"it`s" → its

Which URL exactly should the contribute link point to? It IMHO should be the user's language, but https://musescore.org/contribute doesn't redirect properly (it does redirect to https://musescore.org/en/contribute, unconditionally) and e.g. https://musescore.org/de/contribute doesn't exist, it is https://musescore.org/de/unterstuetzung in that case. We may need help of the website to redirect appropriatly.
Which word should be shown for the link, "development", or "Help"?

Need to detail information
@shoogle Could you look at Expected result and add information:
Which URL exactly should the contribute link point to?
Which word should be shown for the link, "development", or "Help"?

[shoogle]

@vshalkevich, the link should always point to https://musescore.org/contribute and we should fix the website to do the redirection to translated pages such as https://musescore.org/de/mitwirken based on the user's browser settings.

@Jojo-Schmitz, the link above appears to be the German page though the translation is barely started. Let me know if you can/cannot edit that page.

Here is the current About dialog:

Let's change the following:

Visit www.musescore.org for new versions and more information.
Support MuseScore with your contribution.

To:

Visit www.musescore.org for new versions and more information.
Get help with the program or contribute to its development.

with links to https://musescore.org/forum and https://musescore.org/contribute.

It should also say:

Version: 4.0.0 development build

or "nightly build", and:

Published under the GNU General Public License version 3.

with link to https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html.

@vshalkevich, BTW, don't feel you have to obey the issue template religiously if it makes more sense to do something else. E.g. "Help > About looks like [...], it should look like [...]." would be fine for this issue.

I can translate that https://musescore.org/de/mitwirken

Running into a bit of a problem with getting the requested changes done for master (the interaction of cpp and qml is foreign to me), so created a 3.x PR first.

Sounds good. I think it is a good idea

[Jojo-Schmitz]

Both PRs, for 3.x and master, are ready
