For New Contributors

Weblate does not offer membership control in their OSS license. As the platform is getting popular, more abusive behaviour is being noticed. As a result, even if you contribute to App Manager, your contribution will not be added to the project unless you submit a request via GitHub or E-Mail asserting that you've read and understood the translation policies (click the Info tab). Existing contributors will not be affected by this (but translations policies are still applicable to them).

Instructions for translators

Translating App Manager

Some of the regular translators have complained that some new contributors are hampering their efforts by repeatedly mistranslating strings and/or translating strings without context because they do not actually use the app or are not particularly familiar with its features. Translating App Manager requires some domain-specific knowledge meaning that not everybody is able to understand the context of a string unless they are familiar with it. In the light of these events, we feel the necessity to enforce some rules and regulations to limit such abusive behaviours.

Requirements

  1. You should have an account in GitHub so that you can communicate with the other contributors should you encounter any issues or have problems understanding the context of a string.
  2. You must have some knowledge regarding Android ecosystem. For example, you must be familiar with terms such as permissions, API/SDK, components, signatures, app operations, etc.
  3. You must only translate App Manager into a language you are quite familiar with in the context that you actually use the language to communicate with people. Learning a language only theoretically may make you expert on the language, you may still lack the knowledge regarding how people actually use the language in real life. “No translation” is better than “bad translation”. While it is perfectly okay to take help from a machine, final translations should be decided by you, not the machine.

Penalties

  1. If we are convinced that you didn't fulfil the requirements above, we shall permanently block your account.
  2. If we discover any attempts of spamming or any other malicious behaviour, your account will be blocked permanently. No appeal can be made against the decision.
  3. If we find that you are involved in mistranslating a string either intentionally or due to machine translations, or involved in a translation war where you are the adversary, you're account will be blocked temporarily or permanently depending on how abusive your actions were.
  4. The use of NSFW is considered an abusive behaviour, and if you use such words in a comment in Weblate's App Manager project, you will be blocked temporarily.

Except penalty no. 2, you can appeal against the decision using the official channels such as GitHub, Matrix or E-Mail.

Changes to the policies

Changes to the policies shall be announced via the announcements.
