Hello, my WordPress friends! As I\u2019ve probably said a million times already, my absolute favourite thing about WordPress is the ever so growing community<\/strong> of users and contributors of the CMS. Not so long ago, my buddies from our WordPress Agency for Development<\/a> \u2013 Vipe Studio \u2013 told me about one very interesting aspect of WordPress website development and that is translation.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, there are WordPress Polyglots<\/strong> contributors from all over the world who take care of translating different elements from the content management system. How awesome is that? I\u2019m actually starting to think about joining these contributors. After all, why not translate WordPress to a few cosmic languages as well, right? Believe it or not, my CMS of choice is becoming more and more popular in space!<\/p>\n

With that being said, today I\u2019ll be telling you all about this year\u2019s WordPress Translation Day<\/a>. Or should I say…WordPress Translation Month? Yes, you read that right \u2013 it is my absolute pleasure to inform you that the whole month of September 2021<\/strong> is focused on WordPress Translation. My colleagues from our WordPress development agency can\u2019t wait to hear everything about it. Since the event has already started, let\u2019s not waste another minute and get straight into all the details!<\/p>\n

WordPress Translation Day Expands!<\/h2>\n

This year, WordPress Translation Day began on the 1st of September. To my delight, it became clear that the event has been expanded to run from September 1-30<\/strong>. This means that we get a whole month of fun translating activities! Mini-events are being hosted throughout September where WordPress Polyglots contributors from around the Globe will be translating important projects such as themes, plugins, apps, meta, and docs.<\/p>\n

I love the fact that WordPress website development can really benefit from this month-long event because it will focus on general process improvements as well as recruitment and virtual training for new PTEs\/GTEs. The Polyglots contributor base has seen a great payoff from the past WordPress Translation Day events.<\/p>\n

For example, last year the teams hosted more than 20 local events and the results were definitely productive, to say the least. More than 175,000 strings<\/strong> were translated in 2020, can you imagine? During the first week of the event last year, the metaphorical champion cup went to the French, Spanish, and Japanese-language locales that recorded the most translated strings. Bravo!<\/p>\n

WordPress Translation Day 2021: The Events<\/h2>\n

So let me and my favourite WordPress Agency for Development tell you what WordPress Translation Day\/Month has in store for 2021 (don\u2019t forget the event is already running)!<\/strong> As of now, there are seven mini-events scheduled<\/a> for 2021. They will be set in different locales throughout this month. This year the contributors are no less motivated to do a good job as they plan to translate popular plugins<\/a> and WordPress core.<\/p>\n

Portugal, Tehran, Jakarta \u2013 you name it \u2013 people from all around the world are currently translating WordPress elements! One of the largest IT hubs in India is located in Bengaluru and the event will be particularly interesting there.<\/p>\n

Why? Because organizers will be onboarding new translators, including high school students who are interested in contributing to WordPress. Our WordPress development agency is very excited for all the newbies who will dip their toes in the vast world of WordPress website development by becoming translating contributors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think that you will be most interested in what WordPress Translation Day has to offer during the second half of the month though. This is when the global events<\/a> will take place. These events are the most accessible ones because they will be hosted in English. Also, don\u2019t worry about the level of knowledge you have regarding WordPress website development \u2013 contributors of all experience levels<\/strong> are welcome to attend.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see the events you can join:<\/p>\n
