Update translations

New in this release:
Following the lead of Debian and Fedora, we've made ./configure default to a dual Qt+GTK build.
Switching between Qt and GTK modes can now be done right from the Settings window, without editing .desktop files.
The Qt UI now provides a much more polished experience on Windows and has been made the default on that platform.
Support for the Meson build system is now feature complete (at least for Linux).
Preliminary Qt 6 support (requires some manual setup at build time)
New Global Hotkeys plugin for Qt, courtesy of GitHub user iDarkTemplar (#820)
OpenMPT (added in 4.0) is now preferred over ModPlug (#848)
Album art in the info bar can be disabled (#884)
Symbolic links are now followed when adding folders (#892)
The currently playing track is displayed in bold font (#970)
The playlist drag-and-drop indicator is now more visible (#991)
Queue Manager, Equalizer, and Equalizer Presets windows are now dockable (#1022)

Fixed UI freeze when asterisk key was pressed (#962)
Fixed an exception when reading a large APE tag (#992)
Fixed album artist not being displayed for .m4a files (#1005)
