Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed<br>
<br>
On the subject of translating front-end and/or back-end of a theme:<br>
<a href="http://lists.wordpress.org/pipermail/theme-reviewers/2012-September/010664.html" target="_blank">http://lists.wordpress.org/pipermail/theme-reviewers/2012-September/010664.html</a><br>
<br>
&quot;Public-facing&quot; seems pretty clear to me, both semantically and in the<br>
context it is being used in the Review Guidelines (&quot;public-facing credit<br>
link&quot;). It obviously means the text on the front end of a web site, the<br>
part that faces &quot;the public&quot;, with the public being the visitors of a<br>
site. It would be a stretch to count the back end of a theme as &quot;facing<br>
the public&quot; -  in this context.<br>
<br>
The amount of text in a theme back end can be huge, even more so if a<br>
lot of additional usage information is provided. It would be an undue<br>
burden for translators if they had to translate that as well in order to<br>
create a full translation of a theme. What about illustrational graphics<br>
in the back end? If we wanted to be really pedantic there would also<br>
have to be localized versions of graphics that contain text. Back end<br>
text may also change more frequently than text on the the front end.<br>
<br>
This should be clarified in the review guidelines. A theme should count<br>
as being &quot;translation-ready&quot; if all public-facing text is localized,<br>
with &quot;public facing&quot; being all the text that appears or may appear on<br>
the front end of a site.<br>
<br>
It shouldn&#39;t be mandatory to have the back end localized as well.<br>
Perhaps there should be a second theme tag for this?<br>
<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; There seems to be some confusion regarding this item in the Theme Review<br>
&gt; guidelines in one of the reviews I&#39;m doing with regards to Translation<br>
&gt; Support.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; &quot;Themes are *required* to have all public-facing text in English.&quot;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; My understanding is that all text the user sees - on the front-end (viewing<br>
&gt; the site) and the back-end (admin pages) must be localized.<br>
&gt; Others feel that this only refers to the front-end.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I personally find it strange that you&#39;re not going to translate theme<br>
&gt; options so a clarification would be great.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Or perhaps a better discussion would be: in what cases would there be an<br>
&gt; exception to translation e.g. dummy text in special templates?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Thanks<br>

&gt; &quot;*by default*&quot;.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; So something like:<br>

&gt; *Themes are required to have all public-facing (both the front-end and<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; This is actually pretty straightforward (IMO).<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Public-facing: *Theme Created by Author* (front-end) *Theme Options... etc..<br>
&gt; * (back-end) examples only.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; So if author is including e.g. Theme Options, all that should be in English<br>
&gt; too, but also everything else visible to the user.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Localization in this case is not a requirement :)<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Thanks,<br>
