 _hc | Shaban: It would be great to have Georgian! I think you can just start translating: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/f-droid/-/ka/ If there is no Georgian, so you can be the admin. | 15:40:27 |

| Aminda.eu she/they ⚧︎ | Hi @arttuylh, I left a change suggestion on the name of F-Droid basics as I think "F-Droid Alkeet" is not a good translation for the name as it seems more like "Basics of F-Droid" than "basic version of F-Droid without nearby-share and panic functionlities" | 13:46:59 |

![@_oftc_Licaon_Kter[xmpp]:matrix.org](./avatar/Licaon_Kter%5Bxmpp%5D) Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | Aminda.eu she/they: imho the app name should not be translated | 14:08:22 |
 linsui | I thought the basic in F-Droid basic can be translated. | 14:09:31 |
| linsui | Depends on the language. | 14:09:42 |

| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | I'd rather not, it's not a language thing, it's a brand/trademark thing. | 14:12:08 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | But, wait, it's a language thing when you need to talk about it to someone in another language. | 14:12:08 |

| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | Bucause translation is not a word-for-word thing, it's also adapting it. | 14:13:51 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | Basic in my locale sounds like "Base" which makes no sense. I don't have a word to describe it... | 14:13:51 |

I would find that too preferable over the current translation, but all translators appear to have translated it at least for the couple of languages I have Weblate showing me.
I don't know how F-Droid translations work in general as this is the only thing I remember seeing an issue and I am hesistant to submit anything as more than suggestion as I don't currently have the bandwidth to be taking more responsibilities Generally we leave this problem to the translators. | 14:17:41 |
| linsui | The "F-Droid" shouldn't be translated anyway. | 14:17:43 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | I've asked before for `translatable=false` on app_name | 14:18:44 |
| linsui | In reply to @_oftc_Licaon_Kter[xmpp]:matrix.org
I've asked before for `translatable=false` on app_name For all apps? | 14:21:41 |
| linsui | I guess we don't need to import them to weblate if we don't want them to be translated. | 14:22:10 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | linsui: in general yes | 14:22:38 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | (For all apps I mean) | 14:22:55 |
| linsui | But I would say some app names should be translated, e.g., Fcitx5 for Android (Anthy Plugin). | 14:23:16 |
| linsui | Keeping them as is is not bad though. | 14:23:42 |
| linsui | They should be displayed in the user locale if it's translated upstream. | 14:24:23 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | > e.g., Fcitx5 for Android (Anthy Plugin). | 14:24:38 |
