- Yes, I've already noticed myself and added it :) Many things I only
notice when I actually do the translation myself. Most translators
aren't as fast as you, fortunately, in this case! :-)

- Proof: We've had a user on the forum who reported they did everything
they needed to do, but it didn't work. I've then done some research, and
watched a video on youtube where someone explains it, and I've
experienced the issue myself when testing on a Win10 VirtualBox. I don't
remember if I tried rebooting, but as there seem to have been several
reports... and as people have reinstalled Inkscape and tried to get it
working over several days, I suspect the reboot wouldn't have helped much.

See discussion at https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?topic=986
