GSoC'26 - Translator Feedback Loop [Week Report #11]

For an overview of how things are going, see the Kanban board of the project

Done this week:
 
- Raised a pull request on the Joomla core repository, (the first to core of this project): editing a category quietly dropped any unpublished translation from its association group, and republishing did not bring it back. It was found while extending re-translation to categories, traced to a 2018 change meant for the frontend language switcher, verified against `5.4-dev`, and fixed without changing what the switcher displays (joomla-cms#48208). 
- Made the translator views work in the frontend, so a translator account with no access to the administrator at all can do the full job (a

GSoC'26 - Translator Feedback Loop [Week Report #10]

For an overview of how things are going, see the Kanban board of the project

Done this week:
 
- Ran the whole feedback loop end to end for the first time: an article was translated, corrected by hand, approved, and distilled into three rules, and re-translating the same source then produced the translation with all three corrections on its own, covering terminology, tone and a term kept untranslated.
- Split saving from approving in the editor: Save now only saves, Approve records the corrections against the machine draft, and Approve and Publish also makes the translation live (#109).
- Fixed saving a translation rule, which had stopped working for every rule type after the previous form change (a

Edit JCM Kickoff Meeting for the August issue

Attendees: Anja de Crom, Claudia Weber-Lenck, Brian Teeman, Viviana Menzel, Herman Peeren, Emmanuel Lemor, Louise Hawkins, Richard Gosler

What did we talk about

This was a chat meeting to go collect ideas for the August issue - the birthday issue, Joomla turns 21 on the 17th. Creativity flowed and ideas were thrown around, so the issue once again looks good (this must be the most boring team within the whole of Joomla). We have a good number of quality articles in the planning. 

The meeting lasted - wow - a little under two hours.
