2 years ago @sergejzr hi! If you look at the branches at https://github.com/GlobalDataverseCommunityConsortium/dataverse-language-packs/branches you'll see that there is recent activity (around a month ago). Each release (e.g. 5.7) gets a branch, from my understanding. Please see #10 for some (aging) discussion.
In terms of automation, I know @4tikhonov has been working on setting up Weblate at https://weblate.dataverse.org
The whole translation process would probably be a good topic for a community call. We just need to let @djbrooke know and he'll figure out a good time to put in on the list at https://dataverse.org/community-calls

Hello Dataverse translation community,
we just installed Dataverse at Bonn University (Germany) as a test-repository. Unfortunately, German translations (and probably many other languages, since last commits seem to be far in the past).
We helped ourselves using existing file and Google translations (which does not work bad at all). Therefore, I have some questions to this community:
PS: In my opinion, sooner or later we will not be able to maintain such projects manually (more than 2500 keys have to be considered in dozens of languages) and should anyway accept using automatic procedures, if we want to keep this up-to-date. The Google algorithms are getting amazingly better and better. We could even think about some automatic procedure using their API and just send deltas to users for final corrections. Tell me if you are interested in creating something like that.
