On WP 3.3 ru_RU Credits page, aside from validators, there are some translators who don’t seem to have any approved strings in the final 3.3 release: agvares, cstrife and ivankovalenko. Is that some kind of a caching issue, or is there a valid reason for them to be there?

I am working on the Sanskrit translation, but my name appered on the pt_BR translation credits board. I am a brazilian citizen, and I do speak Brazilian Portuguese, but I do not work with pt_BR team, so it is probably due to an automation problem on the process of crediting translators.

I help the pt_BR translation team and indeed Carlos Eduardo G. Barbosa is not listed as a Validator or Editor under br.wordpress.org, so it must be from some other source.
I would like the opportunity to invite you, Carlos, to work with the Brazilian Team.

Any time, Gabriel.
Just drop me a message at with the team’s basic rules.
My pleasure.

Hi Carlos, happy 2012.
The Brazilian translators gather at http://groups.google.com/group/wordpress_br?hl=pt-BR and we have some translation directions here: http://wp-brasil.org/traducoes
Sorry about taking so long to comunicate back
and welcome aboard.
If I can help you with Sanskrit, not the translation, but building the packages, please let me know.

Thank you for being so nice, Gabriel. You can count on me.

Carlos,
You are listed as a translator, not a validator. This means you have submitted at least one string to pt_BR and that string was approved.
I can find a total of 9 strings you have submitted to pt_BR for WordPress core. One was submitted at 2011-10-25 12:12:28, this one is still current. The other eight were submitted on 2011-12-24; these were approved but later made “old” once the strings were moved from the main wordpress.pot to the wordpress-admin.pot.

For Tamil (Sri Lanka) we have Andrew Nacin on Translators credit. Is that suppose to be that way?

He was on the users list. Removed.

I’ve occasionally added myself as a validator for testing reasons. If you ever see me, you can remove me. Note though I am now automatically excluded from translator and validator lists.

The credits script considers strings “old” or “current” added since the previous release, to be valid strings. So, anyone who added a string after June 5, 2011, and was at some point approved, is considered a translator for 3.3.
This is the same as how core works. Someone may get props for code that ends up getting removed. They still keep their props.
Note that a “waiting” string is not included — the string had to at some point be current/approved in order to be made old.
It looks like all of these strings translated by these three users were made old at the same time on December 13.

Makes sense, thanks for the clarification.
