How do you deal with open translations and app store rejections


I have an open source app that is on github and connected to weblate which allows anyone to translate strings in the app as well as the store listing information. App updates are packaged with fastlane and sent to google play.

Doing this however I run into the risk of having my app pulled from the play store if someone writes something that is not permitted (the guidelines are getting ridiculous, my app was rejected yesterday because of a typo) in the store listing description. I can't audit this because I don't speak or read all languages.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this?

It sounds like these translations are included in git and merged with a pull request like anything else right?

In that case require a code review from someone who speaks the language.
