gd locale's translations vandalized on some high-visibility buttons

  • Device OS and version: /e/ OS 3.0.4-t-20250709507786-official-FP3
  • Device model/manufacturer: Fairphone 3+
  • F-Droid version (in the About screen): 1.23.1
  • F-Droid privileged extension version (if installed):

What did you do? (clear steps if possible)

Open the app

What did you expect to see?

Correct translations or English fallback strings

What did you see instead?

Nonsense English strings. I don't know if that was some malicious intent, or some AI autofill?

I'm wondering if this can be rolled back and if this was done manually by somebody, ban that person from Weblate. I have fixed the string that I have spotted in Weblate already, but there might be more.

  • "Open" = "Fishtail", should be "Fosgail"
  • "Uninstall" = "Christchurch", should be "Dì-stàlaich"

f-droid2

  • "Install" = "Stomach", should be "Stàlaich"

  • 3 of the 5 main buttons have also been vandalized.
  • Also, found "OK" translated as "MEANSREYTOCH", correct translation is "Ceart ma-thà".
