### Before the release
- [ ] Weblate sync, fix lint issue if any (in a dedicated PR)
- [ ] Check the update of the store descriptions (using Google Translate if necessary) to ensure that the changes are acceptable to be published to the stores.
- [ ] While Weblate is locked, and after the PR from Weblate has been merged, handle all the TODOs in the main `strings.xml` file
- [ ] Run the script `./tools/release/pushPlayStoreMetaData.sh`. You can check in the GooglePlay console the Activity log to check the effect.
