How can I edit a language translation?

AI-generated summary

A user, Arta_S, is looking to edit the Persian (Farsi) language translations on their Discourse installation, citing many incorrect translations. jomaxro suggests editing texts via the /admin/customize/site_texts page for existing installations, while the provided link explains how to contribute to translations for the benefit of others.

However, Alavi1412 warns that changing certain texts can cause site issues, citing their own experience. They advise against being afraid of making changes, as problematic translations can be deleted from the database.

Arta_S decides to contribute to the Persian language translation project and inquires about becoming a certified translator. dax responds that one typically needs to be added as a translator by a Discourse team member, such as @zogstrip or @techAPJ, and that they can be asked to do so.

You can edit any text on the site from /admin/customize/site_texts. The link above explains how to contribute to the translations that you said above: “… so many wrong translations” so others can benefit.
