33. • No more locales builds*
• Language can easily be changed
(during or after install)
• Updates to language packs can happen
between WordPress releases too
Core Language Packs
34. • Builds with custom PHP/CSS
• Translation of Readmes, licences etc
Technical Challenges
36. • Localized directories

show supported languages (available
via search too)
• Also in your WordPress Install
Themes and Plugins
37. • Detecting what is translated to what
• Get more plugins and themes translated
• Set translations free from developers (and
developers free from translations)
Challenges
38. • For themes and plugins in the repository.
• Independent from plugin/theme authors
• All translations at
http://translate.wordpress.org
Think: translation-memory, fuzzy matching...
