    Hello,

    I’m wondering how many percent of translation which are able to deploy or download from the site? (km.wordpress.org)

    Currently, we have translated 98% of Core, and about 80% of Administration.

    How do the translations of the GlotPress web interface itself (i.e., those at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/glotpress/dev) get implemented?

    We’ve just finished translating WordPress into Vietnamese and I’m trying to release updated translations and an updated version of WordPress to vi.wordpress.org.

    I’m confused about the process. There’s a tool in the vi.wordpress.org backend that allows me to release updated translations, but the version of WordPress that’s included in the package is old. I think it’s coming from here: http://i18n.svn.wordpress.org/vi/trunk/dist/. Those files are very old. contain redirects, and in general need to be gutted. I’ve attempted to clean this up with my .org username but I don’t have access.

    What is the proper way of releasing new translations + WP packages? Is it safe to just delete that entire /dist/ folder so that WordPress is only pulled from the English version of /trunk/ for now, along with the translation files that we’ve done?

    Thanks.

    Hi!

    Pot files repository is outdated again, no .pot files since 3.8.3 http://i18n.svn.wordpress.org/pot/tags/

    I would thank you very much if someone can fix this.

    And by the way, why not include .pot files in WordPress package? I always wondered why these files are not included in the WordPress releases.

    Best regards!

    At our first Contributor Day, at WordCamp Hamburg last monday, we have build a team to improve our germanophon community. In this procedere we´ve discussed how we can organize our team.

    One idea is to having an own P2 / O2 Make (public reading), where we can talk in german without flooding the existing make blogs here at w.org. Temporary we try to organize with a trello board. For small tasks it is a fine solution, but for general discussions to confusing.

    Here are some scenarios, that we had extracted:

    • XX.wordpress.org/make
    • make.wordpress.org/XX
    • make.wordpress.org/polyglots/XX
    • make.wordpress.org/community/XX

    What do you think? Is this an idea, you can deal with and use for your community?

    How is your workflow in your community?

    Thanks for your opinion and engagement to make the world a little better ;-)

      For “speaking URLs” I like “make.wordpress.org/XX” the best, otherwise also “XX.wordpress.org/make” makes sense. The other 2 are already too long in my opinion.

    • Ze Fontainhas 9:20 pm on June 18, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      xx.wordpress.org/something is what makes sense to me, in which “something” could be either “team”, “discuss” or any variation of that. “make” already has a specific connotation I guess

    • Andrew Nacin 11:19 pm on June 18, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      I definitely think we can do something on xx.wordpress.org (something I remember discussing previously).

      Alternatively: Let’s say your forums were bbPress 2.0 and everyone had them — would a single “meta” forum area be appropriate and sufficient?

      • Birgit Olzem 10:41 am on June 19, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply

        Yes, we´ve talked about this topic at Contributor Day in London last year.

        I think forums are not the best solution. For beeing consistently in organisation and communication for teams, I think we must use the infrastructure P2 / O2 Make-Blogs. New members could better get envolved with this scheme / model. They could orient oneself and easily find the way to communicate and contribute to.

        My thought goes a little bit forward: The user management for access the teams can driven by rosetta sites admins / editor resp. the locale reps. Every user with a .org profile could sign up over contact form.

        The main argument, why I think P2 / O2 is the best way: Notifications. It is much easier to get notified over a make blog, instead a topic in forums. And we can inform better about getting envolved with notes in sidebar and so on.

        All the arguments, why we use – for example – here for polyglots the same way to communicate with each other.

      • Ze Fontainhas 12:07 pm on June 19, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply

        Agree with P2/O2 being better than forums, for all the reasons listed by Birgit and David. That said, let’s keep in mind that make/polyglots is the home of translators and not necessarily a country/locale community. Granted, they often overlap, but not always. Speaking exclusively for pt_PT, we’d have no problem moving all discussions about translations to a .org hosted P2/O2, but would have a serious one moving the community debate there; community management requires a lot more than just slapping a P2/O2 on it, and neither does that discussion necessarily belong exclusively on make/polyglots, nor is it mature enough (yet) to implement. Baby steps.

        • Remkus de Vries 12:30 pm on June 19, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply

          Agreed 100%.

        • daveshine (David Decker) 1:24 pm on June 19, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply

          As of my understanding it’s not about touching the Polyglots base here, it’s just offering the P2/O2 functionality to locale/country communities to power their blogs. Example: de.wordpress.org/blog/ would open as a P2/O2 — that would be awesome!

          This P2 here has to stay, absolutely!

          • Birgit Olzem 1:39 pm on June 19, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply

            Sorry for objection @daveshine, don´t replace the standard blog for P2/O2!

            The blog is reserved for announcements and public articles. Not for discussion about organisation and improvements for locale communities.

