My Posts
What is this section about?
These are the eight short entries required by the course. They are ordered from the initial setup to the completed Astra translation batch. Together they show what changed, what went wrong, and what I actually learned.
01
Building My WordPress Site
The setup looked simple until four different WordPress services and their login pages got involved.
02
Choosing Polyglots and Astra
Why I picked a contribution with a public count, a locale, and a real reviewer.
03
My First 33 Translations
The first batch showed me why software strings cannot be translated like a normal paragraph.
04
Halfway Check-In
The translation count was done; the important part was checking the set and reporting its status honestly.
Starting the WPCredits Project
Before translating anything, I had to figure out which WordPress website did what.
What Onboarding Actually Taught Me
WordPress.com and WordPress.org are not interchangeable, and submitted translations are not final translations.
The Easy-to-Break Parts
Why placeholders, HTML, and missing context mattered more than the total count.
Final Astra Translation Count
The result, the review request, and the difference between submitted and approved.
