Sorry for the mostly AI generated bug report and its stupid formatting (my own attempt at explaining the issue was just gibberish so this is better than that), and hopefully this is an okay place to leave bug report,s but we have a weird issue on Android after updating to usage of Github App

Summary

The SimpleLocalize GitHub App download writes identical Swedish (sv) content to all three language files (en, fi, sv), ignoring the language-key mapping in simplelocalize-github.yml. The dashboard shows correct translations for all languages — the issue is only in the download output.

Environment

Configuration

download:

pull-branch: "develop"

push-branch: "simplelocalize/translations"

files:

- path: "client/src/main/res/values/strings.xml"

format: "android-strings"

language-key: "en"

options: [WRITE_NESTED, INCLUDE_DESCRIPTIONS]

- path: "client/src/main/res/values-fi/strings.xml"

format: "android-strings"

language-key: "fi"

options: [WRITE_NESTED, INCLUDE_DESCRIPTIONS]

- path: "client/src/main/res/values-sv/strings.xml"

format: "android-strings"

language-key: "sv"

options: [WRITE_NESTED, INCLUDE_DESCRIPTIONS]

Legacy CLI config also present:

downloadPath: ./client/src/main/res/values-{lang}/strings.xml

downloadLanguageKeys: ['fi', 'sv']

Expected vs Actual

Expected: Each file gets its own language (en -> values/, fi -> values-fi/, sv ->

values-sv/).

Actual: All three files are byte-for-byte identical, all containing Swedish:

<!-- values/strings.xml — should be English -->

<string name="action_generic_cancel">Avbryt</string> <!-- should be "Cancel" -->

<string name="action_continue">Fortsätt</string> <!-- should be "Continue" -->

<!-- values-fi/strings.xml — should be Finnish -->

<string name="action_generic_cancel">Avbryt</string> <!-- should be "Peruuta" -->

<string name="action_continue">Fortsätt</string> <!-- should be "Jatka" -->

What We Verified

- Dashboard translations are correct for all languages

- Default language is English, fallback is None

- language-key mappings in config are correct

- Source files on develop branch contain correct English

- The old integration (GitHub Actions + CLI) worked correctly

Timeline

Mar 13 │ Last update via old CLI workflow -> Correct

Mar 20 │ Migrated to GitHub App -> No download yet

Mar 26 │ First GitHub App download -> All files Swedish

Mar 31 │ 4th language (German) added then removed -> Still all Swedish

The GitHub App has never produced a correct download since migration.

Possible Issue From Our Side

The legacy simplelocalize.yaml has downloadLanguageKeys: ['fi', 'sv'] (no English). If the

GitHub App reads or merges this file, it could cause language resolution issues — but

shouldn't produce identical Swedish in all files.
