Polyglots update

Things are very quiet over at Polyglots and requests for new languages have not been very frequent over the last couple of months. There are some things, however, worth noting going on though:

  • 6 Rosetta requests have been deployedDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server, so that it's available to visitors.
  • Translators have been prepared for Language Packs and how WordPress 3.7 will start to change the Translation Landscape.
  • During the WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. Europe Contributor’s day lots of small things related to the international sites and forums were discussed and some were even fixed on the spot
  • Marko Heijnen lead the first GlotPress meeting during WordCamp Europe and they came up with the following: A lot of validators and translators were present and they discussed the future roadmap for GlotPress. They came up with a list that has been posted on the GlotPress blog. The idea is to solve most of the issue this year. There is a dependency on necessary  UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. changes that can make it a bit tricky  to handle issues properly. Help from a more UI minded contributor is going to be needed.

Polyglots Team Update 12th December

Last week

Since we didn’t have a group chat/hangout yet, we have no decisions to report. Otherwise: rush to have 3.5 ready in as many languages as possible, some doubts cleared as to validation permissions, bug identified in GlotPress string counting.

Next week

Schedule a weekly group chat/hangout. On the agenda:

  • Inclusion of locale activity on the user profiles
  • Global.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ — should it exist and if so what does it look like?
  • Strategy for reviving locale forums with the 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/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party format
  • Updates to the rosetta theme to match wordpress.org
  • Review team reps voting results
