Many times we release translations because they are complete, but when we update the pages the translations get outdated and we end up having very few translations.
I think if we give other readers the opportunity to maintain the translation, we will have more contributors per language and we will make it easier for translators to make a good translation, as they will be able to go back and forth from the translation platform to the website.emmapeelemmapeelhttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/manual/-/issues/143Add Finnish translation2023-04-03T17:35:35ZemmapeelAdd Finnish translationThe Tor Browser alpha already has Finnish translations enabled.

12:09 < olavinto[m]> * This phrase: "Tap on the hamburger menu next to the search bar and navigate to "My apps & games" >
"Installed". Select Tor Browser from the list of installed apps, then press the "Uninstall" button." has not been
exactly accurate for a while. The hamburger menu is still there although these days it's the logged in user's
icon and "My apps & games" has been "Manage apps and device" for a long time, and lastly, there is no "Installed"
12:09 < olavinto[m]> section under it anymore either but isntead there is a "Manage" (not the default tab, default is an overview) tab
and an "Installed" filtering option under that. Mainly that.
12:16 < olavinto[m]> Basically the whole section related to uninstalling the mobile app via Google Play now reads about like this in
Finnish: "Tap the user icon next to the search bar and select "Maintain apps and devices" > "Maintenance" from
the menu that opens. By default, the filtering options at the top are set to show only apps for which an update
is available. You can also search for Tor browser from the search field on the front page if you have a lot
12:16 < olavinto[m]> of applications on your device."
