Forward translations to main

Using translations submitted for 0.28.3 in #2986

I believe the translations in main are very old, so it probably won't harm just copying the strings from the branch into it.

However, just for the record, this is not the "proper" way of doing it. It would be better instead to upload the .pot from main into Crowdin, and then doing a sync, and then downloading the translations from there (with or without waiting for translators to translate more). The translations for identical or similar enough strings between branches will automatically be reused. This has the advantage of not destroying the translations for any string that only exists in main but not in other branches.

If we're going to "destroy" translations from main I can't really say, only by diffing the .pot files we can know for sure. If you want the safer route, it's better to do the way I described above.

This is exactly what I did: I took the recent .po files from 0.28.3 and merged them w/ a refreshed exiv2.pot from main. Old catalogs were not part of the process.

I suppose I could also use msgcat on the old main catalogs and the 0.28.3 ones first, and then refresh against the main exiv2.pot, that sound better?

Where you go from here is up to you (or some other L10N champion), as I already mentioned.

Hm, not entirely happy how msgcat works OOTB, have to play w/ the options...

But should be able to push a better version combining both old main and new 0.28.x translations, converting to draft for now.

Thanks for the feedback!
