Join the New Locale Request Sprint for WP Translation Day

One reason Polyglots celebrate Translation Day is to raise awareness around translating WordPress. Even though translate.wordpress.org currently supports more than 200 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/ into which WordPress can be translated, people still regularly submit requests on the Make/Polyglots blog for additional language versions!

According to Ethnologue, there are about 7,000 languages spoken in the world!

Of course we’re interested in adding these new languages to our platform. However, before a language can be added, quite a few checks need to be done to make sure that everything is right, such as information about the language, what script it uses, how plural forms are handled, and so on. At in-person contributor days, Polyglots contributors often helped to review these new requests, checking for all the necessary information and helping to move them to the next steps. 

However, the last two years have had almost no such in-person contribution days, and this task has in reality been paused, for too long! Now that we’re celebrating WordPress Translation Day 2021 virtually, it is a great time to come together (virtually) and move this task forward.

Who can help

Experienced Polyglots contributors! New Polyglots are welcome to help as well, but it’s helpful to have some previous Polyglots experience and/or experience with contributing to your own 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/. 

If you’re new to Polyglots and looking for a way to get involved, you can find some helpful ideas in the Participate in your own time section.

How to help

The last few open requests are visible in the sidebarSidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme. on our Make/Polyglots blog, along with this link that brings you the full list.

Polyglots Global Mentors and contributors typically review each new locale request to check for a few things:

  • The locale doesn’t already exist and is, in fact, needed
  • The information related to the language is complete and accurate
  • There are enough people interested in helping to translate WordPress into that language
  • Encoding the system parameters needed to define the new locale in WordPress’ system

You can see examples from completed locale requests, which are a useful way to learn how others have approached requests in the past. 

When you’re ready to help review a locale request, make sure you’re familiar with and follow the steps in:

The goal is to make sure the information provided is accurate and complete, and that the person making the request has the interest and support to move forward with translating WordPress into this language. In other words, the goal isn’t to blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. anyone but to ask questions, be curious, and help guide contributors to the best solution.

Once a locale request has been fully reviewed and approved, it needs to be added to GlotPress. You can do this by opening an issue with the relevant information, following this format. Please open only one issue or pull request per locale, and be sure to track any information in the related spreadsheet.

When to help

This will be an asynchronous sprint taking place from September 17 to 30, 2021, during the WordPress Translation Day global events. That means you can help whenever you have time! Just follow the instructions above, and be sure to log what you’re working on in this spreadsheet. We’ll be using this spreadsheet to track our progress over the course of these two weeks and to help keep track of which requests are being worked on.

If you have any questions or need help along the way, please leave a comment on this post or ask in the #polyglots channel on the Making WordPress Slack. This way, we can share all the information in one place, and your questions will help others contributing, too!

WordPress Translation Day 2021 Planning (Call for Organizers)

Now that it’s been about a month since the Proposal: Month-long Translation Day 2021 celebration post and as the month of September approaches, I wanted to write this post to kick start the planning process.

Duration/Format

How about trying a month-long celebration with 2 weeks of “coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. events” time format? With the core time from Friday, September 17 – Thursday, September 30, covering the International Translation Day.

The above image is available on Figma – create a copy and translate it to share the plan with your team

Many comments on the post agreed that a month-long format will give flexibility to 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. But it’s pointed out that there’s also a risk in resulting burnout and loss of focus.

By having local teams schedule their contributor event on any day in September but concentrating global events* into the 2 weeks, you only have to be aware of your locale event plus what’s happening with the global Polyglots TeamPolyglots Team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing copy. https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/. for a shorter period of time.

* By “global events”, I’m referring to events held in English and targeted to all language speakers. We welcome your suggestions and ideas for these!

Call for Organizers

Proposal: Month-long Translation Day 2021 celebration

Every September 30th, International Translation Day celebrates the importance and impact of translators. For several years, many 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/ and the global Polyglots teamPolyglots Team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing copy. https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/. have organized events on or around this date to celebrate those who make WordPress available in multiple languages: Polyglots contributors!

Last year, the Polyglots team and Marketing team worked closely together to organize virtual events around Translation Day. We saw community members organize more than twenty mini-translation events to encourage new translators, celebrate accomplishments, and connect with other Polyglots.

While September may seem far away, I’d like to share a proposal so we can start planning early for Translation Day 2021. Starting now will help all the teams involved promote events, plan for resources, and support even more locales to take part.

Translation Day 2021

Though we planned to celebrate Translation Week in 2020, some 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 continued the celebration for weeks by hosting regular Zoom meetings to hang out and translate together. (I’m looking at you, @nilovelez!) It was really moving to see the excitement and to have so many opportunities to connect during a year when we weren’t able to celebrate together in person.

For Translation Day 2021, I’d like to suggest that we host events throughout the entire month of September. In other words, let’s do a translation month! I know, a month sounds like a long time. However, the goal is to create more flexibility for locale teams to host an event at a time that works best for their local community at some point in September.

On a global level, the Polyglots and Marketing teams can work together to organize a weekly event each Thursday throughout the month. Ideally, these events would alternate by timezone, just like the Polyglots weekly meetings. That might look like:

  • Thurs, Sept. 2: Start the month-long celebration with a resource document that includes guides on how to start contributing. @nao also suggested hosting sessions for the Polyglots Training course at this time, too.
  • Thurs, Sept. 9: Panel
  • Thurs, Sept. 16: Panel
  • Thurs, Sept. 23: Panel
  • Thurs, Sept. 30: Close with a live stream event and recap post.

