Translation and proofreading disabled for some languages

Our translation agency is working on core and plugins again. We’ve disabled translations for the following languages while that’s in progress.

  • Arabic
  • Chinese Simplified
  • Dutch
  • Finnish
  • French
  • German
  • Italian
  • Japanese
  • Portuguese (Brazilian)
  • Russian
  • Spanish
  • Turkish

We are doing this in order to increase the quality and consistency of translations.

FAQ

Will you re-enable crowdsourcing for all languages?

Yes, we will re-enable translation for all languages after the translation agency finishes their work. We might disable it again shortly before or after each release of a stable version.

I still want to contribute translations. What can I do?

You can still suggest new translations on Crowdin. Our proofreaders will have a look at them.

I’m not happy with some of the new translations done by the translation agency. What can I do?

We value your feedback. Please create a topic in translations and explain your complaint with as many examples as possible. We will forward your feedback to the translation agency.
You can also post comments and issues directly on Crowdin and mention the translator or proofreader.

Any update to Chinese Simplified ?

AFAIK it’s not done yet. If there’s something wrong with one or more translations, please add a suggested translation and leave a comment on Crowdin.

I know we’re on proofreading so Brazilian Portuguese isn’t available for contributing as of now, but I just wanted to let you know that we have a critical issue with the current pt_BR translation: the password recovery flow doesn’t work at all, because it’s using a /session/email-login link instead of the correct /u/password-reset one.

I am still seeing this on Crowdin. Either the work is still ongoing or something has changed, and I missed. Which the case, does anyone know?

The work is still ongoing. We will keep it that way for roughly one more month. I can’t promise anything, but I’ll see if we can make changes in the future to allow crowdsourcing while the translation agency is working on translations.

Thank you for the update. I forgot why I asked the question. We (contributors) are still getting emails for the changed/added translations. That’s why, every time I got the email, I think the work is finished. :wink:

Gerhard is there already a date when translation for us will be enabled again?
I just checked it for the new strings and at least German is still deactivated.

That’s a very good question. With the exception of some Russian translations, everything seems to be done. I’ve re-enabled Crowdsourcing for Discourse core and all plugins.
