------------------------------------------------+------------------------
I am using LANGUAGE_CODE = 'zh-Hant' and USE_I18N = True on the admin
site, but translations for phrases like “start typing to filter…”, “Please
correct the errors below.”, “First, enter a username and password. Then,
you’ll be able to edit more user options.”, or “Hold down “Control”, or
“Command” on a Mac, to select more than one.” do not work properly.
However, if I switch to other languages, such as zh-Hans or ja, the
translations display correctly (only changing the LANGUAGE_CODE, all other
code remains the same).

Comment:

Hello twFroggen!

Thank you for your report. Please note that the issue you are describing
is caused by the English string not having an available translation for
the language you are using.
Translations are handled at
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/localizing/#translations
Transifex], the normal workflow is to translate strings using the
Transifex platform (https://explore.transifex.com/django/django-docs/),
and then periodically, we fetch the translations from Transifex to put
them in this repo.

For more information and help, you can post in the
[https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/internals/i18n/14 Django Forum].

Replying to [comment:2 Natalia Bidart]:
Thank you for your reply. I visited the Transifex website and noticed
that, as you mentioned, the zh-Hant translation is not 100% complete.
However, I have a question: I found some strings in the Django source code
that are present in the .po files, but they are not correctly translated.
Why is that?

Translations are completed by volunteers from our community who donate
their time when they can. If you notice any incorrect or missing
translations, and if you have the availability to contribute, we encourage
you to join the translation team for your language. Please reach out in
the [https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/internals/i18n/14 ​Django Forum's
Internationalization category] to be added to the language team of your
choice and help improve these translations.

Thanks!

I applied a week ago, but I haven't received any response or approval yet.
I introduced myself on the Django internationalization forum and applied
to join Transifex, but I haven't received any response from either the
forum or Transifex. What can I do next to join the translation team?
