Validators are now controlled through Rosetta
Validators are now controlled through Rosetta
Editors of Rosetta sites can now control who the validators are for their language. GlotPress will use these permissions across all projects on translate.wordpress.org. You no longer need to post validator requests here.
Validators are users of that locale’s Rosetta site having the role of Editor, Author, or Contributor. You can also use the new role of Validator (otherwise equivalent to Subscriber). I’ve ported over all existing validators.
Editors can now add and promote users, as well as edit the theme’s screenshots and navigation menu (Themes > Custom Header and Menus, see previous post). All administrators are now editors instead.
With this change, we’re also dropping support for locales that do not have a Rosetta site. This applies to 21 languages*, all of which are inactive anyway. GlotPress will no longer function properly for these languages, and a future cleanup will likely remove them from SVN and elsewhere.
(* – Affected languages are: br, gd, kk, ku, lt, mn, no, pa_IN, zh, az, bn_BD, en_GB, es_CO, fo, haw_US, is_IS, kn, ky_KY, lb_LU, ta_IN, ur.)

Keep in mind that the most immediate effect of this is that you cannot have a locale on GlotPress without the corresponding xx.wordpress.org site, as that site is the *only* place where validators are defined. If your language is missing please post your request on this blog and we’ll take care of it asap.
Andrew Nacin 10:32 pm on July 19th, 2011 Permalink |
Yeah, the 21 languages affected were those with at least one validator. Other languages might also be affected, but that means we don’t have a validator (or the language).

Hi Nancin,
Please see coment below.
Thanks,
Gabriel

It’s Nacin, not Nancin, and you don’t need to talk to me through Zé, I’m right here.
You are not br. You are pt_BR. br is the internal GlotPress slug for Breton (per ISO 639-1). If they ever request a subdomain, they’ll be bre.wordpress.org.

Hi Nacin,
First, sorry about misspelling your surname 😛
Zé is our kind helper, I have the bad habit of getting his help every time.
Also it seemed to me that he could explain my issue better than me.
Still, we have br.wordpress.org and our locale is pt_BR.
Maybe I misread Zé’s comment, but I am under impression that we might have needed to have pt_BR.wordpress.org, instead of our current br.wordpress.org.
Thanks,
Gabriel
Andrew Nacin 10:56 pm on July 19th, 2011 Permalink |
Nope, you’re good. 🙂
Gabriel Reguly 10:57 pm on July 19th, 2011 Permalink |
Great, thanks.

Hi ze, i am a he_IL validator (for all wp.org projects in hebrew), but i can’t aceess to my he.wordpress.org account. i see that he_il language was not affected.
Gabriel Reguly 10:33 pm on July 19th, 2011 Permalink |
Oi Zé,
Please talk to Nancin, as we have br.wordpress.org, but our locale is pt_BR.
Obrigado,
Gabriel
Zé 10:40 pm on July 19th, 2011 Permalink |
@nacin is right above you, look up… 😉

