Today\u2019s post is for you.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably noticed that LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress is written in English. We rely on our international users to help us translate the plugin for worldwide use. If you are fluent in a language other than English, and you\u2019ve ever wanted to contribute your linguistic talents to an open-source project, we hope you\u2019ll consider translating a few phrases for us.<\/p>\n<p>Only know English? If you\u2019re one of our friends from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, or Canada, we hope you, too, can help us to localize\/localise our plugin with your own flavor\/flavour of English &#x1f609;<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image.png\" alt=\"Translating LSCache for WordPress: Languages We Need\" width=\"253\" height=\"357\" \/>Is Your Language Needed?<\/h2>\n<p>We have a few languages very well covered, so you&#8217;ll want to check the <a href=\"https:\/\/translate.wordpress.org\/projects\/wp-plugins\/litespeed-cache\">Translating WordPress page for LiteSpeed Cache<\/a> and look for your language (and geographic location if applicable). If there are red or yellow boxes next to the language, then your expertise is needed.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, we have quite a few red boxes as of this writing (and several pages more of them past where the screenshot ends). The most important column is the \u201cStable\u201d column. Languages with shades of red in the stable column have less than a third of the plugin translated.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Submit a Translation<\/h2>\n<p>All you need is a wordpress.org login. Once you are logged in, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/translate.wordpress.org\/projects\/wp-plugins\/litespeed-cache\">click the link<\/a> and start translating at your own pace.<\/p>\n<p>The instructions will be the same for whichever language and geographic location you choose, but for simplicity&#8217;s sake, let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re from Spain and would like to contribute to the Spanish-as-spoken-in-Spain translation. Click <strong>Spanish (Spain)<\/strong> to be brought to the es_ES translation page.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/null-8.png\" alt=\"Translating LSCache for WordPress: Edit the Stable Release\" width=\"672\" height=\"954\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The most important section to work on first is <strong>Stable (latest release)<\/strong>, so click on that to see what strings are still missing translation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/null-9.png\" alt=\"Translating LSCache for WordPress: Entering a Translation\" width=\"672\" height=\"929\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll be brought to a list of strings and their current translations (if any).<\/p>\n<p>This list, if it&#8217;s not well-populated, may look overwhelming. However, <em>it is not required for you to translate every single string<\/em>. You could spend half an hour and do thirty of them. Or ten. Or even just one. Every contribution, even a small one, gets us closer to full translation for your locale.<\/p>\n<p>When you see a string you&#8217;d like to translate (for example, <strong>Communicated with Cloudflare successfully<\/strong>), double click on the Translation column for that string, and enter your translation in the box.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/null-10.png\" alt=\"Translating LSCache for WordPress: Submitting a Suggestion\" width=\"672\" height=\"420\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Click the <strong>Suggest new translation \u2192<\/strong> button. Congratulations, you have successfully translated your first string.<\/p>\n<h2>Now What?<\/h2>\n<p>All translations must be approved by an editor for your language before they are incorporated into the plugin.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to be a translation editor for LSCache, just keep translating! We will notice you, and apply to wordpress.org to give you editor access. Additionally, we&#8217;ll add you to our Slack team, where you can communicate with our other editors, and be kept in the loop for new plugin updates and needed translations.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for helping us make LSCWP accessible for a global audience!<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Have some of your own ideas for future <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.litespeedtech.com\/tag\/wordpress-wednesday\">WordPress Wednesday<\/a> topics?
