How to force the translation update?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi! I am using the Dynamic News theme for several years now and there are some untranslated sentences in Russian. My blog is in Russian and these few English sentences there look weird. I see that these sentences were translated a long ago (at least some of them). But as others are still untranslated (52% is ready) this update is still inactive. Is there any way to update the translation right now? As majority of untranslated sentences are rare and I have never seen them at all in real blogs (it seems they are for settings mostly)

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Hi there,

    Anyone can contribute translations to WordPress.com, including all our themes, so if any translations are missing, you’re welcome to translate those strings yourself.

    Theme translations are only activated once the theme is 85% translated, so try to translate as many strings as you can. Then one of our volunteer validators for Russian will also need to approve the translations. We do have active validators for that language, so hopefully that doesn’t take too long :)

    You can learn more about how translations work on WordPress.com here:

    Hi,

    Thank you for the reply. I have translated a number of strings. If they are approved, it will be enough to force an update (86%). But now I see that nobody checks them. Is there any way to let the validators know that these strings are waiting for their validation?

  • That’s great news! Check out this page to learn how to get the attention of the validators (and even become a validator yourself if you’d like).

    Validation Process

    Could you please help with the validation of the following theme?
    https://translate.wordpress.com/projects/wpcom/themes/dynamic-news/ru/default/

    I have translated several strings (up to 86%) and would like to have them validated and the theme updated afterwards.

    Hi! I have read the guidelines for the validation process and see that there is only one way to ask for a validation: create a topic in this forum. I created such a topic yesterday, but now I see that somebody has moved it into this topic instead. Hope it will help. Because there is no updates still

    Hi there!

    Thanks for your efforts! We’ve already notified the relevant team to validate the translated strings. We’ll let you know once the translations have been validated. Appreciate your patience in the meantime!

  • @knari77 – I’ve been notified that the strings have been translated and should be live. Can you check and let us know if you find otherwise? Thank you!
