Merge branch 'filePath' of git@github.com:Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF.git into filePath

I've reviewed the recently opened PR ([2605 - File paths dynamic
](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/pull/2605)) and have
identified some area(s) that could benefit from additional hardening
measures.

These changes should help prevent potential security vulnerabilities and
improve overall code quality.

Thank you for your consideration!

-
-            #### **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.
