Categories localization

1

Hello,

I would like to use my own category, the name of which is translated for each country.

I tried following the instructions All About Descriptions, Graphics, and Screenshots | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository, but I couldn’t find any information there about the localization of Categories.

I use:

  • F-Droid client app ver. 1.20.0
  • fdroidserver ver. 2.1-1

Thank you very much for your answer.

for the main f-droid.org repo the Categories are currently not modifiable.

is this about a custom repo or about a certain app you want to include?

I would like to use own repo and specific application in new category.

Info:

  • When I use a new category type in the metadata in the yml file, I see it in the F-Droid application on Android device, but I would need to have the category name for multiple languages

so you added your extra categories in your local config/categories.yml · master · F-Droid / Data · GitLab file

and pics in config · master · F-Droid / Data · GitLab named category_MYNEWONE.png

and added your translation in config/de · master · F-Droid / Data · GitLab … files ?

(those are the setup for f-droid.org so you just adapt them for your local repo)

No.

I put a new category in the file metadata/com.company.myapp.yml

Example com.company.myapp.yml:

Categories:
  - Utils

If I switch the view in the application on Android device to the Categories view, I see my new category Utils in which my application is located
