For example, you can download freshly updated French file fdm_fr.po

Hello,
This is not a very good way because each language at least has its own plural forms, and this is an important thing...

As far as I know, after selecting proper language you can add proper plural forms. Did I miss something?

BTW. Where are FDM5 installers with newly added/updated languages files?

HI, I've made translation of FDM 5 into Ukrainian, and it's merged on GitHub, but even in the newest installer there's no Ukrainian. Some ither languages are absent as well. What's the problem and how to solve it?

Hello,
Of course, it's possible. What I was talking about is that it's a thing that can be forgotten to do or done incorrectly.

Currently only FDM 6 is in development, and the devs just don't care about older FDM versions. You can wait another year for updating installers or download updated *.qm lang files from my own archive on OneDrive:

It wasn't me who created unclear/incomplete readme.md.

And I'm still waiting for source files of FDM 3.9.7 last build. I'm sorry to urge you.

Hello,

I've downloaded FDM 6, and I see, that I have to update translation. However, on gitHub I see the old .po file, and in the new FDM some phrases are still not translated. What should I do to update my translation to Ukrainian?
