Problem/Motivation
I would like to start an initiative to make gtranslate 8.x-1.x compatible with Drupal 10. I know there are some advocates for this, but also other opinions.
Primarily, the recommendation is to simply upgrade the module from 8.x-1.x to 3.x, the 3.x version is compatible with Drupal 10.
I tried to upgrade the 3.x with Drupal 10. However, it's causing problems with the upgrade path. See

Errors after upgrading to 3.0.1 from 1.14 or 1.15

Cannot save settings form after upgrading to 3.x

What is the argument for a working patch for Drupal 10?
- Over 5,000 installations of gtranslate 8.x-1.x, probably more

- We need Drupal 10 to continue to provide security updates to the websites.
I don't know why many of the gtranslate 8.x-1.x users are so quiet, it is after all over 5,000 installations, but in my eyes it is getting critical. Of course, it could also be that many have not even noticed the problem?
I would be happy if some people join the initiative and make gtranslate 8.x-1.x compatible to Drupal 10. Please note that this is only about compatibility, NO feature requests will be considered. If you have feature requests, please develop them yourself or upgrade to higher gtranslate versions. This issue is only about making gtranslate 8.x-1.x work with Drupal 10 and not having a gaping security hole with Drupal 9.5.x from December on.
Temporary Workaround
I have created a fork project

for the time being
Proposed resolution
Creation of a patch and after successful testing, release of a new version for Translate Drupal with GTranslate 8.x-1.x
