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!
