Local Slack Teams

As of June 2026, 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, WordCamps, and WordPress communities can create their own focused channels in the global WordPress 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/ by filing a request in  #community-slack-migration.

These can be for teams, communities, or general talk and announcements. For example:

  • General chat in Spanish: #general-es
  • Communities in China: #wp-china
  • Italian Translations Team: #polyglots-it
  • A channel for managing Italian Translations 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. requests: #polyglots-it-pte

If you’re curious about naming conventions and other specifics, learn more in the Meta handbook

If you find an error or would like your team to be added, please report it in the #polyglots Slack channel or post a request on make/polyglots.

Local teams often use Slack as a tool for communication around translations and local community events. Here is a list of local Slack teams that you can use to connect with your local community.

Note that for most teams, an @chat.wordpress.org address is the easiest way to register. If you don’t have one yet, log in to wordpress.org and join the global Slack space for WordPress contributors via the special button at make.wordpress.org/chat/. This will, as a side-effect, create a special email address on the format your-username@chat.wordpress.org which will forward notifications and login codes from Slack to the email you’ve got registered in your profile.

Screenshot from https://make.wordpress.org/chat/ with the button to join Slack.

As owner of a slack you can allow all people with an @chat.wordpress.org account to join. Just follow these instructions.
