Summary: I will be starting a Polyglots outreach program. This program will include monthly posts with a call for volunteers to help reach out to a series of locale teams. Monthly posts will also have opportunities to develop and share new resources that locale teams can use to build their translation communities or to support new translation teams if a locale is inactive.
Inspired by the Community team’s efforts to reactivate Meetup groups, I’d like to experiment with an outreach effort for the Polyglots community. While reviewing some annual stats for a global 2022 WordPress Translation Day presentation, I noticed something. Compared to last year, five more locales have WordPress up-to-date, but there are fifteen more locales that are behind by more than one major version.
All of this got me thinking about our Polyglots community. How do we know if a locale team is active, and what can we do if they’re inactive or need help? How can we better support each other – especially teams with fewer contributors or with more work and fewer people to help?
