I just read most of the release notes for NVDA 2025.1. I'm extremely impressed with what @NVAccess has added. There is a huge amount of new features and changes. Absolutely amazing. #NVDA #NVDASR

Of course... Also what i recommend is to split changes for developers from the general user changes. I am recommending this on the mailing lists a long time ago. These are very difficult to translate, because some languages don't have glossaries for such things.

@asael There is already a section explicitly titled, "Changes for Developers", just as you suggest :)

yeah, but the problem is, that it is mixed in the one document with the user changes. In the past, i had an option not to translate these. Now it looks ugly, because i am putting english strings to workaround this.

In the past, we were able to omit these from the documentation entirely by putting one sentence which redirects user to the english file. Now via crowdin we cannot do that, because we need to match every simple string.

@asael although actually it will all end up in the one document even if done separately
