+
+            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.

-# Windows Code Signing Setup Guide
-
-This guide explains how to set up Windows code signing for Stirling-PDF desktop application builds.
-
-## Overview
-
-Windows code signing is essential for:
-- Preventing Windows SmartScreen warnings
-- Building trust with users
-- Enabling Microsoft Store distribution
-- Professional application distribution
-
-## Certificate Types
-
-### OV Certificate (Organization Validated)
-- More affordable option
-- Requires business verification
-- May trigger SmartScreen warnings initially until reputation builds
-- Suitable for most independent software vendors
-
-### EV Certificate (Extended Validation)
-- Premium option with immediate SmartScreen reputation
-- Requires hardware security module (HSM) or cloud-based signing
-- Higher cost but provides immediate trust
-- Required since June 2023 for new certificates
-
-## Obtaining a Certificate
-
-### Certificate Authorities
-Popular certificate authorities for Windows code signing:
-- DigiCert
-- Sectigo (formerly Comodo)
-- GlobalSign
-- SSL.com
-
-### Certificate Format
-You'll receive a certificate in one of these formats:
-- `.pfx` or `.p12` (preferred - contains both certificate and private key)
-- `.cer` + private key (needs conversion to .pfx)
-
-### Converting to PFX (if needed)
-If you have separate certificate and private key files:
-
-```bash
-openssl pkcs12 -export -out certificate.pfx -inkey private-key.key -in certificate.cer
-```
-
-## Setting Up GitHub Secrets
-
-### Required Secrets
-
-Navigate to your GitHub repository → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
-
-Add the following secrets:
-
-#### 1. `WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE`
-- **Description**: Base64-encoded .pfx certificate file
-- **How to create**:
-
-**On macOS/Linux:**
-```bash
-base64 -i certificate.pfx | pbcopy  # Copies to clipboard
-```
-
-**On Windows (PowerShell):**
-```powershell
-[Convert]::ToBase64String([IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("certificate.pfx")) | Set-Clipboard
-```
-
-Paste the entire base64 string into the GitHub secret.
-
-#### 2. `WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD`
-- **Description**: Password for the .pfx certificate
-- **Value**: The password you set when creating/exporting the .pfx file
-
-### Optional Secrets for Tauri Updater
-
-If you're using Tauri's built-in updater feature:
-
-#### `TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY`
-- Generated using Tauri CLI: `npm run tauri signer generate`
-- Used for update package verification
-
-#### `TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD`
-- Password for the Tauri signing key
-
-## Configuration Files
-
-### 1. Tauri Configuration (frontend/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json)
-
-The Windows signing configuration is already set up:
-
-```json
-"windows": {
-  "certificateThumbprint": null,
-  "digestAlgorithm": "sha256",
-  "timestampUrl": "http://timestamp.digicert.com"
-}
-```
-
-**Configuration Options:**
-- `certificateThumbprint`: Automatically extracted from imported certificate (leave as `null`)
-- `digestAlgorithm`: Hashing algorithm - `sha256` is recommended
-- `timestampUrl`: Timestamp server to prove signing time (survives certificate expiration)
-
-**Alternative Timestamp Servers:**
-- DigiCert: `http://timestamp.digicert.com`
-- Sectigo: `http://timestamp.sectigo.com`
-- GlobalSign: `http://timestamp.globalsign.com`
-
-### 2. GitHub Workflow (.github/workflows/tauri-build.yml)
-
-The workflow includes three Windows signing steps:
-
-1. **Import Certificate**: Decodes and imports the .pfx certificate into Windows certificate store
-2. **Build Tauri App**: Builds and signs the application using the imported certificate
-3. **Verify Signature**: Validates that both .exe and .msi files are properly signed
-
-## Testing the Setup
-
-### 1. Local Testing (Windows Only)
-
-Before pushing to GitHub, test locally:
-
-```powershell
-# Set environment variables
-$env:WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE = [Convert]::ToBase64String([IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("certificate.pfx"))
-$env:WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD = "your-certificate-password"
-
-# Build the application
-cd frontend
-npm run tauri build
-
-# Verify the signature
-Get-AuthenticodeSignature "./src-tauri/target/release/bundle/msi/Stirling-PDF_*.msi"
-```
-
-### 2. GitHub Actions Testing
-
-1. Push your changes to a branch
-2. Manually trigger the workflow:
-   - Go to Actions → Build Tauri Applications
-   - Click "Run workflow"
-   - Select "windows" platform
-3. Check the build logs for:
-   - ✅ Certificate import success
-   - ✅ Build completion
-   - ✅ Signature verification
-
-### 3. Verifying Signed Binaries
-
-After downloading the built artifacts:
-
-**Windows (PowerShell):**
-```powershell
-Get-AuthenticodeSignature "Stirling-PDF-windows-x86_64.exe"
-Get-AuthenticodeSignature "Stirling-PDF-windows-x86_64.msi"
-```
-
-Look for:
-- Status: `Valid`
-- Signer: Your organization name
-- Timestamp: Recent date/time
-
-**Windows (GUI):**
-1. Right-click the .exe or .msi file
-2. Select "Properties"
-3. Go to "Digital Signatures" tab
-4. Verify signature details
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### "HashMismatch" Status
-- Certificate doesn't match the binary
-- Possible file corruption during download
-- Re-download and verify
-
-### "NotSigned" Status
-- Certificate wasn't imported correctly
-- Check GitHub secrets are set correctly
-- Verify base64 encoding is complete (no truncation)
-
-### "UnknownError" Status
-- Timestamp server unreachable
-- Try alternative timestamp URL in tauri.conf.json
-- Check network connectivity in GitHub Actions
-
-### SmartScreen Still Shows Warnings
-- Normal for OV certificates initially
-- Reputation builds over time with user downloads
-- Consider EV certificate for immediate reputation
-
-### Certificate Not Found During Build
-- Verify `WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE` secret is set
-- Check base64 encoding is correct (no extra whitespace)
-- Ensure password is correct
-
-## Security Best Practices
-
-1. **Never commit certificates to version control**
-   - Keep .pfx files secure and backed up
-   - Use GitHub secrets for CI/CD
-
-2. **Rotate certificates before expiration**
-   - Set calendar reminders
-   - Update GitHub secrets with new certificate
-
-3. **Use strong passwords**
-   - Certificate password should be complex
-   - Store securely (password manager)
-
-4. **Monitor certificate usage**
-   - Review GitHub Actions logs
-   - Set up notifications for failed builds
-
-5. **Limit access to secrets**
-   - Only repository admins should access secrets
-   - Audit secret access regularly
-
-## Certificate Lifecycle
-
-### Before Expiration
-1. Obtain new certificate from CA (typically annual renewal)
-2. Convert to .pfx format if needed
-3. Update `WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE` secret with new base64-encoded certificate
-4. Update `WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD` if password changed
-5. Test build to verify new certificate works
-
-### Expired Certificates
-- Signed binaries remain valid (timestamp proves signing time)
-- New builds will fail until certificate is renewed
-- Users can still install previously signed versions
-
-## Cost Considerations
-
-### Certificate Costs (Annual, as of 2024)
-- **OV Certificate**: $100-400/year
-- **EV Certificate**: $400-1000/year
-
-### Choosing the Right Certificate
-- **Open source / early stage**: Start with OV
-- **Commercial / enterprise**: Consider EV for better trust
-- **Microsoft Store**: EV certificate required
