Metadata translations for app stores


#1

I will post here whenever we have metadata to translate for a release. These translations are required to include the translations in a release on the iOS or Mac app stores (maybe more stores in the future). For now we have this short list of changes for 1.1.1:

- Fixed some crashing - Fixed The Long Haul (arcade level) - Fixed instructions on titlescreen - New translation: Italian

And if your translation is at 100% but you haven’t translated the main description, that is required as well (currently Italian is the only one this applies to):

An old-school 2d platformer game, starring a certain quixotic frog. From the creators of Battle for Wesnoth comes this exciting jump-and-run platformer. Frogatto has gorgeous, high-end pixel art, pumping arcade tunes, and all the gameplay nuance of a classic console title. Run and jump over pits and enemies. Grab enemies with your tongue, swallow them, and then spit them out at other enemies as projectiles! Fight dangerous bosses, and solve vexing puzzles. Collect coins and use them to buy upgrades and new abilities in the store. Talk to characters in game, and work to unravel Big Bad Milgram's plot against the townsfolk! At over 30 levels set in 4 different environments, Frogatto is not a flash in the pan, and has the play-time you'd expect from a real videogame.

Frogatto was made by a group of big-time fans of classic videogames, who are hoping to bring back the magic in a new, original game design with unconventional gameplay mechanics - a fun break from the usual clones. We’re a small group of indie developers, hoping this game becomes one of the definitive platform games on iOS - and you can make that happen!

Adding here while we figure out a nice way to get these as output from the translation files themselves
