The strings can be translated using AI systems like ChatGPT or Google Gemini, but double checking is needed. If unsure leave in english.

Note: Some strings are already translated, e.g. "Scale", probably due to detection through blenders RNA System: https://developer.blender.org/docs/handbook/translating/developer_guide/#python-translation-api:

Please note that here too, most messages are detected automatically. In particular, text parameter of all bpy.types.UILayout’s functions is handled as expected

UI Languages great to have:

English (default)
German (commonly used)
French (commonly used)
Spanish (commonly used)
Italian (commonly used)
Russian (commonly used, different symbols)
Chinese (commonly used, different symbols)
Japan (commonly used, different symbols)
Hindi (commonly used, different symbols)
Arabic (commonly used, different symbols)

For other languages used by blender refer to https://translate.blender.org/projects/blender-ui/ui/, feel free to suggest any further additions to the list.

It would be great to have the descriptions of the import/export operators as well as other important messages localized to various languages.
