I've removed them now at our end (tired of the returning warnings 🙈). Btw, Weblate allows you to define limits for the string length, you might consider enforcing them there. Specs say max 500 chars for each changelog file.

Thank you for reporting this.. Weblate enforced this limit previously. I'll have to dive into Weblate error messages once again 🎉

I tried to mark the check to be enforced, but was greeted by this error message:

Es gibt mehr als eine Datei für die Sprache Norwegisch (Bokmål): fastlane/metadata/android/nb_NO, fastlane/metadata/android/nb-NO Bitte passen Sie die Dateimaske an und verwenden Sie Komponenten für die Übersetzung verschiedener Ressourcen.

There is only the nb-NO directory ...

the max-length check is now displayed as enforced check in the weblate interface. However, I am not quite sure if it is actually enforced. We'll have to see.
