November 2024 localization sprint across 10 repositories. Delivered full Spanish localization across OsmAnd-iOS and Persian Calendar; expanded Spanish UI localization for Collabora Online and InvokeAI; improved overall Spanish coverage for Grist and Ubuntu Pro UI; updated Spanish translations for Minetest, OpenRefine, Open Web Calendar docs, Wallabag, and OpenRefine.
