Are you a developer? Maybe you speak multiple languages but would like to put your development skills to good use for the Polyglots team. Or maybe you don’t speak more than one language, but still want to be part of the Polyglots team.
Either way, we would love for you to join us!
While the Polyglots team focuses primarily on the translation of WordPress and related software into various languages, there are a number of other tasks that we can use help with. Our team has a number of ongoing projects and requests that would highly benefit from developer input. This guide will walk you through how and where to get involved.
What to work on
In general, you can follow any major projects happening on the Polyglots P2. However, on an ongoing basis, we can always benefit from developer attention in the following Trac instances:
You can also contribute to our translation software, GlotPress, via the GitHub repository:
I have another idea!
Beyond the suggestions above, there are always new ideas and ways to contribute. In our Tools page, you can see a number of tools that were created by developers who were invested in the Polyglots team and wanted to add some additional functionality to the tools we use. This includes things like the WP Polyglots Facilitator tool, which allows variants of a single language to share translations and strings with one another instead of “starting from scratch.”
If you have an idea for a tool that you would like to contribute, please feel free to share your idea in the #polyglots channel on the WordPress Slack or on the Polyglots P2. You can always join one of our weekly meetings to connect with other Polyglots team members who may be able to help build or test your new idea, too.
