Configuration#

All settings are stored in settings.py (as is usual for Django).

Note

After changing any of these settings, you need to restart Weblate - both WSGI and Celery processes.

In case it is run as mod_wsgi, you need to restart Apache to reload the configuration.

See also

Please also check Django’s documentation for parameters configuring Django itself.

AKISMET_API_KEY#

Weblate can use Akismet to check incoming anonymous suggestions for spam. Visit akismet.com to purchase an API key and associate it with a site.

ANONYMOUS_USER_NAME#

Username of users that are not signed in.

Access control

AUDITLOG_EXPIRY#

New in version 3.6.

How many days Weblate should keep audit logs, which contain info about account activity.

Defaults to 180 days.

AUTH_LOCK_ATTEMPTS#

Maximum number of failed authentication attempts before rate limiting is applied.

This is currently applied in the following locations:

Sign in. Deletes the account password, preventing the user from signing in without requesting a new password.

Rate limiting

AUTO_UPDATE#

New in version 3.2.

Changed in version 3.11: The original on/off option was changed to differentiate which strings are accepted.

Updates all repositories on a daily basis.

Hint

Useful if you are not using Notification hooks to update Weblate repositories automatically.

Note

On/off options exist in addition to string selection for backward compatibility.

Options are:

"none": No daily updates.
"remote" also False: Only update remotes.
"full" also True: Update remotes and merge working copy.

Note

This requires that Background tasks using Celery is working, and will take effect after it is restarted.

AVATAR_URL_PREFIX#

Prefix for constructing avatar URLs as: ${AVATAR_URL_PREFIX}/avatar/${MAIL_HASH}?${PARAMS}. The following services are known to work:

Gravatar (default), as per https://gravatar.com/: AVATAR_URL_PREFIX = 'https://www.gravatar.com/'
Libravatar, as per https://www.libravatar.org/: AVATAR_URL_PREFIX = 'https://www.libravatar.org/'

AUTH_TOKEN_VALID#

How long the authentication token and temporary password from password reset e-mails is valid for. Set in number of seconds, defaulting to 172800 (2 days).

AUTH_PASSWORD_DAYS#

How many days will Weblate reject reusing previously used password for an user.

The checking is based on the audit log, AUDITLOG_EXPIRY needs to be at least same as this.

Note

Password changes made prior to Weblate 2.15 will not be accounted for in this policy.

Defaults to 180 days.

AUTOFIX_LIST#

List of automatic fixes to apply when saving a string.

Note

Provide a fully-qualified path to the Python class that implementing the autofixer interface.

Available fixes:

weblate.trans.autofixes.whitespace.SameBookendingWhitespace: Matches whitespace at the start and end of the string to the source.
weblate.trans.autofixes.chars.ReplaceTrailingDotsWithEllipsis: Replaces trailing dots (…) if the source string has a corresponding ellipsis (…).
weblate.trans.autofixes.chars.RemoveZeroSpace: Removes zero-width space characters if the source does not contain any.
weblate.trans.autofixes.chars.RemoveControlChars: Removes control characters if the source does not contain any.
weblate.trans.autofixes.chars.DevanagariDanda: Replaces sentence full stop in Bangla by Devanagari danda.
weblate.trans.autofixes.html.BleachHTML: Removes unsafe HTML markup from strings flagged as safe-html (see Unsafe HTML).

You can select which ones to use:

AUTOFIX_LIST = (
    "weblate.trans.autofixes.whitespace.SameBookendingWhitespace",
    "weblate.trans.autofixes.chars.ReplaceTrailingDotsWithEllipsis",
)

BACKGROUND_TASKS#

New in version 4.5.2.

Defines how often lengthy maintenance tasks should be triggered for a component.

Right now this controls:

Automatic translation add-on
Checks and fixups recalculation

Possible choices:

monthly (this is the default)
weekly
daily
never

Note

Increasing the frequency is not recommended when Weblate contains thousands of components.

BASIC_LANGUAGES#

New in version 4.4.

List of languages to offer users for starting new translation. When not specified built-in list is used which includes all commonly used languages, but without country specific variants.

This only limits non privileged users to add unwanted languages. The project admins are still presented with full selection of languages defined in Weblate.

Note

This does not define new languages for Weblate, it only filters existing ones in the database.

Example:

BASIC_LANGUAGES = {"cs", "it", "ja", "en"}

See also

Language definitions

BORG_EXTRA_ARGS#

New in version 4.9.

You can pass additional arguments to borg create when built-in backups are triggered.

Example:

BORG_EXTRA_ARGS = ["--exclude", "vcs/"]

CACHE_DIR#

New in version 4.16.

Directory where Weblate stores cache files. Defaults to cache subfolder in DATA_DIR.

Change this to local or temporary filesystem if DATA_DIR is on a network filesystem.

The Docker container uses a separate volume for this, see Docker container volumes.

CSP_SCRIPT_SRC, CSP_IMG_SRC, CSP_CONNECT_SRC, CSP_STYLE_SRC, CSP_FONT_SRC#

Customize Content-Security-Policy header for Weblate. The header is automatically generated based on enabled integrations with third-party services (Matomo, Google Analytics, Sentry, …).

All these default to empty list.

