" summary

Explains concrete localization flow: WordPress downloads .mo/.po files and uses GlotPress web editor for daily string updates; language packs also set time zone, word-count rules and regional codes. Notes a surprising local fact: 80% of Japanese CMS sites run WordPress and many developers never read English docs. Recommends collaborating with polyglot teams via Slack/Google Groups, sharing source on GitHub pull requests to fix translatable strings, and warns against raw Google Translate for Japanese.
