We have now successfully completed a *test* conversion for all 
languages. This means that we now have a Git repo for each language that 
the KDE software is (or previously has been) translated into.

The Git repos (hopefully) contain the *entire* history of the 
translation files for each language, from 1997 up to (February) 2025. 
Many files have changed locations over time, and some languages have 
also changed their language code. We have tried to handle this properly.

If you are interested in testing the Git repo for your language and give 
feedback on any issues, please email me. For now, the Git repos are 
stored on a server which is not publicly accessible, but I can upload 
some of the repos to KDE Invent for you to test. (This is a manual 
process and can take some time.)

More information on the SVN-to-Git conversion plan and current progress 
can be found here:

More technical information on how we do the actual conversion can 
(temporarily) be found here:
