I don't use Transifex anymore because it does not respect liberty, and suggest registering the project on hosted Weblate instead.

Can you let me know how Transifex does not respect liberty? I've not had an issue so far, but would like to hear your experience.

The build is failing because it says this string is not in the correct format. This string is being passed on argument (the name of the application) and needs to have %s in it. The original is:

About <xliff:g id="app_name">%s</xliff:g>

Maybe the following will work?

Suggested change
<string name="about_title_fmt">Om</string>
<string name="about_title_fmt">Om <xliff:g id="app_name">%s</xliff:g></string>

@brarcher Changed it, though I prefer the simpler style.
Transifex, the closed source software where nearly everything is broken, tries to load visualwebsiteoptimizer, newerlic, googletagmanager, google analytics, cloudflare, etc. etc.

From their privacy policy:

"We may receive data about organizations, industries, website visitors, marketing campaigns, and other matters related to our business from affiliates, subsidiaries, partners, or others that we use to make our own information better or more useful. This data may be combined with other information we collect and might include aggregate level data."

Also curiously:

"The Services are not intended for use by you if you are under 18 years of age. By agreeing to these Terms, you are representing to us that you are over 18."

Transifex... tries to load visualwebsiteoptimizer, newerlic, googletagmanager, google analytics, cloudflare, etc. etc.

Interesting. I did not realize it was gathering so much extra data. I've send a request to Weblate to see if they would accept hosting the translations for the project. If they are, and its workflow is reasonable, I'll consider using that instead.

Either way, thanks for the translation!
