From 9352f2566cda63ad9ec1ec159f1ae7b836acbbef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: 0ko <0ko@noreply.codeberg.org> Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2024 13:43:54 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] chore(i18n): add readme (#6296) Give documentation more visibility. I hope it will. Also document attribution because the TRANSLATORS file is probably confusing.
