Currently all summaries and descriptions are English only.

To illustrate this issue, an example of an app which has summaries and descriptions in my language (Portuguese)

  • In F-Droid

  • In Droid-ify

Same goes to categories

I have the same issue in Droid-ify version v0.4.3:

  • my android locale is de (german)
  • the app gui is also german
  • f-droid-catalog-data is always taken from the english catalog data not the german

Same issue too. It is so inconvenient for me that I can't find the app that I want to install by name!


To better illustrate the issue, I have another example, 质感文件/Material Files, which has name, summaries and descriptions in my language (Chinese).

  • In F-Droid

  • In Droid-ify

  • So, when I enter "质感文件" in the search box,

Could you please add localized metadata display support? It is badly needed.

What do you mean with this?

Is the lang code matching problem the reason for non working localized metadata displaying?

In my case it doesn't work too. No German data. Is something implemented or planned?

Thanks for the great app 👍

Not planned for the foreseeable future…

I tried to work on a patch to add this feature to Droid-ify so I can share the app to non-English speakers. The patch is not upstreamed to Droid-ify yet since I'm not sure if they will accept such change (due to https://github.com/Iamlooker/Droid-ify/issues/337 is currently closed as not planned).

While I found Neo-Store is also based on Foxy-droid and the related codebase seems identical, I also tried to apply the same patch to Neo-Store and it works well on my end. I'll submit the patch to this repo later.

Patch submitted and here are some screenshots when the patch gets applied:

Searching for application with Chinese keyword, shows result in Chinese

In the product page, application information uses Chinese language

Hey, thanks! This is very nice to every volunteer translating content and nice for non or poor English speaking people.
