Describe the bug F-droid displays name as Aves Libre followed by unrecognised character string. Maybe "Gallery and metadata explorer" rendered in wrong chracter set??? When installed the app name also appears as a short string of unrecognised character on the home screen. When openned all is good, correct English language used.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open F-droid on Android 6 device, system language English, with no Aves Libre installed.
  2. Hit "search" buton, type "Aves" and search. Aves Libre appears followed by corrupted string.
  3. Select "Install"
  4. Once installed the Aves icon appears on home screen but the name under the icon is a corrupted string.

Expected behavior English name and description in F-droid, "Aves Libre" name under installed app.

Thanks for the report. Maybe related to the recent inclusion of the "English (Shavian)" locale. It's already the cause for another issue:

There are 2 issues: 1) for the wrong description in F-droid, cf #1253
2) for the wrong app title in your launcher, it's trickier:

Android 7.0 (API level 24) introduced support for BCP 47 language tags

Ref: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providing-resources#AlternativeResources

Given that Shavian is an exotic English flavour, it's only possible to define it with a BCP 47 tag: b+en+Shaw. I thought Android 6 and below would just dismiss such tags, but instead it picks it over the default app title, and that's why you see the app title in Shavian.