            I prefer de.wordpress.org/make

            It´s a better consistence and namespacing

            „make“ in context doing great stuff for / with / in the locale community

            Organising contribution to other w.org projects für beginners in native language and so on.

          • Ze Fontainhas 1:43 pm on June 19, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply

            That was my point: community-operation-under-org is not defined or discussed, at this point (and keep in mind that “locale” isn’t necessarily “community”, see Belgium, Switzerland (1 community, n languages), or French (1 language, n communities). I am all for discussing it, but just not in this specific context, which has a clear, feasible and objective scope.

        • Torsten Landsiedel 7:44 am on June 20, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply

          This is not about having central place to discuss all things community, it is about adopting the idea of the make-blogs to locales. (At least for me.)

          Examples:
          de.wordpress.org/translation -> discussions about German translations
          de.wordpress.org/supporting -> discussions about supporting in the German forums
          de.wordpress.org/core -> discussions about German/translation related core patches
          etc. etc.

          This could be a place to prepare contributions in German and to discuss things which don’t have to flood international P2s.

          We don’t want to use the name “make” or make the make-blogs obsolete. It is just a step between, like we do now (with a wp.com blog) with translation here: http://teamwpde.wordpress.com/

          Or would this be an act of isolation again?

          • Ze Fontainhas 9:35 am on June 20, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply

            That looks like a lot of buckets :) It seems to me that discussing things like support and core patches, even if specific to a locale, could benefit all locales by being at the same place and in English, no? This may require some @samuelsidler input, so ping.

          • Birgit Olzem 11:11 am on June 20, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply

            @zodiac1978: I think, it don´t need more than one P2. The locale specific topics – in native language for german speaking – could separated with categories and colour tags.

            The big picture, why I want to discuss it here, is to make this native speaking P2s available for all people, who has a w.org login.

            I´ve talked with @samuelsidler some days ago and he meant, that we could use our community site wpde.org for this case.

            But I think, that option is likely an isolated application. We´re endeavored to desestablish this gap.

            @vanillalounge you´ve criticized this same gap in your keynote at #wchh14

            Please correct me, if my thoughts going into a wrong direction.

            I seem to remember, that at #wceu last year it was a topic, to bring the communities together. So I think, using the w.org infrastructure is the best way – because we all use the same CI / CD for the project.

            For us in Germany it is one mouseclick away to setup an own P2, but is this the best way for working together as a big worldwide community?

            The second argument. If we set up an own P2, so who is the Gatekeeper? If we use w.org infrastructure, so there can the respective user for the international sites step into this role, too. It is easier to maintain and respects the trademark policies.

            My 2cts and reflects my personal opinion. ;-)

    • obstschale 10:31 am on June 19, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      I like xx.wordpress.org/sth. Ze’s arguments are good.

    • daveshine (David Decker) 11:07 am on June 19, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      I vote for a P2/O2 solution! It’s more native and dynamic and most “insiders” are already used to it because of the Make network on .org.

      Especially easy live comments, feeds and subscriptions make it more easy, and if there’s something more “long form” content to tell about, than the blog functionaly is also an advantage.

      Thanks, Dave :)

    • Caspar 2:41 pm on June 20, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      @nacin Only because our Trello boards are flooded and we *really* need to create a solution within a matter of days rather than weeks:

      Would xx.wordpress.org/sth be available very soon? Or would it need to be discussed in general?

      We generally wouldn’t have a problem to use a self-hosted P2 for now if it wasn’t for the idea being so overwhelmingly intriguing that people logging into their w.org profiles could just post away in a xx.wordpress.org/sth solution.

      So, is it something we could help making available real soon? Or should we go with a self-hosted for now?

    • Caspar 2:42 pm on June 20, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      community management requires a lot more than just slapping a P2/O2 on it

      Got that. :)

      Welcome back :) All translations are now handled via GlotPress and releases are built from the Rosetta sites. Do you know who is in charge of the releases in your language currently?

      You’re still the editor for http://sw.wordpress.org, but the i18n repos have changed url, it’s now i18n.svn.wordpress.org/sw (and you have permissions there already)

    WordPress for iOS 4.1.1 includes a few new translations and a critical bug fix for a crash happening. If you could reply to this post with your translation I’ll make sure it gets included – thanks!!

    • Fixed a bug causing a crash upon startup in certain scenarios – thanks to everyone who took the time to report it on our forums!
    • Updated translations for Thai, Korean, Japanese, Russian, and Indonesian languages.
    • 4.1.2 will be out soon with a fix for a bug that doesn’t allow sites to connect via Jetpack.

    I found that wrong “Untranslated” count is displayed for “Swiss German (Formal)” in GlotPress.

    https://i.cloudup.com/r-u3d8jIZo.png

    Anyone can recount this (like forum)?
