 critdroid | Can anyone explain the term "Session Installer"? (https://hosted.weblate.org/translate/f-droid/f-droid/en/?checksum=31ac948d58b8f1e1) | 22:11:40 |

Can anyone explain the term "Session Installer"? (https://hosted.weblate.org/translate/f-droid/f-droid/en/?checksum=31ac948d58b8f1e1) it's the modern installer (part of the Android API) that allows automatic updates without user interaction. and installing split APKs (which I think is why it's called "session installer" as with split APKs it installs multiple APKs that form one app in one session). but someone working on the client would know better than me :) | 22:58:49 |

| critdroid | 👍️ Thanks for the hint! So following the description provided by your link it's actually an Installer Session and less a Session Installer. | 23:12:09 |
| Fay (she/her) | kinda, yeah. it's the installer that uses installer sessions :) | 23:15:13 |
 Sylvia | (I think it would be good if, whenever a question like this is answered, the info also gets put in the Description field in Weblate so the question only has to be asked once) | 23:42:03 |
 GunChleoc (co-shaoghal.net) | Anybody could add it as a source string comment in Weblate to ensure it's documented there | 23:46:10 |
| Sylvia | From my experience the description field is much more visible to translators but that's also an option | 23:55:15 |

 _hc | Now that Android 14 is out, I ran the sync script for the permissions strings for the website. That means modifications that translators made to those are overwritten. | 08:56:31 |
| _hc | Has anyone found the way to contribute fixes for those directly to Google? E.g. the AOSP team? | 08:56:49 |
| _hc | Like has anyone tried a merge request? | 08:57:06 |
| _hc | https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroid-website/-/merge_requests/1015 | 09:13:26 |
| _hc | rando: do you want your name also listed in Arabic script on the contributors list? | 09:24:08 |

| _hc | for example, there is "دانیال بهزادی" | 09:24:18 |
![@_oftc_Licaon_Kter[xmpp]:matrix.org](./avatar/Licaon_Kter%5Bxmpp%5D) Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | _hc: re : google, I see the strings are translated (minus some special words), what do you mean? | 09:29:55 |
| _hc | Licaon_Kter[xmpp]: for example https://hosted.weblate.org/translate/f-droid/website/ro/?q=+context%3Apermdesc_accessFineLocation+&sort_by=-priority%2Cposition&checksum= | 09:41:43 |
| _hc | those permdesc_* strings come from AOSP. | 09:42:33 |
| _hc | and the translations are copied too | 09:42:40 |
| _hc | sometimes, fdroid translators change them in weblate | 09:42:53 |
| _hc | the current AOSP/permdesc sync process can only just overwrite. | 09:43:17 |
| _hc | so those changes get lost unless the translator adds them again in our weblate. | 09:43:38 |
| _hc | ideally, those changes would be submitted to AOSP. | 09:43:47 |
| _hc | many are obviously needed, like Google deleted half the string | 09:44:10 |
| _hc | rando: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroid-website/-/merge_requests/1016 | 09:46:13 |
 emmapeel | _hc: yes, i wonder why it is allowed to change the source strings. you should disable that function | 10:06:13 |
