@legacychimera247, thank you very much for contributing an Italian translation.

May I ask, why you preferred to directly pose a pull-request instead of using Transifex, as suggested in the translations README?

Background

Though I am not at all a fan of Atlassian (the company behind Transifex), Transifex eases collaborating with other translators, provides translating-specific tooling (e.g. its "translation memory" and its GitHub-integration makes my life as co-maintainer of the SailfishOS:Chum GUI application easier.
The biggest issue is getting translations directly contributed via a PR up to Transifex: Sometimes they are automatically picked up, but most often they have to be manually transferred, which is a tedious and cumbersome process.

Please provide feedback

Hence, if you do not have strong reasons not to use Transifex, please continue maintaining this translation there, as soon as I merge this PR and took care that it arrives well at Transifex.
If you do have strong reasons not to use Transifex, please name them here.

Cheers & thanks!

i have to be honest, i couldn't wait to have this translated and doing it directly was the fastest way, as i went into transifex and had to request a language (which i did anyway)

i have (almost) no problem in using transifex, and i do suppose i can use that next time (i guess now transifex should pick my file right?)

(althought i hate the fact you have to request things on there, it could have been simpler like weblate, but anyway,...)

Sorry to say that this bluntly, but either way my little available time will be the limiting factor.

Thank you for denoting that, Transifex regularly misses to send notifications: I will take care about that.

This is exactly the issue: Most of the time Transifex fails to pick up new translations when they first appear in the target repository. I often ended up tediously importing them manually in Transifex.

Weblate was not available when most SailfishOS apps started, unfortunately. I hate Atlassian, it is a bad, data-gathering, proprietary software company, with a horrible security record. All our translations are fed into Atlassian's translation database to be used for their commercial services.

I had to deny your request at Transifex, because you requested the "wrong" language: For details and reason, please see commit f9ac457.

The synchronisation from GitHub to Transifex failed, as usual and expected. Hence I created it manually. I will manually upload the translation there this weekend.
Please do not start doing anything at Transifex, before I have successfully done that! I will notify you here.

Furthermore, I cannot did add you as translator to it at Transifex, because when I ultimately understood that your profile there ("luca 247" / 247) is either private ("invisible") or deleted, hence I cannot search for you, but have to enter the correct name "blindly".

P.S.: Now that I have added you as translator for SailfishOS:Chum GUI, I can view your profile there: shitty Transifex!

I will notify you here.

Ready now.

I had to input the plural forms %n aggiornamento disponibile / %n aggiornamenti disponibili / %n aggiornamenti disponibili again for some reason. I will request a review from you to check if this is correct, when Transifex pushes this change to this target repository.
