Translation and localization resources
In this post, I collect some interesting resources to translate and localize software.
WP-CLI intro
Slides from my talk at Coruña WordPress meetup (November 3, 2022).
Translating WordPress faster
As Galician GTE, I translate a lot of strings from English to Galician: WordPress core, WordPress.org infrastructure, plugins, themes, … As a bilingual speaker (Galician and Spanish languages), I realized I can translate faster if I use the Spanish translations as starting point, so I develop a CLI tool to translate all WordPress stuff from Spanish to Galician, using the open-source translations created by the Spanish community (thank you, folks). A few months later, I converted this CLI tool in a website, so you can use it without any installation. And, of course, I have released it as open source (AGPL).
How to use PHPCS and PHPCBF with a single WordPress file
PHPCS and PHPCBF are two well-know PHP scripts used in the PHP development to (PHPCS) detect violations of a defined coding standard, and (PHPCBF) to automatically correct coding standard violations.
I usually use both with composer in my WordPress projects, adding them as dependency in the composer.json file.
But sometimes I need to check some individual PHP file without adding PHPCS and PHPCBF as dependency. In this post, I am going to explain how I do this.
Updating WordPress to the nightly version
Sometimes, it is useful to use the WordPress nightly version on your local environment, to avoid problems with your code in the near future.
Testing WordPress functions in the CLI
Running the GlotPress tests
GlotPress has some PHPUnit tests. In this post, I will go to explain how to run it in your local machine.
Using the dump() and dd() debug helpers in WordPress
Using e() or esc_html_() when translating on WordPress
In a talk at the WordCamp Spain online 2021 Adriá Cobo asked me one interesting question about these 2 functions (e() and esc_html_()):
If everything that is printed must be escaped, what is the point of _e()? Is it a legacy code?
In this post, I try to answer this question.
