Gutenshop

Hi friends. We are the authors of Gutenshop: https://wordpress.org/themes/gutenshop/
We have found a handful of great translators and will be translating our newest eCommerce theme. Please add @themeeverest as PTEProject Translation Editor A Project Translation Editor (often referred to as PTE) is a person, who has access to validate strings on a specific project (for example BuddyPress, WooCommerce or Twenty Fourteen) for one specific locale. A project translation editor can approve strings that are added by translation contributors. Per project translation, editors are appointed by a general translation editor after a request by the project author or by the contributors themselves. for this theme 🙂

This is our first request, please let us know if we can do anything better

Do you really know well all these languages?

Just like a committer has the responsibility to ensure that code is correct, a PTEProject Translation Editor A Project Translation Editor (often referred to as PTE) is a person, who has access to validate strings on a specific project (for example BuddyPress, WooCommerce or Twenty Fourteen) for one specific locale. A project translation editor can approve strings that are added by translation contributors. Per project translation, editors are appointed by a general translation editor after a request by the project author or by the contributors themselves. has the role of checking that translations are correct and follow the General expectations ( https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/translating/expectations/ ) for translations, and also correctly use agreed glossary terms and style ( https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/tools/glotpress-translate-wordpress-org/list-of-glossaries-per-locale/ ) for the target language.

If there would be any issues with translations, the relevant 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/ team ( https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/ ) might want to get in contact with the PTE, for instance via chat ( https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/about/teams/local-slacks/ ).
For this reason, it’s usually much better to nominate specific people to this role, rather than using a “company account”.

If you’re using professional translations with assured quality that follow the abovementioned guides, then you might instead consider applying for the role Cross-Locale PTE ( https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/rosetta/roles-and-capabilities/#cross-locale-project-translation-editor )

sorry, we cannot satify your request for #ru_RU
1. You are requesting too much localesLocale 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/ at once,
As theme author, you must be interested in good quality translations,
human-made by native speakers. Its the best to appoint such people as PTEProject Translation Editor A Project Translation Editor (often referred to as PTE) is a person, who has access to validate strings on a specific project (for example BuddyPress, WooCommerce or Twenty Fourteen) for one specific locale. A project translation editor can approve strings that are added by translation contributors.

2. no translated stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. as samples, none at all.

Everything else , see comment above.

¡Hola @themeeverest!

Thanks for wanting to contribute to the es_ES translation! You can take a look at this page where there is more info on how we handle PTEProject Translation Editor A Project Translation Editor (often referred to as PTE) is a person, who has access to validate strings on a specific project (for example BuddyPress, WooCommerce or Twenty Fourteen) for one specific locale.

You can get in touch with us joining the #traductores-plugins channel in the Spanish Community Slack. Also remember to take a look at our Guía de traductores where we describe the best practices and recommendations for creating a perfect 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." for plugins and themes.

¡Gracias!

Seems like we misunderstood how the translation request works!
We’re in touch with a bunch of translators, they’ll be helping out, I don’t speak 5 different languages sadly 🙂

I guess we’ll take it one language at a time, starting with Danish and then request it for multiple themes, that seems to be a better way to do this.

Sorry for wasting your time!

  No problem.
  Your request has now been marked as done and thus goes “off-the-radar”.
  For logging purposes, I reverted the post itself back to previous state.
  
  Suggestion is that whoever translates also is registered as a user on wp-org and makes/uploads the translation themselves to translate.wordpress.orgtranslate.wordpress.org The platform for contributing to the translation of WordPress core, themes and plugins.. If the quality is good, then the 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/ teams will happily grant these translators PTEProject Translation Editor A Project Translation Editor (often referred to as PTE) is a person, who has access to validate strings on a specific project (for example BuddyPress, WooCommerce or Twenty Fourteen) for one specific locale.

  You may make request to assign someone PTE status here, but if the translator already is in direct contact with the relevant team (for instance via SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/.), then it’s actually quicker and more convenient to handle that step directly within the language team.
  
  Please share the links I gave above with your translators, that may help them finding the right people and terms to get things right already from start.

  No problem, but better use real people that should be translating instead of just one username, also I should like to ask how is going to translate to pt_BR to join our local slackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/., so we can discuss about translations.

    In fact this theme doesn’t even seems to be optimized properly for translations… StringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. like ` | Theme by` and `. All rights reserved.` are very bad, easy to generate problems with RTL languages too, also there is strings including a lot of empty spaces that are converted into `→ ` in the GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org..
    So probably will be good revise the theme’s code first.
