We have some commands on PR list which are ready to be merged. I mean, with 2, 3 or even more approvals already done, and no other objections for them to get merged. Would you mind if I start merging those specifically so we can clean the list a bit?

Hi, while a majority of PRs are GTG, there are some old unmerged PRs which are waiting for review from native speakers (codeowners) and also to facilitate discussion for technical and stylistic changes.

For the first type of unmerged translation PRs, we can wait for 2 weeks before merging them.
For the second type, it is a bit complicated we wait for most of the maintainers/contributors to raise their viewpoints and after a thorough discussion we proceed with the change.

Check out https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/main/contributing-guides/maintainers-guide.md#ii-handling-prs for complete details about the process.

While I would appreciate it, there is no rush to merge every PR immediately, instead, it is better to facilitate discussion and for PRs that didn't get merged before October 31st we by default mark all applicable open PRs with the hacktoberfest-accepted label as documented in last point of the handling PRs section. Also, if new contributors ping maintainers for faster reviews or merge of their PR we generally guide them to not do it and also to open PRs for other projects too (depending not only on tldr).

Is there any particular rule regarding special characters in placeholder of translations? For instance, translations of {{path/to/directory}}, translation of directory in my language is diretório; currently translations don't have accute accent, as "diretorio"

I don't there we use Special characters for Spanish in placeholders and other places i.e. https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/main/contributing-guides/translation-templates/common-arguments.md

I don't think we use special characters for Spanish translation in placeholders and other places.

Accents are allowed but since the pt_BR one doesn't use it IG most of the placeholder would be the same.

Hi, waldyrious Vitor Henrique do you guys know if accents are allowed in the placeholder translations

Accents are allowed but since the pt_BR one doesn't use it IG most of the placeholder would be the same (so if we are updating the template now after confirmation we might need to check the existing pages too).

Hi, waldyrious Vitor Henrique Renie Siqueira do you guys know if accents are allowed in the placeholder translations for pt_BR?

K.B.Dharun Krishna: I also do not see a problem for the same reason mentioned before by rafaelff about polish. So technically it seems ok.
Now, just to give my two cents in the discussion: as a pt_BR native speaker, I don't see a really need on using accents for pt_BR placeholders. I mean, I know the correct way would be "diretório" instead of "diretorio", but it is not something that breaks the reading or makes the understanding harder for this context. It would be a problem for descriptions, not for placeholders. So, I would prefer investing people's time on translating/updating more commands than changing every placeholder to use accents.

I might be able to do a great sed work to change wherever is missing an accent. Obviously a big PR with that change, but not much work thereafter. Would you still mind me changing them all?
