  Hello!

  Last week I discovered a pretty bad typo/mistranslation that’s being shown in the footer of every WordPress.com page that’s displayed in Romanian.

  Namely, the line “Create a free website at WordPress.com”. The verb there is written as “Crează” whereas the correct spelling is “Creează” with a double e.

  I’ve searched here and found this error in more places too. I have already suggested new translations under my WordPress account “cerber”, but now it seems they need to be validated.

  I hope I’m in the right place to ask for this.
  Thanks!
  Radu

  Radu, thanks for your comment on Romanian translation.
  I’ve contacted the validator and asked to validate your suggestions.
  I’ll let you know when I hear back!

  Hi there!

  I’m just jumping in to check. Any news or updates here? The errors are still showing up on GlotPress.

  Thanks!

  Thanks for checking in. I haven’t heard back from one validator so I tried another person. Sorry about the wait.

  Hey!

  Thank you for your help! I’ll keep an eye out for other errors and I’m also considering becoming a contributor/validator in order to bring Romanians a better experience on this awesome platform.

  But until then, I’m this thread as “resolved” :)
