Translating a software package as large as GNOME into a new language can be an overwhelming task for even the most dedicated translation team. For this release six language teams have put in a stellar effort, increasing the completeness of their translations by more than 10%. Congratulations to the Kannada, Maithili, Marathi, Pashto, Croatian and Tamil teams for your hard work.
