Picking up the recent discussion regarding new language commit (7e83bb5590) ...

There is a problem with the workflow between Weblate and Android Studio when it comes to languages that have two language code - such as the Indonesian language ("id" and "in"). See also:
https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Locale#legacy-language-codes

The solution discussed in the above mentioned commit works: Prior to a built of the app the most recent version of the translation (strings.xml) gets copied over to the legacy language folder - in this case to values-in.

The problem now is that Weblate warns me that the app has "several translation files mapped to single language" (see screenshot).

I am now somewhat unsure what to do next.

@zmni @comradekingu - I moved the discussion over to this Issue here, to better keep track of it.

For Indonesian language, I think it is safe to omit id from the source entirely as AOSP apps also only use in in their sources [1][2][3]. Or maybe you can try use a symlink like f-droid did (I'm not developer, I don't know how this symlink thing actually work, just pass on info on how other devs handle this issue.).
