Unfortunately, your translations seems to get lost while we
were trying to solve a conflict in Weblate. May I ask you to
upload your translations once more?
I do not think Norwegian team has a review workflow set, so
let's see if the upload will be used as suggestions again
this time. Also I am not able to find your FAS name
(arvindfroi) in Fedora Accounts. Perhaps make sure your
account is fully activated.

Yes, please. Your approach to the use of AI seems to be
aligned with AI-Assisted Contributions Policy[1], so just
make sure anytime that you comply with it. ;)
