GNOME automatically excludes release descriptions on Damned Lies (GNOME Translation Platform). It's a good practice to follow the GNOME way. This can streamline the translation process, allowing translators to focus their efforts on more critical and user-facing aspects of the application.
Add bugtracker, vcs-browser and translate URLs to show bug tracker, source code and translation repositories.
> The `<translation/>` tag is an optional tag which can be added to specify the translation domain used for this software component. It may be used by the AppStream distro metadata generator to determine the translation status of the respective software (e.g. which languages the software is translated into and how complete the translations are). https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html#tag-translation

Flathub requires a developer tag and developer ID. Also Appstream decided to use rdns structure for developer ID. It allows reverse-dns IDs like sh.cozy, de.geigi or Fediverse handle (like @user@example.org) > A developer tag with a name child tag must be present. > Only one developer tag is allowed and the name tag also must be present only once in untranslated form. ``` <developer id="tld.vendor"> <name>Developer name</name> </developer> ``` Source: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/metainfo-guidelines/#name-summary-and-developer-name > The element should have a id property, containing a unique ID to identify the component developer / development team. It is recommended to use a reverse-DNS name, like org.gnome or io.github.ximion, or a Fediverse handle (like @user@example.org) as ID to achieve a higher chance of uniqueness.
