I have translation problems and can delete lang.. files I don't use?

Hi guys, I think I found my favourite system.

But I have some problems.
Recently I received a downloadable package for the Q4OS language translation, which I successfully translated and sent to the Q4OS team.

This: https://github.com/q4osteam/q4os-i18n/t … q4os-tools

However, I have found that even though I have integrated them into my own system, there are still many gaps.

What I'm dealing with now is the Discovery application installer.
I translated the English and Hungarian .mo files into .po files. And I noticed, when I compared the two versions, that there is a significant difference between them, the Hungarian version was missing at least 500 lines.
Now for Discovery, I copied them from the English and translated them. Finally I converted it back to a .mo file.
Copied it into place so that this part is now good.

With this in mind, I would like to ask where I can download all the .po files, the ones that I am sure contain everything. Because to copy so many files from the system in two versions, English and Hungarian, then convert them to .po, compare them, then comb them and translate them is a lot of work.

I tried to convert it in mass on a console, but there was no thanks, so I would skip that.

And then related to this language question, is it possible to delete the folders of unused languages from the system, or does it cause an error?

I thought I would keep the default English and the Hungarian language files, so that would free up some space and there wouldn't be so many folders in that section.

Discover application is part of Plasma, so team responsible for translations is KDE developers team https://kde.org/ or optionally Debian https://www.debian.org/ . We are not able to arrange translations for Discover.

... is it possible to delete the folders of unused languages from the system, or does it cause an error?

Don't delete any files that belong to Apt packages, that could make significant errors. However you can delete all the files you have implemented on your own.

Hello,

I have the Discover application already complet and translated so I don't have to bother with it, but there are many other things that are incomplete. That's why I asked.

I also understand the deletion problem, I would rather not deal with those parts deletion.

Thanks for your reply.
