My company is using gitlab, and translation progress in French were low with gitlab 13 and still is low with gitlab 14.
when I search for one tab from the left menu : "Security & Compliance", I see it is translated allready:
https://crowdin.com/translate/gitlab-ee/6/en-fr?filter=basic&value=0#q=security%20&%20compliance
since three years already! when I look at the code of the version we are using: it is not translated: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/af6735ad95ff7a4578c8548d37ce9e8247385d5e/locale/fr/gitlab.po#L33126
and it looks the same for the latest release: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/1615d086ad800acec3fc6d29b7a9f89cdb5028b3/locale/fr/gitlab.po#L34687
wild guess: the pot file lifecycle is probably not properly handled (who generate it, who update po files with it, what do we do with po file not in sync with pot?)
also, crowdin is a closed source platform, while we have a great open solution (it is not only open source, it really understands well translator and dev requirements), used by major projects such as Libreoffice, OpenSuse, Fedora and so many others... You can get yourself hosted for free, just look at the stats https://hosted.weblate.org/stats/
if you were using weblate, you would not have to handle your merge bot anymore, weblate would open pull requests for you, maybe also simplifying your life
