[wp-polyglots] Plugins and themes localization

[Cátia Kitahara]

Hi Amir,

No, I was only talking about the wordpress.org plugins/themes directory
(where I said plugin/theme repository, I was meaning directory, sorry).
Your plugin is very interesting, though :)
Thanks.

> Actually, we're planning to build something like this:

>
> In case you don't know, WPML is a plugin for running WordPress
> multilingual. Getting everything translated is very important to us and our
> users.
>
> WPML already includes facilities for translating themes and plugins:
>
> * Scans the PHP and extract strings that need translation
> * Includes a string translation interface that allows entering translation
> for everything. It's organized by context and is made for translators.
> * Hooks to the gettext calls and injects the translation from its own
> string translation interface.
> * Imports and exports .po files.
>
> What we're planning to do, in the very near future, is allow it to
> synchronize translations with a central repository. This will allow
> automatically downloading missing translations for everything that the blog
> includes.
>
> To upload translations, people will have to complete a short sign up
> procedure. This will allow us to do some filtering and make sure that
> contributors can write in the language they're contributing to. Plugin/theme
> owners will have superuser privileges and will be able to edit their
> translations.
>
> Is this, more or less, what you're talking about?