We could use these globally organized events to host panels or interviews to talk with contributors from multiple locales. We can even invite contributors from other open sourceOpen Source Open Source denotes software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified. Open Source **must be** delivered via a licensing model, see GPL. translation projects to share their experiences as well.

What do you think?

Translation Day is an excellent opportunity for Polyglots contributors to reflect on what we’ve accomplished throughout the year and celebrate making WordPress accessible in other languages. With all of that in mind, it would be helpful to know:

  • What do you think of the idea of a month-long celebration?
  • Does this help you with planning a local Translation Day event?
  • For the globally organized events, would you be interested in hearing about any specific topics?
  • If you don’t like the idea of hosting events throughout the month, do you prefer a week-long celebration? A single day?

Any feedback or thoughts you have are welcome!

If you would like some inspiration or haven’t participated in a Translation Day before, check out last year’s events. You can also find a whole playlist of all the streaming events organized last year.

A big thanks to @webcommsat, @tobifjellner, and @nao for helping to write, review, and share feedback on this proposal.

It is shaping up to be a great celebration week.

What is planned?

The United Nations has designated 30 September 2020 as International Translation Day, building on foundations previously laid by the International Federation of Translators.

A number of WordPress locales, mainly across Asia at this stage, are planning mini events to take place around that date. Some other meetups are planning mini translation events for a date in November 2020, potentially focusing around a WordPress contributing event. 

This means exciting opportunities arising for existing contributors in all parts of the worldwide WordPress community. Also, these mini events create opportunities for new translators to connect with other polyglots. All this activity will make WordPress available to even more people on a truly global basis. 

This year we have had celebrations and mini-events inspired by the global WordPress Translation Day in the Bengali, French, Italian language communities.

Linking in with international themed days or major WordPress events is a great way to recruit and re-engage contributors to our community. It’s a good opportunity for your team to raise awareness for translating WordPress and to help onboard new contributors. You may even use the time to take care of pending translation or documentation projects that you’ve been putting off! The really great part is that you will have polyglots across the world to inspire and encourage you in this shared enterprise.

Unlike previous WordPress Translation Day events, there will not be a global 24-hour live streaming for this initiative as events will be spread out across a longer time period. We are exploring video conferencing aspects with locales. Coverage of the week of events will feature on WordPress Translation Day social media channels and on the polyglots-events channel on the Make WordPress Slack. We will also promote opportunities to get involved in the polyglot, community and marketing channels on Slack.

Some locales are planning a mini event for later in the year too. The marketing and polyglots teams are co-ordinating a diary of planned events. The earlier we know, the more we can help you. 😀

We will also be cross-promoting the first WordPress Accessibility Day which is on 2-3 October 2020. Two great events to promote inclusion and diversity in the community. #WPDiversity

How You Can Get Involved

Organize or Join a MeetupMeetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through https://www.meetup.com/. A meetup is typically a chance for local WordPress users to get together and share new ideas and seek help from one another. Searching for ‘WordPress’ on meetup.com will help you find options in your area. Event

Your event can be for just a few hours, a week long celebration with drop-in times on days within the week, across a weekend or be more theme-based. Let us know what you are planning. We have been working alongside many locales on their initial ideas during the last few weeks with support on running events and marketing. International Translation Day falls on a weekday. However, you should choose the day, time and format that’s best for your community. After all, you know your own locales best, so go with what works for you. Some suggestions could involve:

  1. A short contributor event (even if just a few hours), day or evening time
  2. A half-day event on the weekend before or after the International Translation Day itself
  3. Celebrating it throughout the week by inviting people to one of the channels on your local Slack
  4. Holding a video discussion meeting to talk out concerns, questions, or ideas around translation projects in your locale
  5. Picking a project to finish together and working on it
  6. Or, any other format! Be creative 🙂

Some examples of the planned events. There is room for plenty more across the global WordPress community:

  • Bhutanese event, using the national language Dzongkha
  • Tamil language event
  • Venezuelan Spanish event
  • Japanese event organized by WordPress Tokyo
  • Bengaluru WordPress Meetup group in Bangalore, India, using the Kannada language
  • event in Mumbai, India, using Hindi, other Indian languages also welcome
  • event in Kerala, India
  • event in Kolkata, India
  • event in Indonesia

Just Translate on Your Own

If organizing a contributor event is not something you want to do, or your locale is not doing anything for you to join in with, you can still mark the day by translating something!

  • Join Make WordPress Slack #polyglots-events and say hi! It would be good to share what you are doing and why (a simple statement, such as, “In celebration of International Translation Day, I’m translating XX (project name) into XX (locale language) today!” is enough) and tell us your city or district
  • Use #WPTranslationDay hashtag to share what you have been doing on social media

I would be interested in running a mini translation event, where do I start?

Join us at 7am UTC this Friday 11 September 2020, on the polyglots channel in the Make WordPress Slack to find out about the plans for the celebrations, hear and chat with other event organisers and help develop your own ideas about what you could do. The session will be led by @nao and @webcommsat, you will be most welcome. Let us know in the comments or on Slack if you will be attending.

If 7am UTC does not work for you, we will be running a shorter briefing session this Friday at 12pm UTC. There will be a drop-in with the Marketing Team at 7pm UTC on Monday 14 September 2020. [Thanks to everyone who attended and also provided additional briefing sessions]

Thanks to @webcommsat and @nao for the post.
Thanks to @webcommsat, @oglekler, @lmurillom, @meher, @nao , @pascal, @marybaum , Erica and Hari from the community team for the organizing and support to locales. And to @yvettesonneveld and @chaion07 who also helped organizers with the initial briefing information form.
