Description

Front-end requirements:

  • Language selector does not show as country flags. (Many countries speak multiple languages, so describing a language with a flag should be avoided.)
  • Languages can be changed without needing to log in to one's WordPress.org account.
  • Once a language is selected, it is applied globally.
  • Content of the selected language is shown above non-translated content.
  • English content is still shown where translations don't exist.

Back-end requirements:

  • Translators do not have permission to create or publish new content.
  • Translators have permission to both translate any content, and review content translated by others.
  • A flow can be implemented where translations must be approved (reviewed) before published.
  • Sensei content types can be translated in the same way as native post types.
  • Taxonomies can be translated.
  • Translated content is indexed and searchable by Jetpack Search.
