In the Shop 1.4.4 release, we're excited to announce a major enhancement to our translation system through our collaboration with Crowdin.com. This integration is seamlessly integrated into our GitHub repositories, creating a unified platform for translating both existing and new content. This means that even if a language was previously fully translated, our translators and community members can now contribute new translations and make improvements. As we release new versions, the completed translations will automatically be incorporated, ensuring that our platform remains multilingual and up to date. Additionally, we've introduced some hard-coded words into the language files, which will require translation. While these can be modified by anyone, we plan to soon include them in the official language updates. We appreciate your dedication to our community and value your contributions to making our platform more accessible and inclusive for users around the world.
