At WordCamp Europe 2026, the Polyglots Team gathered for Contributor Day with one clear mission: help make WordPress more accessible worldwide through translations.
The Polyglots table was led by @meloniq and @bruno2k, who helped coordinate activities throughout the day, welcomed new contributors, and supported translation efforts across multiple projects.
Throughout the day, contributors worked together on translating WordPress.org projects across dozens of languages, with a special focus on education-related tools that support initiatives such as WordPress Credits and Campus Connect.
Our contributors collaborated on translations for projects including:
- Sensei LMS and the Course theme
- Other LMS plugins like: LearnPress, LifterLMS, and Tutor LMS
- Additional WordPress.org plugins and themes needing translation support (see the full list on the translation event page)

Thank You! 💙
A huge thank you to everyone who spent their Contributor Day helping translate WordPress. Every string translated helps more people learn, build, and succeed with WordPress in their own language.
Together, we’re making WordPress more accessible to users all around the world.
