Dear Git l10n team members,

Two commits have been introduced in the next branch of the git-po repository to better support AI-assisted workflows for Git l10n translation and quality checking:

 - https://github.com/git-l10n/git-po/commits/next/

Before submitting patches upstream, I invite the community to test using AI agents for day-to-day Git l10n tasks.

To get started, work on the next branch:

    git clone git@github.com:git-l10n/git-po.git
    git checkout -b next origin/next

Please try using AI coding tools to update translations in po/XX.po or review historical translations, following the prompts below:

 - "Refer to @po/README.md to update translations in po/XX.po."
 - "Refer to @po/README.md to review all translations in po/XX.po."
