Bug Description

a) I have downloaded the latest Pinta 2.2-dev from master repository https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta/actions/runs/7326780534/artifacts/1134741800 and installed on Ubuntu 23.10
b) On Ubuntu I have set Language settings to Slovenian and logged-off/logged-in.
c) I did in deep checking of translations to maybe spot some errors in translation, but I have found one bizarre regression in Pinta 2.2-dev comparing to Pinta 2.1. Check the Help | About and see the Credit and if I move down to translators in Pinta 2.1 I see translators names, but in Pinta 2.2 I see no names, just some translated string.

Maybe some issue related to importing strings into Weblate? Or maybe I did something wrong... In my humble opinion translators names and programmers names should not get imported into Weblate at all. Why would someone want to translate the actual people's name.

See attachment for details.

I think this was something that was incorrectly edited in Weblate. The "translator-credits" string is a special string that should be replaced by a list of the translator names / emails who want to be credited for translating that language (Launchpad automatically managed this, I believe)

Yes, it looks like I have deleted names and translated the label.
Can you revert the change.

Also:
1. Do we really need this "translator-credits" string in Weblate? I think it should be removed.
2. Do we want to have reference to "Launchpad" and http links? We no longer use Launchpad for translations.

OK, I've reverted the change in Weblate.
I think the credits are fine to keep as-is since we should have some way to recognize translators in the "About" dialog, and similarly I don't think the existing credits should be edited to remove launchpad references since that's where the translations originally happened (unless a specific translator wants to replace the link to their launchpad profile)
