# May 9th Support Team Meeting Summary

WordPress 5.2 was released, and so far a few recurring issues have popped up, but
a relatively quiet release so far. The recurring issues have all been added to the
[core Trac](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/), and will be tackled in an upcoming
release of WordPress.

The [Master List](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-wordpress-5-2-master-list/)
has also been updated with any relevant steps for users to follow.

As we like numbers, we can tell that it’s been fairly quiet on the forums in terms
of new topics, despite the new release, the graph below shows the progression of
topics created since March 1st until March 16th.

Graphs can be hard to interpret though, although a visible but vague jump, so here’s
the number values:

The week before release we saw 5,178 new topics, with 10,699 replies.
The week following
the release, we saw 7,884 new topics, with 17,235 replies.

## Checking in with international liaisons

Members of the Swedish, Russian, Dutch, Indian, Italian, Spanish, Greek and Urdu
communities were taking part in the post-update chatting.

Some are also translating the master list into the various languages, which is a
huge benefit, and we thank them for their efforts!

## Open floor

[@tobifjellner](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tobifjellner/) had a trick for any
translators working on the health check pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software
containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can
extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins
are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress.
These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party.

> If anyone wants to catch up with translations of Health-Check, note that you get
> a lot of strings for free if you export WP/dev/admin as mo-file and then import
> into the Health Check plugin.
