 Priority:  normal                    |  Milestone:
Component:  Translate Site & Plugins  |   Keywords:  has-patch
--------------------------------------+-----------------------
 The `theme.json` files bundled by WordPress (`wp-includes/theme.json`) and
 Gutenberg (`lib/theme.json`) contain strings that are displayed in wp-
 admin (block editor, site editor, etc.). These strings haven't been
 extracted for a while and are not available for translation in
 https://translate.wordpress.org/

 While originally present for WordPress 5.8 and being available in
 translate.wordpress.org as far as
 [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5779#comment:11 December 3rd,
 2021] they stopped being extracted at some point later. Asking meta folks
 for database logs, they confirmed these strings were marked as "obsolete"
 (hence, stopped being available in GlotPress) in December 16th, 2021. This
 probably happened in preparation for the 5.8.3 minor release.

 The reason for this was an issue with the i18n-command, see
 [https://github.com/wp-cli/i18n-command/issues/423 details]. The issue has
 been fixed as of this [https://github.com/wp-cli/i18n-command/pull/424
 patch], to be merged soon.

 Next steps:

 - update the i18n-command in use by meta
 - figure out if
 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress.org/blob/83888a04df5f3d7d218503755543a73a6235c3ef/wordpress.org/public_html
 /wp-content/plugins/wporg-gp-customizations/inc/cli/class-make-core-
 pot.php Make_Core_Pot] needs any changes ([https://github.com/wp-cli/i18n-
 command/pull/424#issuecomment-2556657667 related])
 - trigger the string extraction process for all releases starting in
 WordPress 5.8
