DAVx⁵ translations

Want to help translating? → https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/davx5/

This repository holds the English source strings and all translations of DAVx⁵. The other DAVx⁵ repositories mirror their english original strings over in to /sources. Weblate reads the original strings and writes only to /translations. The other DAVx⁵ repositories pull this whole repository back in as a git submodule named l10n.

How a string travels

English text is written in the app repos
  davx5-ose:  core/src/main/res/values/strings.xml
  davx5:      app-non-ose/src/{gplay,managed,select}/res/values/…
        │
        │  a GitHub Actions workflow in the app repo mirrors the file over
        ▼
  sources/<flavor>/strings.xml            (this repo)
        │
        │  Weblate reads this as the English base
        ▼
  Weblate — translators work here
        │
        │  Weblate pushes directly to main, no pull request
        ▼
  translations/<flavor>/values-*/strings.xml   (this repo)
        │
        │  git submodule "l10n", pinned to one commit
        ▼
  davx5-ose  ──▶ APK  (F-Droid)
  davx5      ──▶ APK  (Google Play, Managed DAVx⁵)  — via davx5-ose/l10n

Because the submodule is pinned to a commit, no translation reaches the DAVx⁵ App until the pointer is bumped.

Nothing here is hand-edited

Every directory has exactly one writer: sources/ is written by the mirror workflows, translations/ by Weblate, .weblate-repo/ by nobody. That is why CI and Weblate can never conflict.

• To change English text, edit it in davx5-ose (or davx5 for gplay/managed/select). The mirror workflow copies it here.
• To report a wrong translation, comment on the string in Weblate instead of editing the file.

Rules

• Never squash- or rebase-merge, and don't install the "Squash Git commits" Weblate add-on. Weblate makes one commit per translator — that's where translator credits come from.
• Never force-push or delete main. Weblate has its own clone and can no longer fast-forward after a rewrite; its components lock themselves.
• Keep this repository public. The F-Droid build server clones it anonymously; if it goes private, F-Droid silently ships an English-only app.
• Don't delete .weblate-repo/. It is the base file of Weblate's repo-holder component; deleting it takes the linked components and their translation history with it.

Notice

Weblate generates these Android resource qualifiers itself. One looks wrong but is correct: Indonesian is values-in, not values-id (Android uses the legacy ISO 639-1 code). Please don't "fix" it.
