## Translating
Translations happen on [Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/gearslip/), not in pull
Translations happen on [Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/gearslip/), never in pull
requests. Pick your language, or start a new one, and translate in the browser. Weblate
sends the finished work to this repository as a pull request.
Don't edit the translated `values-*/strings.xml` files by hand. Weblate keeps its own copy of
every language, so a change made in git collides with Weblate's next update, and the pull
request that made it gets closed. If a code change adds or rewords text, change only the
English file, `values/strings.xml`; Weblate picks up the new strings for translators.
Keep the tone of the English: short, plain, and friendly. Leave placeholders such as `%1$s`
and `%1$d` in place; Gearslip fills them with names and numbers. Untranslated strings show
in English, so a partial translation is still useful.
