			String completion: Estionian Alxendra: Update regarding Estonian; Currently there are no active translatros for Estonias, so might need to pause it. Danish Alexandra: There are translators/reviwer for Danish Eden: Keep up updated, so I activate machine translation. Pedro: Correct pt to pt_PT Cecilla: Support of indonesian
10 min	LexiQA	Eden	LexiQA will be integrated in our edx-platform project in TX to test for three months with defined JS and Python parameters, which will prevent variable definition errors and false positive results.
30 min	Jam Board: Open edX Translation WG Feedback for Enhancement Efforts - Google Jamboard	Ghassan	Review board Translations Working Group • openedx General outlines Translation context 3 cards are realted to missing translation instutrciosn/string description. It would be helpful to create map between transltion resources => to UX/UI, (Translator would use it as a refence to know what part of the platform crosspond to what resouce in TX ) Unusual terms Google somtimes fails to translate them Term that are very spesfic to Open edX, can be challanging to translate. an example is Course Run To mititgate challenging terms Wikipeida can be used to check what a spesfic term is used in different langauge. Glossary can be helpful, so translatros could refer to them per langauge. so that the term translation can be consistant around the paltform
10 min	PSA regarding OEP-58:	@Omar Al-Ithawi	Omar did a big hack sync for thee sample languages `ar,fr_CA,de` in order to start testing the openedx-translations, which involved the following: Download all relevant translations from the `edx-platform` and `xblocks` Transifex project Upload all the resource translations into `openedx-translations` Transifex project Mark all as reviewed When the OEP-58 is finalized, we can start over with empty translations or make another sync depending on the #wg-translations recommendation.Related scripts: GitHub - zeit-labs/openedx-transifex-one-time-sync
