Today
• What's broken • How we're going to fix it • Questions
Install
1. Get and upload language files (?)
2. Edit wp-config.php
3. Some things are still in English
Change language
Themes & Plugins
Update
Let's fix it
Install & CoreUpgrades
• No more locales builds*
• Language can easily be changed (during or after install)
• Updates to language packs can happen between WordPress releases too
Core Language Packs
• Builds with custom PHP/CSS
• Translation of Readmes, licences etc
Technical Challenges
Themes & Plugins
• Localized directories
• Plugins/Themes in the directories will show supported languages (available via search too)
• Also in your WordPress Install
Themes and Plugins
• Detecting what is translated to what
• Get more plugins and themes translated
• Set translations free from developers (and developers free from translations)
Challenges
• For themes and plugins in the repository.
• Independent from plugin/theme authors
• All translations at http://translate.wordpress.org Think: translation-memory, fuzzy matching...
Language Packs
