@comradekingu Sorry for ping you here, is there any easier way to transfer ownership or they've to setup everything fresh? (see SimpleMobileTools/General-Discussion#241)

[comradekingu]

There is, but I am a libre software guy and not paid to help companies I don't like.
Weblate itself has paid support at https://weblate.org/hosting/
With the way it seems the new company is doing things, at least that means some funds for the Weblate coffers.

[shuvashish76]

Yes I totally agree with you.
I think you misunderstood the situation. "FossifyX" isn't related to "ZipoApps" the company which bought SMT. It's a community fork by @naveensingh (former SMT member/dev) to keep the original principle of SMT alive. (see SimpleMobileTools/General-Discussion#241 (comment))

It would be great if it could be transferred. It'll save some time and effort.

Hello @comradekingu, could you please take a moment to review this comment made by @shuvashish76 and provide us with an answer?
Thank you.

Any Weblate admin can add a new admin in
https://hosted.weblate.org/access/simple-mobile-tools/#users
then change the project name in
https://hosted.weblate.org/settings/simple-mobile-tools/

It is also possible to download everything as a ZIP, and/or copy over all the settings to a new project.

I am kingu on Hosted Weblate, and not actually a simple mobile tools admin (only tibbi is).

Got it, thanks :)

I'm setting up translations here (almost done): https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/fossify

The weblate team is currently busy so they won't review the project for libre hosting approval right away but they have extended the trial period for two months.

@naveensingh I suggest when ever what name you choose that you lock the translations of the app names, they shouldn't be translated. It led to confusion with the SMT suite. Though launcher names can and should be translated.

@naveensingh Also, should changelogs be translated too?

Wouldn't it be best if the previous Simple Mobile Tools changelog where archived, and acssesible that way and Fossify starting from scratch and a new versioning base?

Yes, app names won't be translated. I'll be moving names to donottranslate soon.

Currently, no because I'll be deleting the SMT changelogs. The future changelogs should be translated but it's not a necessity.

Old changelogs will be deleted and yes, we are starting from 1.0.0.

Weblate integration seems to work fine, closing this...
