We have added a new automation to merge translations when they are ready. When this component and the "website-pages" component are 100% translated with 0% failing checks, the language will be automatically sent to be merged into production. 03/31/2026 |

We just posted a big red banner on f-droid.org to call attention to https://keepandroidopen.org/ ! There is only one sentence that needs to be translated. I'm monitoring the translations and will include them on f-droid.org as soon as they are ready. 02/17/2026 |

We are starting the process of overhauling the Inclusion Policy. The entire page will be replaced by new text, then most likely, there will be some substantial updates to that page. Please reach out if you have ideas for how to best work within the translators' workflow. 02/10/2026 |

There were some corrupt strings, they broke the website build. I don't know what or how. I had to reset some strings to blank to get things building again. 01/23/2026 |

We're overhauling the texts on the front page, about, contribute and donate. The first new texts are available for translation already. We'd like to get as much as possible translated before launching at the end of this week. As usual, translations will always be merged as they are completed, so if you can't make it by the end of the week, your updates will still be merged. The overview for this effort is here: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issues/622 01/20/2026 |

There are a lot of new strings coming your way soon for the upcoming fdroidclient 2.0 alpha. Now would be a good time to review the source strings. We are looking for feedback to make sure the source strings work well for translators, and lead to translations that work well in the UI. The new strings are all the strings after the comment The merge request https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/merge_requests/1607 or the #fdroid-translators:f-droid.org channel are both good places to offer suggestions. 01/19/2026 |

For the upcoming v1.23 release, we're overhauling the UI for Material Design 3. There are nice guidelines for how to tailor the language for that. We are applying them to the English source strings: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/merge_requests/1497 Now is a good time to work through those guidelines in your language (unfortunately only in English): https://m3.material.io/foundations/content-design/style-guide/ux-writing-best-practices 02/18/2025 |
