  Hi guys

  Please help me setup the Afrikaans translation (af_ZA) for Jetpack on wordpress.com. Do I use the same request as on the Polyglots forum?

  WordPress.org username of the administrator: snapalot
  Language code: af
  Language name, both the English and the native name: Afrikaans, Afrikaans
  Country code: za
  Country name, both the English and the native name: South Africa, Suid-Afrika

  Thank you
  Kobus

  Added Afrikaans to Jetpack and set you as the validator. Thanks a lot for your help!

  Hi @jenia,

  I searched the forums for an answer to the following question but please just confirm that I’m on the right track:

  I cannot find the correct strings to translate on Jetpack’s GlotPress – for example, I want to translate “Enter your comment here…” (Jetpack 2.4.2). This is an iframe hosted at wordpress.com, so I need to translate the project wpcom as well.

  Please create the Afrikaans translation as you did for Jetpack and add me to the project.

  Also, what is the quickest way to implement a translation for Jetpack’s comments on my self-hosted WP site? Do I export a .po from GlotPress, generate a .mo and put it in /wp-content/plugins/jetpack/languages/jetpack-af_ZA.mo?

  I’m getting trolled on my site and desperately need an Afrikaans commenting system where visitors login to comment asap.

  Thanks for your time!

  Correct, not all strings that Jetpack loads come from Jetpack itself, it uses strings from WordPress.com as you’ve noticed. I added the Afrikaans translation project here and added you as a validator:

  I am looking into this and will let you know once I find out from the developers. In the meantime, feel free to try (I would also try with jetpack-af.mo as the file name) and let me know if it worked :)
