Translation service

Open neilideal opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hello! I translated many lines of the app into Russian today. The main problem turned out to be that when translating the metadata, some original texts were larger than the allowed translation! If this is in your hands, then please increase the size of the input field for translation. The Russian language often increases the size of the text one and a half times from the original. Even if the original text was placed in the translation field (and there were cases when even it did not fit), then Russian may already exceed the limit.

Same with most languages, e.g. German in my case.

If the translations are needed, @kingu or @jonjomckay should increase word count on weblate.

Yet, as I understand it, translations for older Fritter Android metadata (https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/fritter/fritter-android-metadata/) are not needed at all (which - quite frankly - resulted in frustration on my part as I spent hours translating obivously unwanted strings.

In my humble estimation, it would be better to remove all stuff not needed anymore on weblate to avoid futher confusion.
