WP releases have never worked like this, partly because it is too impractical, and that not all locales are up-to-date on the day a new version comes. So it's more of a case of "ok, wp is released, time for me to check my translation against the latest POT, svn it up, and build the package". Depending on the locale (and its admins willingness to come first :) ), this can take from an hour up to...many weeks.
For instance, the fr_FR translation was ready for prime time some time ago, and kept regularly updated this past week. I've just updated one last time and checked everything to make sure it works and installs correctly... http://fr.wordpress.org/builds/fr_FR/branches/2.9/wordpress-2.9-fr_FR.zip ...but I'm going to wait until next morning and a few more opinions than my own, so as to make sure I didn't inadvertently (almost 3am, back from party, yadda yadda...) screw up anything (or that users my think of a better translation for some of 2.9's new strings). Anyway, WP2.9 is now out and public, so there's really no point discussing synchronized release anymore :) Cheers, -xb. 2009/12/18 Fernando Tellado <[email protected]>: > I would like to know how to send the translation before the final release is > open to public.
