Preliminary note

Quotes are from this section.

Hello. There is at least one of the languages mentioned as affected that is found not to have achieved full coverage, making this statement intangible.

and will enable us to attain full coverage and consistency across languages

However, it is the confusion created by this statement that deserves to be noted:

We're now using a professional service to translate languages

See for yourself; the very existence of PRs reporting language translation, underlies the work of contribution emanating from a community, which by convention is considered to be a non-professional service.

Finally, and this is the whole point, this above statement and the one that follows it, which is

This builds on the <...> work of our translation community

are obviously in contradiction. Of course, one must still be able to conceive of it. Knowing that what is clearly thought, is clearly stated, could you please now be able to produce a text that makes sense?
