Thank you so much!

[jo-spek]

I'm a bit confused here. Is this going forward now? Checks have failed because it's missing approval only, or is there another problem?

Thanks @jo-spek ! In order to submit code to this repo you'll need to first accept the Google CLA at https://cla.developers.google.com/clas.

Also, the checks are failing due to "Invalid unicode escape sequence in string" on several of the strings. Pasting the actual errors below.

Once those are resolved we should be able to approve and merge.

@jo-spek I fixed one issue - apparently ' needs to be escaped with \. There are several other issues identified by Android Studio, namely missing translations, and some translations which actually aren't used. Did you translate these from pt? The en strings.xml has the complete list of strings needed.

The best way to resolve all of these issues is to open the project in Android Studio. There you'll see all off the potential issues highlighted inline, e.g.:

[jo-spek]

Oh, yes. Quite understandable that ' would cause problems. But the French diacritics are not a problem then? I'll go over it.

[shobhitagarwal1612]

You can also try adding changes from #2771 to your branch.

[gino-m]

Oh, yes. Quite understandable that ' would cause problems. But the French diacritics are not a problem then? I'll go over it.

I don't think the diacritics are a problem; I checked and they seem to be correctly encoded in UTF-8.

[gino-m]

@shobhitagarwal1612 added these in #2771 so we can close this. @kenstershiro please cmiiw.

[kenstershiro]

Hey @gino-m , @shobhitagarwal1612 , to help me understand better, #2771 seems to have a commit on the french-translations branch, do we need an extra step to push these changes to master? And does 2771 include all the translations from Jonah above?

It looks like the French translations are already submitted. They should be appearing on new versions of the app on devices with French set as the system language.

[shobhitagarwal1612]

@gino-m French translations haven't been submitted yet. Should I revive #2771 again or the changes can be copied to this branch instead?

[gino-m]

Reviving either is fine, provided @jo-spek 's commit history is preserved. Thanks @shobhitagarwal1612 !

[shobhitagarwal1612]

@gino-m Merged changes from #2771 to this branch. Please squash and merge to attribute the commit to @jo-spek. PTAL?
