A Translation group manager oversees the translators and translation moderators for a language. They evaluate translators and grant the translation moderator role to translators with track records of accurate translations.

See More granular group permission control deployed for more information about permissions.

Impact: 

Translation group managers extend the usability of Drupal to a worldwide audience. They assure the quality of translated text. Providing Drupal that is usable by speakers of non-English languages is key to Principle 2: Build software that everyone can use.

Accountable for: 
  • Following and enforcing the Drupal Code of Conduct within your language group on localize.drupal.org.
  • Managing the membership of the language group
  • Granting Moderator role to members who have been Translators for a while and have made good translations.
  • Maintaining pages describing standards, conventions, and common vocabulary for your language group.
How to get started: 

If you have been a Translation moderator for a while, ask your current group leader to grant you Manager status. Or, apply to be the manager of an abandoned language group.
