F-Droid app description i18n

[yurtpage]

There are many of translations for the app meta descriptions here
https://github.com/bitcoin-wallet/bitcoin-wallet/tree/main/market

But in the F-Droid they aren't used.

It looks like in order to make them work the Fastline needs to be used:

Also please ensure that it's possible to translate the app meta in the Transfex
Thank you in advance.

In general I agree, and I had a look into "Fastline" years ago. It would also make it possible to upload releases to the testing channel in a more automated way.

However afair the necessary plugins are not compatible to Gradle 4.4.1, which we still use because it's the latest free version of Gradle that exists up to today.

The app descriptions are in Transifex since day 1. We just need to sync translations manually from time to time.

From the doc that I linked it seems like the F-Droid will grab the meta itself:

F-Droid supports two distinct file structures. These aim to be compatible with existing free software tools that allow publishing applications to Google Play. It is not required to install any of these tools, the file structure can easily be created manually instead.

F-Droid will only use metadata files from the latest release. This means that fdroidserver will check out the latest version it knows and scan the repository at the state of that version for metadata files.

So you can merge them, and once you make a new release it will be updated in the F-Droid.

The Fastlane can be installed and executed separately and it may update Play Store descriptions. But it's written in Ruby...

Anyway, please merge it so that other people can see the change and maybe contribute their own translations.
