Thanks a lot Siebrand for pushing the translations so well! Thanks a lot Philip as well a LOT for making the app work. We can't have been an easy group for either of you. 

Thanks!

Sorry about that, Siebrand. We’ve been squeezing lots of work into very short sprints and your help is most appreciated.

The Translatewiki ecosystem is amazing and it is astonishing that translations can be done so quickly. I do understand the normal lead time is two weeks, as opposed to two months, but most of the recent UI changes were not anticipated even two weeks ago.

A big thanks to the translation community for jumping on this tight deadline!

Translation is currently only complete in German, French, Dutch,
Macedonian and Spanish. All other languages have at least 13 untranslated
out outdated strings.

@phil: I'm very unhappy with the major UI language overhaul and additions
that were done last minute. This has left translators no time to localise
the app and provide fully localised user experience. But hey, at least in
the US people can use it, right?!*

understand what localisation requires in our movement's ecosystem.
