WordCamp Asia 2025 Contributor Day took place on 20 February 2025 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC). The Polyglots Table was led by Carl Alberto ( @carl-alberto ) & Faisal Ahammed ( @faisalahammad ) with Ahmed Kabir Chaion ( @chaion07 ) the Polyglots Team Rep being in the attendance.
Here’s the link to the Translation Event Page for WC Asia 2025. We had 92 people (23 new contributors 🎉) who contributed in 30 languages (Arabic, Assamese, Bengali (Bangladesh), Cebuano, Chinese (Taiwan), Dutch, English (Australia), English (Canada), English (New Zealand), English (South Africa), English (UK), German, German (Switzerland), Greek, Gujarati, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Kannada, Lithuanian, Malay, Marathi, Russian, Serbian, Spanish (Spain), Tagalog, Tamil, Ukrainian, Urdu, and Yoruba), translated 44949 strings and reviewed 8359 strings.
The Polyglot Table not just became a venue in translating string into different languages—it became an extension of the community team. Many first-time translation contributors were encouraged to participate after attending local meetups. Additionally, the Contributor Day played a crucial role in fostering face-to-face interactions and collaboration among global WordPress users, many of whom had previously only connected online via Slack.
We want to thank everyone for their contributions and for joining the Polyglots Table. We would also like to thank the Organizing Team of WordCamp Asia 2025 for hosting the contributor day and for having the polyglots table. Props to @carl-alberto and @faisalahammad for helping out everyone and for reviewing this P2.
