • Expensive: gpt-5.5-pro
  • Medium: gpt-5.5, gpt-5.4
  • Cheap: gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.4-nano

If your account had one of the older models selected (gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-4, gpt-4-turbo, gpt-4o-mini, gpt-4o, gpt-4.1-nano, gpt-4.1-mini, gpt-4.1, gpt-5-nano, gpt-5-mini, gpt-5, or gpt-5.1), it has been migrated automatically to gpt-5.4-nano, the cheapest one. You can change it at any time on the settings page.

Added a validation top bar (and an opt-out) in the translation editor

Validators in the translation editorTranslation 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 often jump to the Discussion or Others tab to check context before acting on a stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings.. The problem: the Approve, Reject, and Fuzzy buttons only live in the MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. panel, so the moment you leave that tab, the action buttons disappear. You have to switch back just to act on what you came to act on.

I have added a fixed top bar inside the translation editor that mirrors those buttons. It stays visible regardless of the tab you are on, so you can approve, reject, or mark a string as fuzzy without leaving Discussion or Others.

How it works

  • The bar appears when you open a translation row, and it disappears when you close it.
  • Each button is a clone of the original in the Meta panel, so clicking it triggers the same action. The behavior is identical; only the position is different.
  • The Reject and Fuzzy buttons keep their colored symbols, so the bar reads the same way the Meta panel does.
  • The × button on the right hides the bar until you reload the page or move to a new one.

Opt-out

Not everyone wants the bar. If you prefer the old behavior, there is a per-user setting to disable it permanently.

You will find it in your settings page, under “Translate settings“, as a checkbox labeled “Hide the validation top bar in the translation editor”. Tick it, save, and the bar will stop loading on any translation page the next time you will reload the page.

The setting only appears for users who are validators somewhere: global administrators, 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/ Managers, GTEs, or PTEs. Regular translators do not see the bar in the first place, so they do not see the setting either.

Feedback

If something does not work as you expect, or if you would like other actions mirrored in the bar, please leave a comment. Bug reports and ideas are welcome.

The relevant commits are 5f27f29 (the top bar) and 9e0ee24 (the opt-out).

WordPress 7.0 ready to be translated

WordPress 7.0, scheduled for April 9, 2026, is now ready to be translated on translate.wordpress.orgtranslate.wordpress.org The platform for contributing to the translation of WordPress core, themes and plugins.!

If you’re looking to work on the latest translations, you’ll find them in the development projects. Also, everything for the WordPress 6.9 version is now available in its own project, which you can access here.

WordPress 7.0 introduces several new stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings.. Translations that were previously completed for the GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ project have been copied to the new project. This means that fewer new strings should need translating.

Let’s embrace the joy of translating together, thank you! 🌏🌍🌎
