Season of KDE 2026 - Fixing the Glossary in Lokalize (Final)

Monday, 6 April 2026
Greetings to the KDE community! This is a blog which follows my previous post and includes the work I did in the second half of Season of KDE.

Greetings! As we're nearing the end of SoK 2026, I am writing to share my experience and progress since my previous blog.
