I am writing to you with a common challenge when I use Transifex with Android.

Transifex uses theses language strings and alike: `en` `en-US`.  
Android uses `en`, ‘en-rUS’, see [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/app-fundamentals/localization).  
In my repository, however, I have folders using `/metadata/en-US` for fastlane, see [here](https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/supply/#changelogs-whats-new).

Currently, I am only using the language codes like `de` to circumvent this problem.

I know about the mapping of languages which seems only available for all entries at once, either breaking fastlane or Android.

I can use a CI running first changing things but that.  
I wonder what your ideas are.

Hello Nicco

Thank you for reaching out to us. I would recommend the following:

1. Separate fastlane and android into two separate projects. That way their language mapping is unique.
2. Use our [CLI client](https://docs.transifex.com/client/introduction) instead of the direct integration. The CLI client allows for language mapping by resource. To integrate with Github and a CI tool look at our instructions [here](https://docs.transifex.com/transifex-github-integrations/github-tx-client).

Please let me know if this helps.

Kind Regards,
