sitelen musi li suli
LargeEmojiAndroid
In the context of a settings entry, I think it would be clearer if it was phrased as a command ("sitelen o suli"). Plus, Emoji have (semi-)consistently been translated as "sitelen Emoji", while "sitelen musi" is more frequently used for stickers. I'd advocate for changing this to "o suli e sitelen Emoji" (and there's an existing suggestion to that effect)

%@ li toki…
DialogList.SingleTypingSuffixiOS
I'm more curious on another aspect. Can we translate it as %@ li luka... for typing, rather than speaking. I understand the context of speech in a communications app, but I feel the distinction of sitelen toki and toki taso to be rather significant, but that's just me trying to distinguish machines and human speech cause you know, GPT, maybe I'm a bot.

sina sona e seme? mi wile sona e sona sina.

Note: tawa mi la, "pali e linja tawa [proxy]" li pona. kin la, "alasa e linja tawa [network]" li pona.

Creating a connection that doesn't already exist occurs with proxies. Looking for a connection that should already exist occurs with the open network.

ExternalFolderInfoAndroid
This omits the idea that it's explicitly the external storage, but I've yet to think of a concise way to describe it. Calling it "'poki sin" as in the other translation implies it's actually new, but it isn't new. Saying it's "external" doesn't really work, because the spatially descriptive words in Toki Pona don't quite work that way. Describing an SD card knowing that you're talking about an SD card would be easy, but just reading text would make it hard!

OptimizingTelegramDescription1Android
I chose not to include "depending on the size of the database". While it is possbile, and reasonable, to translate this? Out of context, it is missing a lot of information to make it intelligible, and it isn't as important as expressing "this can take a long time" and "please keep the app open until finished"

I compromise on expressing either that these are stickers (they're visible) or that they're used (you would probably see that), saying they're "from" a short time ago (recently).

alright this is a correct translation but it bothers me a bit because it has NO particles
a preposition particle equivalent to "e" would be nice just to disambiguate, but we don't live in that toki pona
"you exist-not chat" -> you aren't in the chat
"you exist-not e chat" -> you did not exist (create) the chat
