What it is
Weblate connects software repositories to localization workflows, bringing new strings to translators and returning completed translations to version control alongside project code. Translators can use screenshots, nearby strings, source references, glossaries, and translation memory for context. Customizable checks, discussion, and review help teams identify translation problems. Teams can use human translation alone or optionally offer machine translation and LLM suggestions with human acceptance and reviewer approval. Integrations include version-control repositories, an API, add-ons, and import and export tools. Supported formats include Android and Apple iOS strings, .NET resources, gettext, JSON, XLIFF, YAML, and WebExtension JSON. Weblate can be self-hosted or used as a cloud service. Self-hosting is free; cloud plans start at €47/mo and are priced by hosted strings across languages, counting the source language. Cloud plans include a 14-day trial. Free Libre hosting is available upon request for public libre projects, with a 160,000-string limit, one project, and unlimited languages and components.
