I wanted actualize the german (and others) language files.
The size is much smaller than earlier language plugins.
After installing, a lot of thing were in english (default language).
Please, I like your work, but make it good!

We don't do the translations. We just compile them into a plugin. If strings are not translated on transifex then they won't be translated in the language plugin.

Most likely what you're having issues with is either language strings inside of a WYSIWYG editor that have been padded by extra characters causing the translation to not be picked up or it's a plugin that doesn't have a completed translation yet.

See the below for further language information and on how you can contribute to the translations.

See the below German language forums to collaborate with other translators.

I am translating too in transifex.

The german translation file from 13.8.2015 has a size of 131 kb.
the newer translation file from 07.09. 2015 has a size of 52 kb. (and has much less translated expressions.

In my opinion a newer file should have more translated expressions inside.

(near the same is in the english (britain) files)

Please can you explain that!

I think it's a compile problem.

Wow - great catch!

Transifex has reserved the language slug that was used in all our transifex projects as a slug for the language.php files. Result was that the slug was renamed by transifex (without any prior notice) to language-1. End result that you noticed (and I did not) is that all language plugins after the change had empty language.php files!

Fixed my script to account for this and regenerated new plugins and uploaded to forge.

Thanks again for noticing and taking the time to report here.
karma up for you ;-)
