Contribute Translations for Untranslated .po Files Based on Your Native Language Knowledge

Description:
The project supports localized holiday names for over 150+ countries and regions. However, many countries still have untranslated holiday names in their respective .po files, especially for local markets. This task invites contributors to help translate these holidays based on their native language knowledge to improve the project's localization (l10n) coverage.

This is a high-impact task as it directly benefits users from different countries by ensuring they see holiday names in their native language.
