Hi Thomas,

With the move to WordPress we've made the decision to discontinue translating the website. Translation is high value and high effort. With the old website, we claimed a large number of languages that we were supposedly translated into, but most of these translations rapidly became incomplete and in most languages the translated site was a mess. There was no way volunteer effort could keep up. Instead we'd rather put translation effort into places where it can keep up and where it will make a much bigger positive difference to users.

Translation has the most impact for the program user interface. There is though also the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq.html which user support directs people to. This has very high value, it is central to the Audacity manual, and we would love to have the FAQ translated.

The FAQ is much more important than the website as it has the most frequently asked questions. For detailed instructions of the kind in the FAQ, where the user may already be confused, human translation would make a very big difference. So if we are going to organise translation of more than the user interface, can it be for the FAQ?

Hello

I noticed Transifex can't fetch the Audacity website translations any more. Since the website is now created with WordPress, i'd like to mention the fact that Transifex supports live translation of WordPress based sites:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/transifex-live-integration/ <https://nl.wordpress.org/plugins/transifex-live-integration/>

If anybody would like to set this up, please do! In my opinion, it would be beneficial!

Regards

Thomas
