What to Expect at the Polyglots Table
Our Contributor Day agenda is packed with exciting activities and opportunities to contribute:
✅ Getting Started with Translations – A quick introduction for new contributors on how to translate WordPress and its ecosystem.
✅ Live Translation Sessions – Hands-on translation sprints where you can start translating WordPress core, themes, plugins, and HelpHub documentation.
✅ Meet & Learn from Polyglots Mentors – Get guidance from experienced General Translation Editors (GTEs) and Community Mentors.
✅ Reviewing the Pending Requests- One important aspect of the Contributor Day is that it provides opportunities to look at the pending requests. We would love to clear the backlog.
✅ Networking with Fellow Translators – Meet other contributors, exchange experiences, and collaborate on translation efforts.
