Bohun's Polish translation (PR #1, reviewed by a Polish speaker) covers
every string in the catalogue, so it ships inside the app alongside French
and German rather than sitting unused in the repo.

Two defects had to be fixed before it could: 9056a6b's pl.json is not
parseable JSON on its own, because one entry carries a key with no value at
all ("Gap between the selection highlights in icon view…"), and "{n} other"
was written as a plural where the source msgid is plain text. That one is
a cell of the checksum report's counter row, beside "{n} niezgodności" and
"{n} brakujących", so it takes the same invariant genitive form.

One string had been reworded upstream after the pack was written, so the
translation was for the old wording. The English change only promoted a
parenthesis to its own sentence, and the Polish now does the same, keeping
the contributor's own words rather than inventing new ones. The two strings
I did write follow the pack's existing vocabulary (podświetlenie for a
highlight, zaznaczenie for a selection, Brak for None).

Translators are credited by name in the About window, not only in the
README: a language pack is the part of the app a user reads every day.

Known gap, recorded in TODO.md and LOCALIZATION.md rather than papered
over: the pack has one/other for all 105 plural entries, with "other"
holding the genitive (many) form, while plural.rs implements Polish
properly as one/few/many. Counts of 2 to 4 therefore fall back and read
"3 elementów" where Polish wants "3 elementy". Filling in "few" is 105
judgement calls in a language I do not speak, and not all are mechanical
(a phrase whose head is itself genitive does not take the nominative
plural the bare rule suggests), so it is a question for the pack's author.
