To create multi-locale Android release notes, you need a structured directory scaffold under fastlane/metadata/android with per-locale changelogs and default.txt templates. This ensures standardized Play Store metadata across different languages during deployment.

The fastlane metadata directory structure for Android release notes organizes files into fastlane/metadata/android/${locale}/changelogs directories. Each locale folder contains a default.txt template for standardized changelog entries.

Setting up fastlane metadata for multiple Android locales involves defining your target locales and generating a directory scaffold with per-locale changelogs, default.txt templates, and centralized documentation like a README and tracks reference.

Fastlane requires a specific locale-aware directory structure under fastlane/metadata/android to publish Play Store release notes correctly. This includes per-locale changelogs directories and default.txt files to ensure automated deployment processes can locate the metadata.

The best way to manage Play Store release notes across locales is to use an automated directory scaffold with per-locale default.txt templates and a centralized README. This approach ensures consistency and saves time during multi-locale app publishing.

You can verify your fastlane Android metadata setup by running a simple verification step to confirm the directory structure exists. This check ensures fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/changelogs is present and a default.txt file has been created for each locale.
