As I did with my previous pull request where I updated the WCA member count I have now gone and done the same for all of the translations that had the not updated version, for some I also changed the region count from 140 to the current 158.

Wow, you didn't have to do that! It is always enough to just touch the en.yml file.

If that file changed in our git working tree between the last server deployment and the current server deployment, our translators mailing list will receive a notification asking them to provide updated translation strings.

@gregorbg I found it simple enough to just save the translators time so they can translate things that I can't (stuff that isn't numbers). I hope that's ok?

In principle, Yes, I mean, we certainly appreciate your work. The problem here is that I assume you are not fluent in all of these languages -- and indeed languages can get very weird when it comes to handling numbers. It's as easy as decimal units changing in Japanese, and can reach points of different plural cases for different quantities in Arabic and in some South Slavic languages. (We've had issues with this before, see svenfuchs/rails-i18n#986 for example)

So all I'm trying to say is that "Oh, it's only numbers, every language does maths!" is not as evident as it may seem at first glance 🙃

Ah, In that case I can only confirm it for the Polish translation as I am fluent in Polish. French case is also fine I believe though my French is quite elementary.
