Inactive projects in the consistency tool

When you look for some stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. in the consistency tool, you get a list with the different translations in a 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/.

Today I released a small improvement to flag the inactive projects. E.g., if you look for “Save Changes” in Galician language, you will get a small flag with the “(inactive)” text to reflect that some projects are no longer active, but it is interesting to show them in the tool, so you can see the different translations used over the years.

Props @nilovelez for raising this improvement.

Hi polyglots I would like to request commit…

Hi polyglots!

I would like to request commit access to the 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. SVNSVN Apache Subversion (often abbreviated SVN, after its command name svn) is a software versioning and revision control system. Software developers use Subversion to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation. Its goal is to be a mostly compatible successor to the widely used Concurrent Versions System (CVS). WordPress core and the wordpress.org released code are all centrally managed through SVN. https://subversion.apache.org/. for /lv/ subfolder. My username is orvils

I am the validatorValidator See translation editor. for the Latvian language and I need to remove WPLANG from wp-config-sample.php so I can build the new version.

I am new to WordPress so if I am missing something, please point me to the right direction

Hello In case you haven’t noticed WordPress org…

Hello,
In case you haven’t noticed, WordPress.org profile redesign is up. People can now get badges for their contributions. Here is an example for polyglots https://profiles.wordpress.org/vanillalounge/.
@vanillalounge I assume that you have access to the list of people currently contributing in make/polyglots. Could you please send it to someone in 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. (probably Ian Dunn), so that we can get those shiny new badges? 😀 Thanks

WordPress translationion teams

Hi guys,
All of us here belong to the WordPress translating community and many know how frustrating the translating process is. WordPress has more than 3,300 stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. (+500 for MultiSiteMultisite Multisite is a WordPress feature which allows users to create a network of sites on a single WordPress installation. Available since WordPress version 3.0, Multisite is a continuation of WPMU or WordPress Multiuser project. WordPress MultiUser project was discontinued and its features were included into WordPress core.https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network.), it’s just too much.

I think that the translators community has to be more involved in the development process to reduce the strings ammount and improve it’s quality. WordPress tracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. already have a few interesting ideas like:

  • Consolidate string with same meaning but different wording (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14039)
  • Merge similar string (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18218)
  • Replace/Remove html code entities (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7098#comment:10)

I would like to hear more ideas, based on your experience, how do you think we can improve the translating process and/or reduce the strings ammount? (you can add your trac tickets)
