![@_oftc_Licaon_Kter[xmpp]:matrix.org](./avatar/Licaon_Kter%5Bxmpp%5D) Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | Which strings exactly? The app info or the decorations? | 12:46:32 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | The app info is in the app code repo: https://github.com/calcitem/Sanmill/tree/master/fastlane/metadata/android | 12:48:19 |
 Besnik_b | The app info. | 12:57:57 |
| Besnik_b | Hah! It’s a separate project: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/sanmill/ | 13:01:54 |
| Besnik_b | That’s the reason searching for it under fdroid components returns nothing | 13:02:22 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | Besnik_b: yes, upstream keeps their own translations | 13:06:32 |
| Besnik_b | Is this an exception? Are many similar projects hosting translations outside fdroid translation project? | 13:08:24 |

Is this an exception? Are many similar projects hosting translations outside fdroid translation project? It's encouraged. | 13:28:16 |
| Besnik_b | linsui, As long as translating is concerned, you don’t want your sources scattered in hundred projects you can’t follow, and you consistency will suffer as well. | 13:33:13 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | Besnik_b: yes, app translations belong to the app repo, F-Droid pulls them when publishing a new version | 13:36:11 |

linsui, As long as translating is concerned, you don’t want your sources scattered in hundred projects you can’t follow, and you consistency will suffer as well. The translation is maintained by upstream devs. It should be consistent with upstream translations instead of other app description strings. | 13:38:26 |
 emmapeel | also, that will be a lot of translations to maintain (hosting, etc) | 13:41:37 |
| emmapeel | hard to scale | 13:41:43 |

 _hc | its working so far, thanks largely to hosted.weblate.org. fdroid maintainers do not have anywhere near the bandwidth needed to maintain all the app transltaions ourselves. | 17:24:56 |
| _hc | But of course, we can do things to make it easy for translators to find where to translate apps. | 17:25:13 |
| _hc | for apps that don't handle translations at all, we manage translating just the "summary" aka "short description: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/f-droid/fdroiddata | 17:26:34 |
| _hc | Besnik_b: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.calcitem.sanmill/ seems to maintain its transation in the upstream source/git repo, but they don't seem to have a public translation tool, like weblate or crowdin | 17:30:59 |
| _hc | when we know where an app handles its translations, we add a link next to the license, issue tracker, etc for exmaple https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid/ | 17:31:37 |
| Besnik_b | _hc, thank you! | 17:56:11 |
