Description

Fastlane and Triple-T are two tools for syncing app store texts/graphics/screenshots/etc from a git repo to Google Play. Both of them are also directly supported by F-Droid. Weblate just launched a beta feature for directly translating the app store name/summary/description/whatsnew texts. As far as I know, no other translation platform supports these file formats.

See this in action for F-Droid's Android client:

Research direction

The issue names no RedReader file, test, or entry point; it points instead to Weblate's beta feature and the F-Droid metadata example. Start by reviewing those linked references and defining the repository integration boundary; done would require an agreed implementation scope for syncing translated app-store text.
