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 |

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 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | You'll translate "for" and "plugin" because the rest is untranslatable? :)) | 14:24:39 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | Right, I mean in general but each app with their own policy. | 14:25:20 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | I just want F-Droid for itself, to have it untranslatable ;) | 14:25:20 |

| linsui | I thought it's good to have all the names untranslable. It makes no sense to translate them for F-Droid if it's not translated upstream. The name will mismatch in F-Droid client and in launcher. | 14:32:19 |

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" Thanks, I'll check that 🙂 | 15:06:03 |
