Fdroid localisation rules/list of supported locales

I am in the process of localizing my apps using fastlane dir layout in-the-apps-source-repository through MyProjectRoot/app/src/debug/res/values(-xx)/fdroid.xml. files maintained by web translationservice https://crowdin.com which i manually convert to short_description.txt, . full_description.txt and title.txt

The fdroid localisation docs curently have a placeholder <locale> without providing a list or rules how these locales should look like.

(Without having fastlane installed:) Is there a list which locales are supportet or how exactly they should look like?

Is fastlane <locale> in the format of language-COUNTRY like en-US (english spoken in usa) ?

I currently assume these directory mappings

Is there any tool that shows me how my fastlane style localisation will look like?

No, not yet. We’re working on smoothing that whole process out. More here: support displaying basic HTML in app descriptions in App Details (#1000) · Issues · F-Droid / Client · GitLab
