I think it would be amazing to open up WordPress to have a first priority experience of the thousands of plugins and themes that are available for people who do not speak a word of English.

My question for Matt (starting at 05:20) actually was supposed to point in the direction of what needs to happen to make that language experience happen. :)

Some Rosetta sites already have the translatable themes and plugins directories Matt refers to mentioning ro.wordpress.org. However, somebody will have to translate a ton of content here.

Those somebodies will want to be able to discuss whatever issue comes up in their very own language, and not necessarily in one of the global teams on make.wordpress.org. Actual discussions might happen in their own local Slack channel if they created one, but meeting notes still need to go somewhere in order to be archived and accessible for a broader audience.

Hence the “pressing” towards make-dot-org-like P2s for Rosetta sites. It’s all about the people who will have to (and want to) make a multi-language experience on wordpress.org happen. Those people simply need appropriate means of communication. In full acknowledgement all this is being worked on, my question was whether and how that working process could be prioritized.

(Btw, in my question I mentioned wordpress.org looked a little “old”. It doesn’t anymore in many parts already! There’s a silent redesign taking place the results of which can be seen e.g. on translate.wordpress.org as well as Rosetta sites like de.wordpress.org.)
