| Summary | 0008827: Fastline app description translation missing on Weblate | ||||
| Description | All android apps have a fastline directory with app description and screenshots https://git.taler.net/taler-android.git/tree/cashier/fastlane/metadata/android/en-US The first problem is that in the F-Droid the app icon and screenshots aren't shown: https://search.f-droid.org/?q=taler This may happen because the F-Droid checks for the fastlane folder in the repo root but the same repo is used for all three apps and each has own the fastlane directory. Check yourself it docs about the the required structure: https://f-droid.org/docs/All_About_Descriptions_Graphics_and_Screenshots/ Another problem is that we can't translate these descriptions because they aren't added to Weblate: Here we have only translations of the app itself https://weblate.taler.net/projects/gnu-taler/cashier-android To add the metadata translation you have to add a separate component in the Weblate | ||||

| I think that the proper solution would be to split the repository to separate git repos. They basically have their own life cycle and are already big enough to live their own life. | |
| Separating the apps into different repositories would be ideal, however, doing so would require additional work, since some of those submodules are not apps, but rather utility libraries that are shared internally between the actual apps. In order to split the repository, the utility libraries would have to be either published as Maven libraries, or re-organized as Git submodules that we can manage separately. Currently not a priority, but still open to consideration. | |
| I think you should just add new Weblate components based on the existing git repo setup, e.g. these three components: * https://weblate.taler.net/projects/gnu-taler/cashier-android-metadata * https://weblate.taler.net/projects/gnu-taler/merchant-terminal-android-metadata * https://weblate.taler.net/projects/gnu-taler/wallet-android-metadata Many apps do this already, it works well, and Weblate was designed to handle this case. The f-droid.org website's git repo has six separate components running from a single git repo. | |
| We shut down weblate. | |
