i agree with both of you.   digikam is 1.7GB now, so just editing a
markdown file is probably easier in the web interface.

gitlab is just a tad different from github, so your pull request works
out a bit different.

Regarding the translation, I can confirm that I have the flatpak digikam in
my language by default. If I go to the language selection menu, there's only
three entries: US English, British English, and Catalan (the language of my
system).

By the way, I asked that the other day, but I was flooded by the other
messages. Do you know in which folder I have to place the .color files (for
color schemes) now, so the flatpak version detects them?

This want mean certainly no application translations available in the
bundle... This is what i suspected...

Hum the sandboxing...

At startup digiKam must print where is try to found the color scheme files :

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/core/libs/widgets/mainview/thememanager.cpp#L194

Run digiKam with debug traces enabled on the console following
instructions here :

https://www.digikam.org/contribute/

Run digiKam flatpak from a console and search the debug line. Paths
must be indicated. Warning, this debug trace mode is very verbose...

No. appimage include all ..mo file (machine object) a binary
representation of textual translations. This take space a lots, and
typically, all translations done by KDE mys be available in switch
language dialog from Help menu.

In cmake script we use a special dlag to checkout digiKam translation
before compiling. It's currently disable in Flatpak settings. I would
to see if low level Flatpak script do the job instead, but now i'm
sure to the response is no.

No. native code is very fast. We have left beta stage since a while
and we stabilize implementation now...
