Here I guess although I have not had a lot to do with it myself.

The main problem is that all translations need to be validated by someone with the correct account permissions and validators tend to work on what they want and then disappear. We can, of course, make you a validator should you wish to take it on...

I don't mind to be a validator, I can certainly try! But still I have an issue that I don't understand. I explain here... I tried to translate the Birthday plugin, there are 3 entries which are not translated. But I am not sure what do I have to translate for "%plural% for a Birthday" ? Everything including the word in the % ? I cannot even explain myself properly... hope you get it! I expected single words or phrases... not something like that!

Oooh. That's not very nice is it? And I have no idea quite what it means! The guy who coded that will be around later and I will ask and let you know.

Meanwhile - to make you a validator I will just need to know the account name you used for login to the translation site. Do not need your password.

ok I am in no hurry for that!
Username... ehm... I made 2 because I did not get the confirmation email and thought I would never get it 😀 So Let's say "Giovanna" will do. And maybe you can delete "GiovannaBuono" 😀
Also: how do I change the password? Thanks!

Account updated for all projects.

I do not really know how you change the password but I will try and find out. To explain, 'GlotPress' is not our software. It IS the software that the WordPress dev team use for core translations by their translating community which is why we adopted it. but it just has to be one of the ugliest, UI-unfriendly pieces of software I have seen for a long time.

We keep hearing rumours that it will soon get updated and rebuilt to improve it but nothing ever seems to materialise.

Why am I not surprised?
Anyway, thanks for having updated the account, I guess you made me a validator but I see no change... I wait for further explanation from the guy who coded it. Thanks a lot 😉

The only change would be the option to validate them and approve; the translations.

I have left a message for @mr-papa regarding the odd translation string.

actually @yellow-swordfish should know what they are - he coded them up! 😉

I say they because similar string is in birthdays and answers topic plugins... and both exist because of the MyCred plugin...    also used in other MyCred integrations but not translated...

so not sure if either should be translated or not - guessing not, but hate to go in circles, but will have to check with @yellow-swordfish since he is the MyCred guy...

Thank Mr Papa! Well one useful thing came up... I now know how to tag people 😀 Just testing...
@Mr Papa @Yellow Swordfish

Can I do this tagging in my forum too or do I need an extra plugin? Today is the day I dedicate to the plugins... I know I shouldn't say it here but it's annoing that the download plugin list is not in alphabetic order as the other list with all the info 😉

Ciao!
