If this project want to be translated to more languages, it need to be much easier to do than adding and editing so many files 😥

@clechasseur commented on GitHub (Dec 26, 2024):

I'm very late to replying to this, sorry.

This is true, but it's just a statement, e.g. if I'd like the project to be translated into more languages, then it could be made easier to translate. However, translating a project like Path Copy Copy, even if it was easier, is a pretty big endeavor. And from experience, the hardest part of a translation project is not the initial translation effort; it's the maintenance: when new UI elements are added, translations need to follow suit, otherwise they fall behind.

I'm not sure Path Copy Copy is sufficiently important for other people to volunteer enough effort to translate it and maintain the translation project. I've had only one offer so far and that PR seems to have been abandoned.
