Translations

• Wording of some messages and menus was improved and harmonized.
• Czech, German and Polish languages were fully translated.
• Spanish, French and Italian are partially translated, some translations are pending.

Improvements

• Language selection at the first application start and language switching has been reworked:
• As right-to-left layout is not supported by PrusaSlicer as of now, language is switched to English for the right-to-left locales. #2327
• A dictionary is newly selected by a language code, not by a language & country code. For example, German dictionary is selected for Swiss German #2580.
• Windows / OSX specific. PrusaSlicer newly respects the "preferred language" settings of the operating system, it will select a dictionary based on the operating system presentation language.
• ASCII STL import was made more tolerant to non-standard input formats #2813.
• Allocation of vertex buffers at the graphics card in a low memory situation has been improved. Multiple smaller buffers are passed to the graphics card driver instead of a single large one to increase chances of success if the GPU memory is fragmented.
• Improved importing of 3MF and AMF files on low memory systems. The XML data used to be decompressed into memory first, then parsed, while newly the XML data is parsed while unzipping.
• The new "export toolpaths to object" function now produces 30% smaller files.

Bugs fixed

• Fixed an issue, where some Z-hops were not performed due to a numeric rounding issue (zero was not exactly zero) #2154.
• Fixed PrusaSlicer 2.1.0-beta2 regression, where an "enable bridging perimeters" dialog was shown in an endless loop #2821.
• Fixed PrusaSlicer 2.1.0-beta2 regression reporting "OpenGL detection fails" on Linux even on OpenGL 2.0 capable systems #2844.
• Fixed some wipe tower issues when printing on a multi-extruder machine: af2a3d2c08282750ca9f2e0f665c7d6bd3616200.
• Added an extra travel move after a toolchange custom G-code (return from the extruder parking position).
• Wipe tower now only sets extruder temperature for a single extruder multi-material printer.
• Ooze prevention does not work with the wipe tower, a check has been added.
