Hi all,

First let me thank Mechtilde for the tremendous job she is doing!

I still remember the day (OpenRheinRuhr 2018?) when I complained about
the broken translation process and she instantly took over. Since then a
lot of things have been accomplished.

Now we are able to create language templates from source code, import
them into Pootle, update the translations, export them back to SDF and
commit them.

In parallel we have "recruited" a handful of translators (Amharic,
Kabyle, Oromo, Estonian, Latvian) so we hope to release AOO 4.2.0 with
these new localizations [1].

To be clear, the plan is to automate the translation process on the
Pootle server, so that once a week (?) the most recent translations are
exported and committed to Git.

But all this is done in our spare time and we all have a personal life,
so please be patient (or join the team)!

(Sorry for this being a bit Off Topic now...)

Regards,

   Matthias
