Update translations that have not been human-edited since they were originally created using Google Translate with:

  • Better terminology and more natural phrasing
  • Correct grammatical forms (singular/plural, verb tenses)
  • Proper capitalization and punctuation
  • More contextually appropriate word choices

These improvements were provided by Claude Code, using this prompt:

For each of these language files, can you invoke a sub-agent to improve the translations? Here are instructions to provide for improving each locale files: Each file contains strings like "%@ cannot be attached because it is larger than 25MB.": "%@ kan nie aangeheg word nie, want dit is groter as 25MB.",, where the english is the key and the localized string is the value. Variables are present, and may be in %@ or %1$@, %2$@… format, which allows the order to be reversed if necessary. This is a desktop email client application, like Gmail or Apple Mail, that also includes calendar features and allows users to configure accounts via IMAP. Be sure that the translations use computer terminology when other possible translations exist (cases like Paste - it’s the command, not the liquid)

I checked es_419 and it looks like a good changes at least for es_419, it is more natural and more easy to understand.
