Check your plugin on wordpress.org making sure it's ready for translation.
I came up with this script and run it on http://wp-info.org/tools/checkplugini18n.php to help myself in quickly checking why plugin authors say they have issues with:
- A language pack is not created
- My plugin is not ready for translation
- I have only dev, no stable
- Etc
Examples on https://github.com/ePascalC/CheckPluginForTranslation/blob/master/v0.2.5%20examples.pdf
Checks that will be performed:
- Plugin slug and base folder are reachable
- Readme in /trunk or /tags
- Filesize not over 10k
- Find the 'Required at least' and 'Stable Tag'
- Make sure 'Tested up to' is not over 'Required at least'
- Tags (not over 5)
- Versions under /tags
- Find the main php file
- Find Text Domain
- function load_plugin_textdomain (if needed) (still to be done)
- Existing language packs
- Translation status (still to be done)
- Translation editors - PTE
- Revision log
- Translation warning (as in #polyglots-warnings on slack) (still to be done)
- Language pack status (as in #meta-language-packs on slack) (still to be done)
- Waiting strings (still to be done)
- List with useful links
- Summary table
All help is appreaciated!
