String Freeze and State of translations - Foreman 3.17

Hello,

We are currently in the process leading up to branching 3.17 and just wrapped up extracting the strings. Branching 3.17 and pulling in translations will be occurring on 2025-11-11. As part of this process, we update translations before each release candidate and the final GA release. Depending on the number of release candidates, there will be approximately 2 to 4 weeks to translate the new strings.

If you are a plugin maintainer, please extract the strings so translators can do their work.

The RC1 and RC2 dates are 2025-11-11 and 2025-11-25.

Please refer to the scheduling and planning post for more information and dates: Foreman 3.17 Schedule and Planning

If you are a native speaker of any of the above languages and would like to contribute to the translations, please see Translating - Foreman for more information about how to do so. The procedure is very straightforward, as it is carried out using an easy-to-use web application that shows the strings to be translated and requests input. Please contact me if you are an active translator and want to become a coordinator or reviewer for your language.

If you believe that certain languages should be added or that we should avoid pulling translations for some languages that may have a poor translation rate, please let us know in the comments section below.

As German is dropping with every release I asked for some time to help with the translation. I got @donien blocked for cw03/26 and myself at least for some time in the same week. So if someone wants to help with translation and coordinate with us, please get in contact with us here or via private message!
