Translated Content Peer Guidelines

Policies for community maintenance teams

Reviewing and issue queue

It is the responsibility of the active community maintenance team for each active locale to keep up-to-date with reviews of pull requests and handling issues filed against that locale. You can filter the relevant pull requests and issues for each locale using the relevant label — l10n-fr, l10n-ja, l10n-ko , l10n-pt-br, l10n-ru, l10n-zh and l10n-es.

Requirements for keeping locales up-to-date

Active community maintenance teams are expected to keep their locales maintained and reasonably up-to-date. This means:

  • Reviewing and actioning all pull requests within 2 weeks.
  • Triaging and fixing all actionable issues within 1 month.
  • Making reasonable progress on keeping MDN's Tier 1 content (definition TBD) synchronized with the en-US versions. This means some progress should be made each week, e.g. updating an article to be in sync with the English version, removing or fixing a bad quality article…

If no progress is made on a locale in these areas within 1 month, the locale will be considered inactive, and edits will stop being accepted.

Review teams

The review teams for each locale are:


Synchronization with the en-US document structure

Periodically we synchronize all the localized document tree structures with the en-US tree structure (English slugs only), to make the documentation easier to manage. When documents are removed from en-US it results in orphaned and conflicting documents within a sub-directory of each locale folder.

Active locale maintenance teams are invited to spend some time exploring the orphaned and conflicting documents, to see whether any of this work is worth keeping (either adding to, or merging with an existing document in, the main tree), or whether it can just be deleted.

When a synchronization occurs maintenance teams are given two weeks to decide what to do with the affected documents in their locales to keep things in sync.

See the guide about orphaned and conflicting pages for more details about how to deal with such pages.
