Happy GNOME translators and reviewers,
I have just created the GNOME 50 release on Damned Lies, our translation platform.
Have a look at the GNOME release calendar in order to know the coming due dates. As a reminder:
- 2026-01-31 : API/ABI, Feature, UI, String Announcement Period
- 2026-02-21 : String Freeze for GNOME 50
- 2026-03-14 : GNOME 50 Tarballs due date
You can of course start translating before the string freeze but it might happen that you will have to rewrite some of already updated strings. The string freeze occurs 3 weeks after, and changes are not expected to come, except those who have been declared (or detected by Damned) explicitely and validated by the Coordination team (that you can reach here: Teams / Translation / Coordination · GitLab ).
