Context:
At this stage of the project, it’s time to take stock and evaluate the impact of the work done so far on the WordPress localization for Costa Rica (es_CR).
Procedure and Metrics:
For this review, I checked the Polyglots dashboard and my contributor profile. Currently, the overall status of my contributions is summarized as follows:
Total strings translated and submitted: 120 strings (primarily focused on the Bit Flows plugin).
Current status: Strings in the “Waiting” status (highlighted in yellow on the platform), pending review by the Project Translation Editors (PTE).
Pages processed: 8 full pages of continuous translations.
Obstacles:
The main challenge in this phase isn’t technical; it’s the wait time. The approval process isn’t immediate, and there are no automatic notifications when a chain’s status changes.
Lessons Learned:
I realized that, in the open-source world, the work doesn’t end when you submit your results. The actual workflow depends on the availability of community reviewers, so measuring progress involves managing wait times effectively and staying consistent
Reflection:
Seeing the 120 accumulated chains in a pending status is very satisfying because it demonstrates the volume of work that has been completed, although it is subject to external approval.
