translate the following into arabic, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, French, Japanese, German, Spanish, Korean, and Portuguese, and put the result in a code block for each language:

Fixes:
- Removed the dedicated video output for the Loupe
- Which fixes 4K at 60fps video recording
- and hopefully the super weird capture bug affecting futuristic operating systems
- Also fixed a bug when tapping filters in the filter picker when not showing All Filters
- Possibly fixed a bug with the spirit level. Haven’t been able to replicate so I’m not 100% sure here
- Fixed some unnecessary haptics firing during video recording
- Fixed the Request Review prompt (window levels, who would have guessed)

version 2023.3.1

Sep 1, 2023
Version 2023.3.1
Introducing Obscura 4!
With a refreshed design and improved controls, Obscura is easier, faster, and nicer to use than ever before.

Every part of Obscura has been refined, polished and perfected to create the post possible camera experience.

Here’s a quick overview of new features:

Simplified Camera Controls
Most of the camera controls now behave more consistently. Tap to expand, drag to quickly adjust, and long press to reset. Exposure, Focus, Filters and White Balance all work the same way.

Focus and Zoom have swapped
Being able to quickly switch cameras is more important than ever as iPhone camera systems evolve. And since manual focus is only available in certain camera modes, it made sense to prioritise the camera picker.

Quick Settings
Quick Settings has swapped places with the library button, and is now in the top right corner of the screen. If you prefer the old layout, you can swap them back from Obscura’s View Options settings.

Peek at Recent Photos
Drag your finger outwards from the photo library button to quickly scrub through your recent photos.

Dual Reticules
Long Press on the reticule (the circle in the middle of the viewfinder) to enable separate focus and exposure points.

Highlight Exposure Clipping
Highlight on the viewfinder areas of the image that are over- or under-exposed.

New Library Interface
Obscura’s Library interface has been redesigned to be easy to navigate, and nicer to use, and there are more options when exporting images.

————

Obscura Ultra
Obscura is also switching from a paid-up-front app, to free with subscriptions, making the app accessible to a much wide audience.

Don’t worry, existing users will still have access to all the great features they’ve already paid for.
New features will require upgrading to Obscura Ultra, but it’s not required to keep using and enjoying Obscura as it is today.

I’m incredibly excited to share this update with you. I’ve been working on it for over a year now, and I think it’s a huge improvement in usability, and I hope the new pricing model is going to provide a more sustainable future for Obscura.

Here’s what new in version 2022.9:

Features

Added Korean Localization
Please let us know if you spot any mistakes!
Bug Fixes

Photo Capture Error Fix
If set to capture RAW with no preview image, the capture can sometimes fail. If this is detected, Obscura will automatically capture a preview for future captures. If you’ve been experiencing this issue, I’m really sorry. It’s been a real headache to deal with, as I haven’t been able to reproduce it consistently.

Display Zoom Fix
Fixed a bug where the viewfinder would be scaled incorrectly when Display Zoom is enabled.

Storage Cache Fix
Fixed a bug where a temporary cache would not be emptied.
