Weblate is an open source web-based translation tool with version control. It includes several hundred languages with basic definitions, and enables the addition of more language definitions, all definitions can be edited by the web community or a defined set of people, as well as through integrating machine translation, such as DeepL, Amazon Translate, or Google Translate. [4]

Stated goals

Weblate aims to facilitate web based translation with tight Git integration for a wide range of file formats, helping translators contribute without knowledge of Git workflow.

Translations closely follow development, as they are hosted within the same repository as the source code. There is no plan for heavy conflict resolution, as it is argued these should primarily be handled on the Git side. [5]

Project name

The project's name is a portmanteau of words web and translate.

In computing, gettext is an internationalization and localization system commonly used for writing multilingual programs on Unix-like computer operating systems. One of the main benefits of gettext is that it separates programming from translating. The most commonly used implementation of gettext is GNU gettext, released by the GNU Project in 1995. The runtime library is libintl. gettext provides an option to use different strings for any number of plural forms of nouns, but this feature has no support for grammatical gender. The main filename extensions used by this system are .POT, .PO and .MO.
