Contributors
Contributors have access to the languages assigned to them only for entering translations, but they cannot add or remove terms.
Translating the OSD user interface is not just about swapping words from one language to another. It is about making sure every label makes sense in context and maintaining consistent terminology.
Translation groups typically self-organize to divide work collaboratively.
Best Practices
-
Maintain consistent terminology across modules
-
Reach consensus with other national committees for shared language
-
Always read the context or comments before translating
-
Use the search function to find related labels
How to get access to POEditor?
Users contributing to translations will receive an invitation to join POEditor.
The users may see various projects in their PO Editor - Projects dashboard depending on their responsibilities. If they contribute to the translation of multiple languages, each language will appear within relevant projects.
