Why has localization been removed?

[Chunbear]

When I tried to install the localization language pack, I found that it didn't work.
So when I looked closer I found that the readme says: [Drops localizations]
I don't understand why this feature should be dropped, many users in other languages are using it.

there were bugs around it and i don't have any resources to maintain it. simply question of priorities.
if there is an interested maintainer, i'd welcome bringing it back.

Doesn't the localization feature just require an extension to be installed? Or does it take a lot of time to maintain to implement this feature of localization?

localization happens in runtime by replacing text fields on the fly in javascript, downloaded packages are just strings
