-            ### Description of Changes
-
-            This Pull Request was automatically generated to synchronize updates to translation files and documentation. Below are the details of the changes made:
-
-            #### **1. Synchronization of Translation Files**
-            - Updated translation files (`messages_*.properties`) to reflect changes in the reference file `messages_en_GB.properties`.
-            - Ensured consistency and synchronization across all supported language files.
-            - Highlighted any missing or incomplete translations.
-
-            #### **2. Update README.md**
-            - Generated the translation progress table in `README.md`.
-            - Added a summary of the current translation status for all supported languages.
-            - Included up-to-date statistics on translation coverage.
-
-            #### **Why these changes are necessary**
-            - Keeps translation files aligned with the latest reference updates.
-            - Ensures the documentation reflects the current translation progress.
