Merge #31809: Prepare "Open Transifex translations for v29.0" release…
f93d6cb 
… step

2f27c91 qt: Update the `src/qt/locale/bitcoin_en.xlf` translation source file (Hennadii Stepanov)
864386a cmake: Ensure generated sources are up to date for `translate` target (Hennadii Stepanov)
2b51dd3 Update Transifex slug for 29.x (Hennadii Stepanov)

Pull request description:

  This PR follows our [Release Process](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/864386a7444fb5cf16613956ce8bf335f51b67d5/doc/release-process.md).

  It is required to open Transifex translations for v29.0, as scheduled in #31029.

  The previous similar PR: #30548.

  **Notes for reviewers:**

  1. This is the first release process conducted after migrating the build system to CMake. This revealed a bug, which is fixed in the second commit

  2. To reproduce the diff in the third commit, follow these steps:
  ```
  gmake -C depends -j $(nproc) MULTIPROCESS=1
  cmake --preset dev-mode --toolchain depends/$(./depends/config.guess)/toolchain.cmake
  cmake --build build_dev_mode --target translate
  ```

7267ed0 qt: Update `src/qt/locale/bitcoin_en.xlf` after string freeze (Hennadii Stepanov)

Pull request description:

  This PR follows our [Release Process](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/864386a7444fb5cf16613956ce8bf335f51b67d5/doc/release-process.md) and implements the ["Translation string freeze"](#31029) step.

  Steps to reproduce the diff on Ubuntu:
  ```
  $ cmake --preset dev-mode -DWITH_USDT=OFF -DWITH_MULTIPROCESS=OFF
  $ cmake --build build_dev_mode --target translate
  ```

  At the moment, the multiprocess-specific code does not introduce any new translatable strings. Therefore, there is no need to build depends with `MULTIPROCESS=1` to review this PR.

    ACK 7267ed0 - I get the same results when building the `translate` target.

Merge #32004: qt: 29.0 translations update

9132824 qt: 29.0 translations update (Hennadii Stepanov)

Pull request description:

  This PR follows our [Release Process](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/bd0ee07310c3dcdd08633c69eac330e2e567b235/doc/release-process.md) and concludes the translation-specific efforts for this release cycle. It follows two previous translation-related PRs, #31809 and bitcoin-core/gui#854.

  It is one of the steps required _before_ branch-off, as scheduled in #31029.

  The previous similar PR: #30715.

  **Notes for reviewers:**
  1. This is the first release process conducted after migrating the build system to CMake. The [bitcoin-maintainer-tools/update-translations.py](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-maintainer-tools/blob/main/update-translations.py) tool, which is used to fetch translations from [Transifex.com](https://www.transifex.com/bitcoin/bitcoin), still generates the no-longer-needed  `src/Makefile.qt_locale.include` file. Please ignore it.
  2. The actual translations on Transifex is a moving target. Therefore, your diff after running [`bitcoin-maintainer-tools/update-translations.py`](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-maintainer-tools/blob/main/update-translations.py) might differ.
  3. The translations for the following languages, which appear to be the result of a mistake or an act of vandalism, have been discarded:
      - Czech (cs)
      - Danish (da)
      - Dutch (nl)
  4. Changes to the Thai (th) translation have been discarded due to multiple unsolicited pronunciation notes.

Are there any release candidate builds available yet? All I want is a Linux x86_64 build. What could I do to help? Thanks.

@jsarenik If you just want to build a tag or commit for yourself, you can use the doc/build-*.md instructions, or the guix build (contrib/guix/README.md). With the guix build you can even contribute attestations, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-process.md#building. If you are waiting on the pre-compiled rc binary, I suspect it will be available some time this week.
