There is no Polish language again.
Why does the Polish language disappear with every update of a newer version of Darktable?

The translation or its update must be provided by someone in time before the publication of a new release. If this is not the case or if the translation is incomplete, it will not appear.
Because no one care to provide the translation for the new release. What do you expect? Some magic?
Question: Do you want to contribute? If so please get in touch with the project’s team. Thanks.

I don’t understand. You mean the previous translation can’t stay?
Of course not! Do you really want an app with half the strings translated? How this would looks like to users? We have a small limit where we publish a translation not 100% complete, but passed this threshold the translation is removed for quality reasons.

@Damian_J , are these translations any good?
@Pascal_Obry , would machine translations perhaps be better than nothing, and enable DT to be in more languages?
Not without human review, especially since we have so much jargon.

Fully agreed with @paperdigits here. In the UI there is many short sentence, some keywords, all those are hard to translate properly without context.

In addition, the tooling for translating strings is fairly straight forward, you don’t even need github (but doing it that was is preferred) and if you’re like “I can’t code but I still want to help!” then translations is a great way to do so. @Pascal_Obry gives a clear window with a good amount of time to do the translations, so its not like you even have to follow development that closely.
As we usually say, please get involved, it’ll make things better for everyone!

OK. Fek it. I don’t mind looking dumb, obviously. I think previously I installed Darktable using a graphical app store but would like to install another way now. 5.2 isn’t available on Ubuntu’s app store. If I install using Terminal commands, it gives me 4.6 or something. I used some ubuntuhandbook1 command I found on the internet and that downloaded 5.2 but then my ubuntu installation went beserk. All that stuff on the downloads section of the Darktable webpage is a complete mystery to me (maybe I shouldn’t be using Linux, tbh). I think that OBS method only gave me 5.0. Any suggestions cos I’m not sure I’m even asking questions that are questions here? Thanks!
Appimage?
Yeah, downloaded that, I think. Not sure what next
There’s a default app when I double click on the downloaded appimage. Disk Mounter. Try to open it with that. Nothing visible happens.
???
Here are debian packages for 5.2 for Ubuntu 24.04, 24.10 and 25.04 and how to install from OBS repository.
Yeah, what’s all that text? I mean, seriously, I have NO IDEA what I’m doing. Imagine getting into a car for the first time and the instructor says, right, just drive down that road. I’ve tried copying and pasting the lines individually into Terminal and get all kinds of text back, mostly looks like it’s saying “look, friend, just go buy a Mac, I can’t help you”
maybe there’s something explanatory on those links for people who know about linux or maybe i’m looking at the wrong bit but i can’t see anything i would define as an explanation there
Commands to run in a terminal. Open a terminal and run them one by one.

Thanks. That’s useful information. I don’t think people get that some people need to be shown which is the brake and which is the accelerator. Having said that. I think I already did this (but at least now I know that my guess was right) and it didn’t work. Will try again now.
Edit: Just deleted dumb thing

If i input the first line, it gives me this:
deb /repositories/graphics:/darktable/xUbuntu_24.04 - openSUSE Download /
Does that mean it worked or it didn’t?
Edit: Right. Did the other ones and this time it’s worked. Thanks a lot for your patience and the step by step explanation of how to open the car door.
