Requesting to opt out

Hi everyone 👋

So I’ve been translating the strings of my locale (Sinhala) years ago when I was schooling, but I actually couldn’t contribute to this properly in years. And I don’t think I’d be able to validate the translations any time soon.

So I’d really appreciate it if you can unsubscribe me from the weekly email notification. Thank you 🙂

Hi.

I have some thoughts on translations. Here are some examples: “Jetpack Search”, “Jetpack Scan”, “Jetpack Professional”, “Happiness Engineers”, “Jetpack Mobile Theme” and “WordPress Webinars”? Should these be translated or not? Sometimes these are translated and sometimes not translated.

Another example is: “Plan” In Swedish I always use the translation “Paket”. But I notice that the word “Plan” also appears. It is not only in old existing translations it occurs it is also in newly added strings.

Hi.

I have a small question about translations.
I have noted that some translations I have made have been changed or replaced by someone else who is not a validator. Sometimes these changes do not follow the glossary or the style guide for the local language. Also, minor grammatical mistakes sometimes occur. Everyone can make mistakes and I am definitely one of them. I really appreciate when someone notices and corrects the mistakes I made.

Sometimes it feels like a bit of a waste of time after spending many hours and days translating strings and finding that a lot of the strings you translated are replaced (with the things described above). As a validator, I want to make sure that there are no strings that are pending, fuzzy or have warnings. I try to do this several times a week. I also try to translate as much as possible with the goal of reaching 100% (at least 85%) for all themes. I have absolutely no problems with not continuing to be a validator. It would actually feel a little easier and save me time and work.

I really don’t want to make anyone feel guilty and apologize if someone feels offended.

I just want to know if it is me who misunderstood or missed something.

Korean Theme Validation

@martian36, would you be able to help us validate some theme translations for Korean? It’s for the Venture theme. In order for the translations to be deployed, 85% of the strings have been translated. There are only 28 waiting translations that need to be validated.

Hi all! I have a question regarding the main translation page.

When I use the filter like this with a term Your cart is awaiting payment:

translation_filter

It says No translations were found! even though this term exists when I log into my WordPress.com dashboard.

Is there anything that I’m doing wrong? 🙂

Hey folks! In preparation of…

Hey folks! In preparation of my maternity leave, can I please ask you to remove me from the weekly WordPress.com translation email feed I receive on a weekly basis?

As that will be only temporary, and I do support the cause, I’d like to remain a validator for Italian.
If I need to be removed as validator while pausing the email notifications–it seems like that way by reading Naoko’s comment on the latest thread below–then I’d rather prefer keeping the emails incoming 🙂

Hi there! I do not…

Hi there! I do not want to get the “Weekly translation validator report” anymore as I have stopped being a translation validator for years now. Could you please remove me from this list. Thank you very much.
