			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>
<p>As you know, <a href="http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2009/11/19/a-new-translation-platform/">WordPress.com is translated using the GlotPress platform</a>. In order to keep spam out of the translations, and also to keep them correct and coherent, all strings suggested by users need to be validated before being shown live.</p>
<p>However, of <a href="http://translate.wordpress.com">all the languages that WordPress.com supports</a>, a few have no validators at all, which means that users suggest strings that are never shown live, and that makes us sad.</p>
<p>This is thus a plea for all those who speak one (or several) of the languages below, or know someone who does (or know someone who knows someone...;) ), to consider applying for validator permissions for your language, by creating a topic on this very translations forum. What it entails is explained here:</p>
<p><a href="http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/on-validator-profiles-in-the-translation-platform-1" rel="nofollow">http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/on-validator-profiles-in-the-translation-platform-1</a></p>
<p>And here are the languages which have no validators:</p>
<ul>
<li>Assamese</li>
<li>Asturian</li>
<li>Belarusian</li>
<li>Bulgarian</li>
<li>Catalan</li>
<li>Catalan (Balear)</li>
<li>Estonian</li>
<li><em>French (Canada)</em> - ok :)</li>
<li>Georgian</li>
<li>Icelandic</li>
<li>Kannada</li>
<li>Latvian</li>
<li>Lithuanian</li>
<li>Malayam</li>
<li>Marathi</li>
<li>Mirandese</li>
<li><em>Mongolian</em> - ok :)</li>
<li>Nepali</li>
<li>Occitan</li>
<li>Pashto</li>
<li>Punjabi</li>
<li>Sinhala</li>
<li><em>Slovak</em> - ok :)</li>
<li>Slovenian</li>
<li>Tagalog</li>
<li><em>Telugu</em> - ok :)</li>
<li>Ukrainian</li>
<li><em>Vietnamese</em> - ok :)</li>
<li>Yiddish</li>
</ul>
<p>Finally, a few notes:</p>
<ul>
<li>If you <strong>do</strong> want to become a validator, we <strong>strongly recommend</strong> that you get in touch with the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language">WordPress.org translators for your language</a>. If you have no success in contacting them, drop us a line on the  <a href="http://wppolyglots.wordpress.com/">WordPress.org Polyglots blog.</a></li>
<li>I'll be publishing a similar post here, for the languages which haven't been validated in a very long time, or which have a large number of strings pending validation.</li>
<li>This sticky post is closed to comments on purpose, to encourage you to start a new topic for your language.</li>
</ul>
