So, this comments is here: 
https://translate.stg.fedoraproject.org/translate/ibus-typing-booster/app/ca/?checksum=deecda9491124d4f#comments

the source string is: translator-credits

Weblate's default setting is:
By default the length of a given translation is limited to the length of 
the source string * 10 characters. Set this option to False to allow 
longer translations (up to 10.000 characters) irrespective of the source 
length.
source: 
https://docs.weblate.org/en/weblate-3.10.3/admin/config.html#limit-translation-length-by-source-length


The workaround is to play with with "max-length:10000" from 
https://docs.weblate.org/en/weblate-3.10.3/admin/checks.html#customizing-behavior


But the real fix is to use one of these ways to credits translators:
* git log (thanks to weblate, you have one commit per real author)
* weblate's reports 
https://translate.stg.fedoraproject.org/projects/ibus-typing-booster/#reports
* weblate's addon to add contributors in comments: 
https://docs.weblate.org/en/weblate-3.10.3/admin/addons.html#contributors-in-comment
   I activate this by default on every single component
* you can also enable the statistics generator: 
https://docs.weblate.org/en/weblate-3.10.3/admin/addons.html#statistics-generator

As you can see, there is many ways to credits translators, and this is 
very nice of you to include us.
I feel like the "credit-translators" string should not be encouraged 
anymore.
