Kabook PTE Project Monitor

Kabook PTE Project Monitor helps Project Translation Editors and localization contributors monitor WordPress.org plugins and themes from one dashboard.

You can add project slugs or supported WordPress.org URLs, select a WordPress locale, and run checks to compare the latest release information with the last state you marked as reviewed.

The plugin is designed to help you track public release and translation-state changes for projects that are not installed on the current site.

Features

• Monitor WordPress.org plugins and themes without installing them locally.
• Detect new plugin and theme releases from WordPress.org.
• Monitor plugin Stable and Stable Readme translation projects.
• Monitor the single translation project used by WordPress.org themes.
• Run a single-project check through AJAX with inline progress feedback.
• Process full checks through a resumable queue suitable for large project lists.
• Continue incomplete queues through WP-Cron when the dashboard is closed.
• Highlight unreviewed changes with yellow and red severity levels.
• Mark the latest checked state as reviewed through AJAX with inline progress feedback, without reloading the page or losing the active search, filter, or sort.
• Mark several selected projects as reviewed at once with a bulk action, and see who last reviewed a project and when.
• Set a project-specific check interval that overrides the plugin-wide schedule for that one project.
• Get WordPress.org suggestions while typing project names or slugs to add.
• View translation coverage, translated strings, untranslated strings, project counts, and an encouragement score.
• Search and filter projects by type or review status.
• Sort projects by priority, untranslated strings, completion, release gap, last check, or name.
• Display 20, 50, or 100 projects per page.
• Add multiple plugin and theme slugs or supported WordPress.org URLs at once.
• Export the monitored plugin and theme links and monitoring settings to a JSON file, and import them back in on this site or another.
• Follow the current administrator’s WordPress language automatically or choose a locale manually.
• Open the correct Stable, Stable Readme, or theme translation page directly, pre-filtered to untranslated, waiting, or fuzzy strings, or to the unfiltered project page — your choice.
• Configure the monitoring interval and red-alert thresholds.

Review status

The first successful check establishes a baseline. A later release or translation-source change can make a project appear yellow or red.

After completing or reviewing the translation work, run the project check again to refresh the displayed statistics, then select “Mark reviewed”. This saves the current remote state as the new baseline and turns the row green.

Green means the latest checked state was acknowledged as reviewed. It does not necessarily mean every translation string is complete; completion is shown separately in the translation columns and dashboard.

Supported project inputs

You can add projects using any of the following formats:

• Plain slugs
• plugin:slug
• theme:slug
• WordPress.org plugin pages
• WordPress.org theme pages
• Locale subdomain plugin pages
• Supported Translate.WordPress.org project URLs

External services

This plugin connects only to public services operated by WordPress.org, and only after an administrator enables external monitoring requests.

It uses the official WordPress.org APIs to retrieve public project metadata and translation statistics:

• Plugins & Themes API: Used to fetch versions, release history, and project details.
  https://api.wordpress.org/

• Translations API: Used to retrieve the standard WordPress locale catalog for mapping locales.
  https://api.wordpress.org/translations/

• GlotPress API: Used to retrieve public translation statistics from the official translation platform.
  https://translate.wordpress.org/

Requests may include the project type, project slug, selected locale, the server IP address required for the network connection, and the site URL included in the request user agent.

No data is sent to Kabook or to any third-party service operated by the plugin author. All communication is strictly between your server and WordPress.org.

These services are governed by the WordPress.org privacy policy and terms:
