No more translations backports to 2.5.x. Something got messed up right after the 2.5.4 release since every language file now has merge conflicts. Tought luck.

I have rescheduled this to 2017-10-18. I guess this should be the last release for the 2.5 branch.

@mwjames What about this one? Some more goodies to backport or should I perhaps reschedule again by a month?

If you think you have time, I'd say fire away.

@mwjames @JeroenDeDauw That's done basically. Will do the announcements later.
