Query regarding JQuery-UI version 1.12.1

[malsbalan]

We are using the JQuery-UI product (version 1.12.1) in our application and had a few queries around it.
Background :-
We were using JQuery-UI (1.10.4) in our product and we started an upgrade to 1.12.1 version. During the upgrade, we found that the i18n folder which was available in the 1.10.4 has been removed in 1.12.1 version.

Few queries around this –

1. Can you let us know why the folder was removed?
2. What is the alternative for these files in 1.12.1 formal download?
3. We have seen the JQuery blog which also lists the JQuery-UI versions and their respective files. On this Github link we have the version 1.12.1 available. This link also contains the i18n folder.
   Can this folder be used for the purposes of Language Support in our application ?

Git (contains source files, with @Version replaced with 1.12.1, base theme only)

Yes, you can use the language files directly via GIT / Github.

The 1.12.1 version files can be found here: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/tree/c6f1735249295bb37153861aa97e5b3e38d46b02/ui/i18n

You could use the latest master files too as there has been no changes in how that works (but some bugfixes): https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/tree/main/ui/i18n

Another option is downloading the complete source here: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/releases

The files have been removed when adding AMD and Bower support, see https://jqueryui.com/upgrade-guide/1.11/#simplified-custom-and-quick-downloads