Shame on me, I was in the middle of the comment and just pressed enter without reading the new comment.
Thanks for your patience 😛
Zé 10:58 pm on July 19th, 2011 Permalink |
Caipirinhas are on you then 😛
Gabriel Reguly 11:00 pm on July 19th, 2011 Permalink |
Sure, just like at WordCamp Curitiba.
pavelevap 10:47 pm on July 19th, 2011 Permalink |
Great! Two questions:
1) Any chance to limit some validator rights to specific projects? If there are users with role Validator and they were limited to one project, they can access all projects now?
2) Can we setup new projects, for example cs_CZ for bbPress?
P.S. I can see that SergeyBiryukov is user of cs_CZ? It is probably any mistake?
Zé 10:50 pm on July 19th, 2011 Permalink |
1) and 2) Not at the moment
PS-Sergey is ru, so probably a mistake. Feel free to remove him.
pavelevap 11:01 pm on July 19th, 2011 Permalink |
Ad 1) That is a little problem. We need to allow for example BuddyPress for some users, but do not want to let them change other projects.
Yes, I would like to remove Sergey, but it is not possible.
There is also user swienczyk, but we do not know him and now he can validate everything. Is it possible to know when this user was added and for which project? Thank you.
Zé 11:04 pm on July 19th, 2011 Permalink |
I’ve removed Sergey and swienczyk and will look into the issue
pavelevap 11:14 pm on July 19th, 2011 Permalink |
OK, thank you. I also doubt about converting all current users. I remember there was validator (he is not active) for Android project, but he was not converted (not visible between Rosetta users).
Andrew Nacin 11:16 pm on July 19th, 2011 Permalink |
swienczyk was the validator for the Android project, I just confirmed.
pavelevap 11:18 pm on July 19th, 2011 Permalink |
OK, thank you! Mystery solved 🙂
Andrew Nacin 11:29 pm on July 19th, 2011 Permalink |
Editors can now remove users. Forgot about that part.
Rafael Poveda - RaveN 8:46 am on July 20th, 2011 Permalink |
I’m editor and I can only remove user, not promote subscribers to validators. Did I need to remove and add again?
Rafael Poveda - RaveN 9:12 am on July 20th, 2011 Permalink |
Found how to do it! Sorry 😛
Sergey Biryukov 3:10 pm on July 20th, 2011 Permalink |
Yep, some time ago I registered as a subscriber on cs.wordpress.org. I can’t remember the exact reason though, probably to test WordPress with Czech language files, which are available without registration anyway.
Sergey Biryukov 3:13 pm on July 20th, 2011 Permalink |
Probably registration on Rosetta sites should be closed?
Xavier 11:11 pm on July 19th, 2011 Permalink |
Excellent integration! Kept looking for a dedicated Validators menu, when the obvious stroke me 🙂
Thanks!

Are they (validators, editors) have SVN access too?
Andrew Nacin 3:08 pm on July 20th, 2011 Permalink |
No, this doesn’t affect SVN access.
Xavier 10:22 pm on July 20th, 2011 Permalink |
One question, now that my head has rested: one validator was known to me, but isn’t part of the WPFR translation team (he does translation for BuddyPress). Another one of the validators is totally unknown to me.
So, question: does the current list encompass all translate.wp.org validators for a given language, regardless of the project? If so, does my changing their role change their rights on the project(s) they’ve been working on?
Zé 10:24 pm on July 20th, 2011 Permalink |
Validators are language-wide, not per project. You are now king of your domain, feel free to promote and demote as you see fit
Zé 10:24 pm on July 20th, 2011 Permalink |
Remember that you can check a .org user at http://wordpress.org/support/profile/username-here

Great work Andrew. Wonderful. I have a question though.
Where were the users ported from? In da.wordpress.org there are now 18 users.
3 Editors (former validators)
2 Validators
13 Subscribers
I know the three Editors. They are the former Validators of WordPress. All fine. I think the two Validators are validators in the BuddyPress projects. And they are now language-wide. All fine too.
As for the 13 Subscribers – I have no idea. Don’t recognize any of them. They have no priviliges but I would still like to know how they ended up on the list.
Mark Thomas Gazel 8:43 pm on August 3rd, 2011 Permalink |
Oh, now I see:
“You can also use the new role of Validator (otherwise equivalent to Subscriber).”
So i guees the two “validators” have no priviliges and can’t validate strings.
Andrew Nacin 1:28 am on August 5th, 2011 Permalink |
No Subscribers were added during this transition. I think it had to do with when Rosetta was on older versions of MU. You can remove them.
Edit: Sorry, I hit Reply too early. Validators are equivalent to subscribers as it pertains to Rosetta (WP) access. As the name indicates, they *can* validate. The role simply offers you the ability to give someone validator privileges without providing them Rosetta posting/management permissions. Hope that makes sense.
Mark Thomas Gazel 7:22 pm on August 9th, 2011 Permalink |
It makes sense now. Thank you.
