@Seth_h There are some updates in the swedish translation that didn’t make it in time for the latest update from Weblate. I don’t know if these are considered “critical”, but if possible they could be pulled in from Weblate before the final 8.0.5 is released.
(I noticed that there are french translation updates too that came in after -rc1 was tagged, but they may be included automatically, as they are not in Weblate.)
