@marcprux great #FDroid post brought the issue into the light, waking up developers, users, media and (we hope) concerned authorities to the immense danger the newly proposed gatekeeping controls Google wants to add.

@samuel It's not that easy, in https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/f-droid/website-posts/ select your language, then Search for "location:=_posts/2025-09-29-google-developer-registration-decree.md" (without quotes). Then you can translate 😉
