Earlier today a handful of us gathered to talk about life, the universe, and things that may or may not relate to the meta team and i18n. Here’s a bit of what we talked about:
- Plugins: Last week imported our first set of plugins into translate.wordpress.org! Hurrah! Huzzah! 🎤⬇️ And because we were feeling good about it, we also sent out emails to the second batch of plugin authors (~200 plugins). That import will start today or tomorrow and we’ll send out emails for the next import soon.
- Translate: The stats page got some love with the addition of the Waiting column (see #1202) and some improvements to the design (see #1238).
- Theme Directory: @obenland started work on the Translations section by adding a link to translate any theme to the page. Check out the Twenty Sixteen theme page for an example.
- WordCamp: Set things up so the WordCamp theme can be translated (see #1076), pending deployment by the WordCamp team.
- Forums: There was a mention that the Italian forums are not working. @ocean90 will investigate. Additionally, we’ve had a couple of requests for new forums. We think it’s okay to add new ones for testing purposes. For example, an RTL forum would be appropriate.
For the next week, we’re planning to work on the following:
- Import and language pack status of plugins sent to a Slack channel.
- Sorting / Filter UI finished up (or whatever we call it).
- Streamline the process of adding per-project translation editors (see #1237 which requires #1240).
- Work on updated design for project pages in Translate.
- Possibly: More Theme Directory translation section additions.
- Possibly: Rosetta headers fixed up (see #1201).
- Possibly: Job system started.
See y’all next Tuesday at 11:00 UTC!
