GIMP's `master` branch string freeze

Hello translators!

We are finally moving on with a string freeze for GIMP 3.0.0! :partying_face:

As you all imagine, this will be a huge release and we are going to have a release candidate first (GIMP 3.0.0-RC1), then possibly more depending on reported bugs. This is why we don’t set a release date for sure here.

We are feature-frozen already and we think that all remaining work-in-progress we had which would touch localized strings are done. If ever we realize that we missed some strings which should really be added/updated, we’ll ping you here. Hopefully this won’t happen.

Obviously we welcome translations on all GIMP-related modules, including on GEGL. :hugs:

Notification to translators:

Thanks to @ajonsson who noticed it, there was an obvious typo for a string saying "Could not open '%s' for reading AA" (the “AA” in the end was not supposed to be there).

Since it made no sense whatsoever, I just fixed it with this commit.

Sorry for this! :bowing_man:

Sorry all, the great @ajonsson found another bug in text which breaks string freeze: menus: fix Plug-In CamelCase (!1805) · Merge requests · GNOME / GIMP · GitLab

This one was a bit harder to discover as it was hidden in the XML menu files. :sweat_smile:

I realized today that I completely forgot to write the AppStream <release> tag so I’m going to add it shortly.

This being said, AFAIK, this won’t break string freeze because anyway the <release> tag’s description are not being translated right now in GNOME translation infrastructure. But just, I thought I’d add a notice here about this, just in case…
