Translate WordPress

Welcome to the official blog of the translators team for the WordPress open source project.

This is where we discuss all things related to translating WordPress. Follow our progress for general updates, status reports, and debates.

We’d love for you to help out.

#global-wordpress-translation-day-2, #gwtd, #translate-wordpress, #translation-day

The first Global WordPress Translation Day was so much fun and made a real difference for us as a global team. That’s why on November 12th, we’re doing it again and everyone can join!

What are we doing?

Local translation contributor days – as many as possible (last time we had more than 50, let’s beat that!)
Remote events for as many languages as possible to support contributors who would like to join from their home
24 hours of live streaming sessions about localization and internationalization (L10n and i18n).

Who are the sessions for?

New contributors who would like to learn how to translate WordPress in their language
New and experienced translation editors – the sessions will have useful tips and advice how to build and maintain a strong translation team
Developers who would like to find translators for their projects – the sessions will teach you how to work with the polyglots team and how to build a translation community around your products
Developers who would like to learn how to prepare their plugins and themes for localization
Everyone who would like to learn how translations work in WordPress and get a general idea of the work of the Polyglots team.

When is it happening?

On November 12th, 2016, starting at exactly 0:00 UTC.

See when the event starts for you!

Why are we doing it?

To have fun and get to know each other better.
To encourage more translation contributors to get involved and expand the WordPress Polyglots team
To improve the general understanding of how WordPress deals with translations among the development community
To create strong connections between the plugin and theme authors and the WordPress translation community

Seems I have insufficient rights (I thought I had) to add someone to a locale team. Could someone please add user macmhicheil to the Scottish Gaelic team with translator rights? Or alternatively, bump up my rights so I can deal with this myself? Thanks

Hi WP team, is it possible to add the swiss french language in the next wp release ?
It’s basiclly the same as french (France) but would be really helpfull for SEO etc to be able to choose for fr-CH instead of fr-FR.

Thank you

Hi,

I would like to know how I can get in touch with the current editors of the Kazakhstan Groups as I have a lot of Kazakh students (Native Kazakh speakers) who are very proficient in English and are ideal candidates to help with this translation project…

I have not yet managed to find a way contact them and can see that it has been many months since anything has been approved and the last time anyone even submitted a recommendation was 3 weeks. ago.

To this end – I am wondering if we can recommended a few individuals for editing and then I can get my students cracking translating for the new editors to have something to check and approve.

Many thanks in advance for a prompt response – we need to get the momentum going again! 🙂

Best wishes,

Darren
