- 2. Marko Heijnen • Lead developer of GlotPress • Core contributor for WordPress • Working for 1&1 as their WordPress specialist
- 3. To start with, what is
- 4. GlotPress • GlotPress is a collaborative, web-based software translation tool • GlotPress will let you, or an entire team, to translate their favourite software • It is as open-source like WordPress is

- 10. The history behind it
- 11. The history • Started in April 2008 by Nikolay Bachiyski. • Uses BackPress as a framework. • And it’s OOP developed. • March 2013 I started managing GlotPress. • In 2014 we had our first GSoC project.
- 12. How it is structured
- 13. OOP • Uses BackPress which has a lot of useful classes (and functions). • And we build on top of that our features like routers, formats and things. • Those three type of objects always need to extend the generic class. • The generic classes have shared functionality or abstract methods the derived class needs.
- 14. GP_Thing • Because of the generic classes we can make our code more readable. • You can define in a thing which fields are required to create a new item. • A thing is a project, user, translations etc. • GP_Glossary file has only 42 lines of code and has all validations in place.
- 15. The use of functions • We still use them a lot like WordPress does for in themes. • A lot of them are copied over from WordPress. • This is a great thing cause if you are using GlotPress yourself you can “easily” add a feature to GlotPress because the hook system is in place. • And so many other great features you use when building for WordPress
- 16. CLI • GlotPress has a lot of scripts that you can or must use. • Like adding a new admin is a must due missing user management. Will have an add user script soon. • Or things like import/export originals or translations. • It creates possibilities to build automatic tasks
- 17. WordPress core & translate.WordPress.org
- 19. Current Status downloadable packages • 141 locales with a wp_locale • 41 locales are up to date • 15 locales are still on 4.1 • 8 locales are one major version behind • 16 locales are behind by two or more major version • 61 locales don’t have a package • 40 locales have a language pack • Oldest version is 2.8.5.
- 20. For Czech
- 21. For future • More integrated in the WordPress environment • Soon it will include all plugins and themes • Currently ~10.000 plugins are translatable

- 25. Upcoming features • Decline with feedback • User dashboard • Notifications • Improved workflow • New theme https://github.com/GlotPress/New-Default-Theme
- 26. What can you do with it as a developer?
- 27. Use it yourself • Using it for your own themes, plugins or projects • Almost as easy to extend as WordPress • It has a grunt plugin to download translations easily
- 28. Grunt THE JAVASCRIPT TASK RUNNER http://gruntjs.com • Running tasks by using CLI • Easy to use, harder to configure • Extendable with your own plugins • Uses npm for plugin management
- 29. The GlotPress grunt task grunt.initConfig({ glotpress_download: { core: { options: { domainPath: 'languages', url: 'http://wp-translate.org', slug: 'tabify-edit-screen', textdomain: 'tabify-edit-screen', } }, }, });
- 30. GP_Plugin • Has a set of useful methods based on your defined id. • get_option, update_option • add_action, add_filter • remove_action, remove_filter
- 31. The base of your plugin <?php class My_First_Plugin extends GP_Plugin { public $id = 'my-first-plugin'; public function __construct() { } } GP::$plugins->my_first_plugin = new My_First_Plugin;
