Translation style guides and glossaries: I created a draft Codex page for Translation Resources. The goal is to improve multilingualization. Would you mind sanity-checking/adding links for your language? Feel free to drop them in comments or edit the Codex draft page. Particularly curious about Dutch, Turkish, and Indonesian resources (did not find any links). I appreciate your help and feedback on this!

I want the minimum language links on every documentation page.
If we are here to translate, I wonder why there is no languages template included by default on every single CODEX page, to make easier adding other languages, and to remember that those pages are yet to be translated into those aforementioned languages

On Codex i18n: an suggestion :)

Hello, I just thought that Translate extension can help on Codex i18nInternationalization Internationalization (sometimes shortened to I18N , meaning “I - eighteen letters -N”) is the process of planning and implementing products and services so that they can easily be adapted to specific local languages and cultures, a process called localization. This is the process of making software translatable. Information about Internationalization for developers can be found in the Developer’s handbooks.. This extension provide an GlotpressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org.-like interface to translate stable docs. This page is an example, the top link Translate this page lead to the translation interface. Though languages must be added prior to users submit translations, just like the wiki concept there is no need to approve every translations by default, that is, the translation works like editing a wiki article.

Not sure if someone noticed but the KDE project and Translatewiki.net use this extension 🙂

“Welcome Forum” needs to translate into Polish

I want to translate some peac of the codex and forums, Particularly those that are so-called rules of posting on the forum.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code

Little by little, it gets confusing. It will be useful to those who do not speak English.

Hi, is there a way to have RTL in Codex pages?

Is it OK if in localized *.po/mo filesMO files MO, or Machine Object is a binary data file that contains object data referenced by a program. It is typically used to translate program code, and may be loaded or imported into the GNU gettext program. This is the format used in a WordPress install. These files are normally located inside .../wp-content/languages/ I change codex page links to localized/translated ones (in this case to codex pages translated to Croatian), or any other links?

Forum moderators

Given that many of us here double as forum moderators for our own languages, I would like to encourage all to keep informed about what is going on over at https://make.wordpress.org/support. Please feel free to contribute your own opinion, which is not only welcome, but actually needed.

One of the first examples of what you can use on your own forums is the list of Stock Answers to common problems of users not following the posting rules on the forums. The conversation which gave birth to that is here, do read it.

I suggest that each language’s moderation team should translate those answers to their own language and use them on their forums, adapting the links to their own version of the Codex, if one exists. Come to think of it, it would be brilliant if the forum rules were to exist for every language that has a forum.

A conversation about the Codex has also just begun and I think that this is the perfect opportunity to have the issues of localesLocale 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/ other than English addressed from the start.

In order to post on that blog, you will need to be added to it. Should you want to, please let me know, so that I can do that (keep in mind that only forum moderators will be added)

An issue has come up on the documentation mailing list, concerning the links (invalid and dead) on this Codex page. This is a call to help out on the section that concerns your country and language. Who’s up for it? Thanks.

Hi, I’ve started translating Codex to Croatian language, and I’ve translated Main page: https://codex.wordpress.org/User:Yuraz/Main_Page
So if anyone can approve this and add Croatian language to Codex that would be great, so I can continue to translate the rest of Codex.

Is it OK for local sites not to be direct translations of the English one, but to be organized in a different manner?

A VERY determined spammer has been hacking away at
https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language on the Codex.
We’ve tried a variety of ways to stop him, but he keeps on, including
contacting one of the volunteers directly and complaining that his
spammy links were removed and his account closed. He just opened a new
account and kept going. He does not have a word of WordPress anywhere
on his site and nor in the links to the mobile ads that he is stuffing
into that article. We’re looking at ways to stop him more permanently,
but his fascination with that article has caused us to protect it and
blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. access to only admins for the next few months.

During that time, if you have something to add or edit on that page,
if any of you have admin status with the Codex, you will be able to
access the page. If not, please contact us on the
mailing list, or me directly, and we’ll
help.

Our fear is that he will target other pages on the Codex, so we are
looking at other serious options, but we just wanted you to know about
that page as it is so critical to your work that it be maintained and
updated. We’re sorry for the inconvenience. We’ll let you know if
anything changes on that. Thanks!!
