- Eduardo Rodrigues: 🇧🇷 Brazilian Portuguese translations
- @DimitriDR: 🇫🇷 French translations
- @hasanbeder: 🇹🇷 Turkish translations

Other changes
When using Mac Mouse Fix in English, not much has changed, but a few things have been updated in the UI, and a lot has shifted under the hood, to help make translations better:
- Refined look for the little popup notifications.
- Clearer tooltips and errors in various places.
- The escape key can now be used everywhere to dismiss notifications, sheets, and popups.
- A 'Help Translate' link has been added to the About Tab.
- The width of views and popups has been adjusted to look great in various languages.
- Better text layout for Chinese and Korean, which had text-wrapping issues in some of the little popup notifications.
- Replaced Markdown parsing library to fix some formatting bugs in Chinese and Korean.
- Lots more under-the-hood changes and improvements.
