Thanks to &gt;200 people, CoMaps is available in ~50 languages, but there are still many missing! You speak a second language and want to help? Many languages from around the world have started but not yet completed translations, including Arabic, Indonesian, Persian, Thai, Swahili, and Vietnamese and many more. If you can help, check out our Weblate: https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/comaps/ And if you&#39;d like to add a language that&#39;s completely missing so far: Get in touch with us to get that process started.

@CoMaps@floss.social I’d love to, but … your translation strings are so weird and confusing. Why is %#@value@ a translatable string? Why are there multiple NULL as translatable strings? … and what the hell is this? money|U+1F3E6|U+1F4B0|U+1F4B2|U+1F4B3|U+1F4B4|U+1F4B5|U+1F4B6|U+1F4B7 Translators should not have to deal with technical terms, strings that should not be translated at all, or weird lists of IDs and Unicode codepoints. Having the app translatable was clearly and obviously an afterthought. Are there any plans to clean that mess up? Is there a reasonable way to help?

@CoMaps@floss.social I tried to see if I could provide some help with French, but I see some confusing things like `4Parking`. Any docs that mention what are these, and how exactly to translate? For instance, `ATM` can be translated as `Distributeur Automatique de Billets`, but everybody just call them "distributeur".
