Summary0021789: Update language statuses (alpha/beta/complete) for 2024.2
DescriptionIn the process of doing MMW language updates over the past week, it became apparent that:
- Many of the translations done by chatgpt are inconsistent/of poor quality. This can result in major miscommunications about what certain actions do (e.g. remove vs delete / from a Playlist vs from the Playing list / etc.).
- Many of these inaccurate translations are communicated as being complete (i.e. no 'alpha' or 'beta' designator).

In the short term we should label languages correctly (until such a time that we've updated the languages in manner similar to the effort that we took for MMA). The general approach I'd recommend is that:
- 95% + translated with human verification - no indicator
- 50% + translated with human verification - beta
- Given the issues with AI translations, anything with no human verification or with less than 50% translated should be considered 'alpha'
Jiri, please let me know if you agree with this approach.


I don't have a list of which languages are entirely translated by AI, but I've indicated below what I believe the current status is vs what it should be (based on #21543 and the state of translations).

Afrikaans ---> ?beta?
Catalan
Česky/Czech
Dansk ---> ?beta?
Deutsch
English
Español (Chile)/Spanish (Chile)
Español (Latin America)/Spanish (Latin America)
Español/Spanish
Français/French
Hrvatski/Croatian - alpha
Italiano/Italian
Magyar/Hungarian
Nederlands
Norsk (bokmål)/Norwegian ---> beta
Polski/Polish
Português (de Portugal)/Portuguese - alpha
Português (do Brasil)/Portuguese (Brasil)
Serbian - alpha
Slovenčina/Slovak - alpha
Slovenian
Suomi/Finnish - alpha
Svenska/Swedish
Tiếng Việt/Vietnamese - alpha
Türkçe/Turkish - beta ---> "" (no indicator as this is now mostly complete)
Ελληνικά/Greek
Русский/Russian
українська мова/Ukrainian
Hebrew/עברית ---> ?beta?
Arabic/العربية ---> ?alpha?
हिंदी/Hindi ---> ?beta?
Sinhala - alpha
한국어/Korean
日本語/Japanese(Download)
简体中文/Chinese(Simplified) ---> Beta
繁体中文/Chinese(Traditional)(Download)

I've included the full list above, since it's important that the status of the languages matches those that are displayed in the Installer (and in the past, making changes seems to cause issues in the installer list).

Next steps:
1) Rusty to agree with Jiri on the proposed approach
2) Rusty to review with Michal, the questionable entries (Dansk, Norsk) and create a complete list
3) Michal/Petr to implement the changes in the languages & installer
