September 2025: Shopware docs work focused on Translation System Documentation Overhaul in the shopware/docs repo. Consolidated and updated translation docs, removed outdated Language Pack documentation, added a plugin/migration guide for extension translations, and implemented formatting and link readability improvements. The work was accompanied by four commits (76d4444cb5302b1798da294fe0f96dde709f494c, 33606ce64aa0c86bc24bb468233f59e6a23e37f1, 9e595a2cbcebd2f60d68ba3f116e159a55abf4af, 3affd7754bab5f7810aec649e9ff80fc2e0c0e19) improving structure, adding migration guidance, and fixing indentation and formatting. No production defects fixed this month; the enhancements reduce support overhead and accelerate adoption of translation workflows.
