Closes #347

What changed

• One list of the languages each release selects (point 1): SELECTED in src/postulo/core/messages_tool.py, by release line, so 0.5.0 and every 0.5.x share one. It is a plain literal, so scripts/release_tools.py, which imports nothing, can read it too.
  • 0.4: the 39 the core carried filled when the decision was taken (#269).
  • 0.5: 0.4's 39, plus fr-CA, en-CA, es-MX, be, cnr, fo, nn, rm, az, kk, zh-Hans, zh-Hant and ar, 52 in all (decided 2026-10-23).
  • selected(version=None) returns a version's list; with no version it uses the core's own, which is what a plugin pinned beside it wants. A line with no list is refused rather than guessed.
• The release gate reads it (point 3).
  • tests/test_translations.py's release test, now test_every_selected_language_is_complete, holds every catalogue set to selected() instead of the fixed EUROPEAN_UNION tuple, which is gone.
  • scripts/messages.py gate --release [X.Y.Z] gates exactly those languages.
  • scripts/release_tools.py check refuses a tag whose line has no list.
• New checks on every commit, in tests/test_translations.py:
  • every listed language is known and has a catalogue in every set;
  • a later line keeps every language of the one before;
  • the version in the checkout has a list, so a version bump to a new line without one fails at once;
  • a patch or pre-release version maps to its line;
  • gate --release reads the list.
• CONTRIBUTING.md (Making a release): step 1 now runs gate --release X.Y.Z, which works before the version is bumped, and names the one list. docs/TRANSLATING.md gives the concrete 0.4 and 0.5 lists and the rule that a later line keeps the earlier one's languages.

Points 2 (the development gate, gate fr-FR pt-PT on Weblate's pull request, adapted to #706) and 4 (every language scaffolded, 84 catalogues) were already on main, as was point 5's description in TRANSLATING.md.

Where the translations stand

The code is the subject here, not the translations. On today's main, gate --release 0.4.0 names 2,052 empty strings and gate --release 0.5.0 names 3,296, across the selected languages. They are to be translated in Weblate before 0.5.0 is tagged; machine drafting is off for now.

Tests

• tests/test_translations.py, tests/test_release_tools.py, tests/test_changelog.py, the handbook, message-tool and language tests: 592 passed, 28 skipped.
• ruff clean.

Library check

None needed.

Write the languages each release selects once, and hold every release gate to them ... e6e39ceec5

SELECTED in postulo.core.messages_tool lists, by release line, the languages a release must
carry complete, a draft counting: 0.4's 39, and 0.5 adding fr-CA, en-CA, es-MX, be, cnr, fo,
nn, rm, az, kk, zh-Hans, zh-Hant and Arabic (maintainer, 2026-10-23). The release test, the
new gate --release, release_tools.py check and the plugin repositories read it instead of
the fixed European Union tuple.
