Mac Mouse Fix 3.1.0 Beta 1 brings a great new translation system, which has been in the works for a while.
There are also some UI improvements.

- It is now super easy to contribute high-quality translations to Mac Mouse Fix, with 0 technical background required.
- There are lots of annotated screenshots and comments, and a great search function, so translators can easily understand exactly how their translations appear in-app.

- Eduardo Rodrigues: 🇧🇷 Brazilian Portuguese translations
- @DimitriDR: 🇫🇷 French translations
- @hasanbeder: 🇹🇷 Turkish translations
- Petr Pavlík: 🇨🇿 Czech 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.
