translate app store texts directly on Weblate

[eighthave]

Fastlane and Triple-T are two tools for syncing app store texts/graphics/screenshots/etc from a git repo to Google Play. Both of them are also directly supported by F-Droid. Weblate just launched a beta feature for directly translating the app store name/summary/description/whatsnew texts. As far as I know, no other translation platform supports these file formats.

See this in action for F-Droid's Android client: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/f-droid/f-droid-metadata/

@eighthave Hi, I have added fastlane for the store descriptions but I don't see how I can add this at weblate. Do I need to add a new component? Since this is an open source project I only have one component available at the moment.

yes you need to create a Weblate component for each different translation file type, even if they are in the same git repo.

@sschueller Took me a while to find this again ;) Won't https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/admin/addons.html#addon-weblate-discovery-discovery from the https://hosted.weblate.org/addons/peertube/android/ addons do it?

I have asked at weblate if they can add another component. I haven't heard back yet but as soon as I do I will update here.
