Looking for a Urdu translation reviewer for Learn WordPress content

One of the Training Team members translated the following content for Learn WordPress into Urdu, and we are looking for someone to review the translation before it is published: https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3613.

It is a complete Beginner WordPress User course, covering 24 lessons divided into modules. Yes, it is a big volume of words, and that is why we must make sure the review process produces content of the best possible quality, following all the rules (style guides, dictionaries…).

Could you recommend someone to review the translation (https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/training-team-how-to-guides/content-localization/translation-reviews/) for us? Thanks!

Hi polyglots. I have used…

Hi polyglots. I have used and contributed to WordPress for nearly two decades now. This ends with 7.0, which enables and encourages technologies that are demonstrably detrimental to the internet, the environment and the groundwater — in short, the planet. I cannot in good conscience volunteer for a project that elects to contribute to virtual as well as very real pollution.

I ask that my 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.

Thereafter, I expect that I will be able to delete my profile. I see no way to do that now.

Thank you for your good work.

Hello Polyglots team,

My name is Abdullah, and I’m the owner of GSheetConnector. We actively work with the WordPress translation ecosystem and regularly deal with POT, PO, and MO workflows for plugins and themes.

We recently built a tool called POForge (https://poforge.com), which is a browser-based utility designed to work with standard WordPress POT files and generate PO and MO files for local testing and review. The goal is not to replace existing tools or GlotPress, but to provide a lightweight, manual-first workflow for editorial, contributors, developers and translators who need to quickly validate or test translations in a real WordPress environment.

Before going further, we would really value feedback from the Polyglots community on:

  • Whether a tool like this fits into real-world WordPress translation workflows
  • If there are gaps in current tooling that POForge could help address
  • Any risks or concerns with such an approach from a Polyglots perspective

If anyone is open to reviewing it or sharing workflow feedback, it would be extremely helpful in making sure the tool aligns with WordPress localizationLocalization Localization (sometimes shortened to "l10n") is the process of adapting a product or service to a particular language, culture, and desired local "look-and-feel." best practices.

Thank you for your time and for all the work you do for the WordPress translation community.

Best regards,
Abdullah

Glossary Entry: Handling HTML Entities in Translations

**Term:** HTMLHTML HTML is an acronym for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is a markup language that is used in the development of web pages and websites. Entities

**Description:**

  • When translating WordPress plugins and themes, certain HTML entities must be preserved exactly as in the original source.
  • Do **not** replace these entities with normal quotation marks (`”`) or apostrophes (`’`) or other characters during translation.
  • Reason: These entities ensure safe and correct rendering and parsing of HTML markup. Incorrect substitutions can lead to XSS vulnerabilities, broken rendering, JSONJSON JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a minimal, readable format for structuring data. It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, as an alternative to XML. parsing errors, or other technical issues.

**Common HTML Entities to Preserve:**

  • &`#8220;` — Left double quotation mark (“)
  • &`#8221;` — Right double quotation mark (”)
  • &`#8217` — Right single quotation mark / apostrophe (’)
  • &`lt;` — Less than sign ()
  • &`amp;` — Ampersand (&)

**Example:**
Original stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings.:
`Note: If “Blog profile only” mode is enabled…`

Correct translation must keep the entities intact:

Request to unify Korean locale slug as “ko” (remove redundant “_KR”)

Hello 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/,

I’d like to request unifying the Korean WordPress 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/ slug to simply `ko`, instead of `#ko_KR`.

According to international language standards such as IETF BCP 47, the primary language subtag `”ko”` is already sufficient to indicate Standard Korean as spoken in South Korea. The `”KR”` regional subtag is unnecessary unless differentiating between variants, such as North Korean (`ko_KP`) or other dialectal forms (e.g., Yanbian Korean).

GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org. already uses `”ko”` as the language slug, and many parts of the WordPress translation infrastructure (e.g., `html_lang_attributesms` in 6.8.x) reflect this with `ko-KR`. Unifying under the base `”ko”` would:

  • Reflect established international standards
  • Reduce redundancy
  • Clarify that this locale refers to the standard form of Korean
  • Allow for clean differentiation if variants are ever needed in the future

Please consider this change to improve consistency and alignment with global practices.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
@kimjiwoon
