Setting a clearer guideline for dealing with inactive translations

Summary

Modify the existing Inactive Translations process so that a simple rejection without feedback for improvement is not enough to be considered as an “active” involvement.

Background

The steps for reactivating completely unresponsive 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 are described in this handbook article: Inactive Translations.

However, that doc doesn’t cover the situation where their translation review & 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 are rejected without enough assistance.

Meeting Expectations for Polyglots TeamPolyglots Team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing copy. https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/.

As stated in our General Expectations page, translators for a locale are expected to work together as a team so that 1) the effort is sustainable, and 2) the quality is improved through cross-checking and establishing standards (e.g. glossary/style guide).

Locale managers should not only check the validity of suggestions but also help others become a part of their team by providing a guideline. If they feel they don’t have the bandwidth to do so, that’s a good sign it’s time for expanding the team.

Proposal for Change

Change this part:

Sometimes, individuals start translating WordPress but aren’t able to complete it or keep the translations up to date. When this happens, the contributor might be considered “inactive” and the translation needs to be kickstarted by a new contributor, who can be added as a 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, see: General Translation Editor Project Translation Editor .

To this:

Sometimes, individuals start translating WordPress but aren’t able to complete it or keep all the translation projects up to date. In some cases, review requests are left without attention or simply rejected without clear explanation.

When this happens, the contributor might be considered “inactive” and the translation needs to be kickstarted by a new contributor, who can be added as a translation editor.

We follow all of the current Cross-Locale PTE requirements:

Make sure that the translators they hire use the community style guides and glossaries, or create ones based on them and provide public links.

We require our translators to adhere by all official guidelines – https://translate.wordpress.com/glossaries-and-style-guides/

Disclose the sources of translation (e.g. translation vendor) and reviewers (.org username).

We use Poedit for offline translation as well as translate.wordpress.orgtranslate.wordpress.org The platform for contributing to the translation of WordPress core, themes and plugins..

Create a new account for this role rather than using a personal one, and fill in the profile page with contact information so that the local translation team can get a hold of them.
