   * Updated compatibility list.
+  * Improved translations.¹
 
 * For the Console Commands mod:
   * The date commands like `world_setday` now also set the `daysPlayed` stat, so in-game events/randomization match what you'd get if you played to that date normally (thanks to kdau!).

   * Fixed rare intermittent "CGI application encountered an error" errors.
 
 * For modders:
-  * Extended `SDate` with `SeasonIndex`, `FromDaysSinceStart`, `FromWorldDate`, `ToWorldDate`, and `ToLocaleString` fields/methods (thanks to kdau!).
+  * Added `SDate` fields/methods: `SeasonIndex`, `FromDaysSinceStart`, `FromWorldDate`, `ToWorldDate`, and `ToLocaleString` (thanks to kdau!).
+  * Added `SDate` translations taken from the Lookup Anything mod.¹
   * Fixed asset propagation on Linux/Mac for monster sprites, NPC dialogue, and NPC schedules.
   * Fixed asset propagation for NPC dialogue sometimes causing a spouse to skip marriage dialogue or not allow kisses.
 
+¹ Date translations were taken from the Lookup Anything mod; thanks to FixThisPlz (improved Russian), LeecanIt (added Italian), pomepome (added Japanese), S2SKY (added Korean), Sasara (added German), SteaNN (added Russian), ThomasGabrielDelavault (added Spanish), VincentRoth (added French), Yllelder (improved Spanish), and yuwenlan (added Chinese). Translations for Korean (partial), Hungarian, and Turkish were auto-generated based on the game translations.