Example:

# Enable Cloudflare Javascript optimizations
CSP_SCRIPT_SRC = ["ajax.cloudflare.com"]

CHECK_LIST#

List of quality checks to perform on a translation.

Note

Provide a fully-qualified path to the Python class implementing the check interface.

Adjust the list of checks to include ones relevant to you.

All built-in Quality checks are turned on by default, from where you can change these settings. By default they are commented out in Sample configuration so that default values are used. New checks then carried out for each new Weblate version.

You can turn off all checks:

CHECK_LIST = ()

You can turn on only a few:

CHECK_LIST = (
    "weblate.checks.chars.BeginNewlineCheck",
    "weblate.checks.chars.EndNewlineCheck",
    "weblate.checks.chars.MaxLengthCheck",
)

Note

Changing this setting only affects newly changed translations, existing checks will still be stored in the database. To also apply changes to the stored translations, run updatechecks.

COMMENT_CLEANUP_DAYS#

New in version 3.6.

Delete comments after a given number of days. Defaults to None, meaning no deletion at all.

COMMIT_PENDING_HOURS#

Number of hours between committing pending changes by way of the background task.

CONTACT_FORM#

New in version 4.6.

Configures how e-mail from the contact form is being sent. Choose a configuration that matches your mail server configuration.

"reply-to": The sender is used in as Reply-To, this is the default behaviour.
"from": The sender is used in as From. Your mail server needs to allow sending such e-mails.

DATA_DIR#

The folder Weblate stores all data in. It contains links to VCS repositories, a fulltext index and various configuration files for external tools.

The following subdirectories usually exist:

home

Home directory used for invoking scripts.

ssh

SSH keys and configuration.

static

Default location for static Django files, specified by STATIC_ROOT. See Serving static files.

The Docker container uses a separate volume for this, see Docker container volumes.

vcs

Version control repositories for translations.

backups

Daily backup data, please check Dumped data for backups for details.

fonts:

User-uploaded fonts, see Managing fonts.

cache

Various caches, can be placed elsewhere using CACHE_DIR.

The Docker container uses a separate volume for this, see Docker container volumes.

Note

This directory has to be writable by Weblate. Running it as uWSGI means the www-data user should have write access to it.

The easiest way to achieve this is to make the user the owner of the directory:

sudo chown www-data:www-data -R $DATA_DIR

Defaults to /home/weblate/data, but it is expected to be configured.

DATABASE_BACKUP#

New in version 3.1.

Whether the database backups should be stored as plain text, compressed or skipped. The authorized values are:

"plain"
"compressed"

Whether to turn on Gravatar-based avatars for users. By default this is on.

Avatars are fetched and cached on the server, lowering the risk of leaking private info, speeding up the user experience.

ENABLE_HOOKS#

Whether to enable anonymous remote hooks.

See also

Notification hooks

ENABLE_HTTPS#

Whether to send links to Weblate as HTTPS or HTTP. This setting affects sent e-mails and generated absolute URLs.

In the default configuration this is also used for several Django settings related to HTTPS - it enables secure cookies, toggles HSTS or enables redirection to HTTPS URL.

The HTTPS redirection might be problematic in some cases and you might hit issue with infinite redirection in case you are using a reverse proxy doing SSL termination which does not correctly pass protocol headers to Django. Please tweak your reverse proxy configuration to emit X-Forwarded-Proto or Forwarded headers or configure SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER to let Django correctly detect the SSL status.

EXTRA_HTML_HEAD#

New in version 4.15.

Insert additional markup into HTML header. Can be used for verification of site ownership, for example:

EXTRA_HTML_HEAD = '<link href="https://fosstodon.org/@weblate" rel="me">'

    },
}

GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ID#

Google Analytics ID to turn on monitoring of Weblate using Google Analytics.

HIDE_REPO_CREDENTIALS#

Hide repository credentials from the web interface. In case you have repository URL with user and password, Weblate will hide it when related info is shown to users.

For example instead of https://user:password@git.example.com/repo.git it will show just https://git.example.com/repo.git. It tries to clean up VCS error messages too in a similar manner.

Note

This is turned on by default.

HIDE_VERSION#

New in version 4.3.1.

Hides version information from unauthenticated users. This also makes all documentation links point to latest version instead of the documentation matching currently installed version.

Hiding version is recommended security practice in some corporations, but it doesn’t prevent attacker to figure out version by probing the behavior.

Note

This is turned off by default.

INTERLEDGER_PAYMENT_POINTERS#

New in version 4.12.1.

List of Interledger Payment Pointers (ILPs) for Web Monetization.

If multiple are specified, probabilistic revenue sharing is achieved by selecting one randomly.

Please check <https://webmonetization.org/> for more details.

Hint

The default value lets users fund Weblate itself.

IP_BEHIND_REVERSE_PROXY#

Indicates whether Weblate is running behind a reverse proxy.

If set to True, Weblate gets IP address from a header defined by IP_PROXY_HEADER.

Warning

Ensure you are actually using a reverse proxy and that it sets this header, otherwise users will be able to fake the IP address.

Note

This is not on by default.

IP_PROXY_HEADER#

Indicates which header Weblate should obtain the IP address from when IP_BEHIND_REVERSE_PROXY is turned on.

Defaults to HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR.

IP_PROXY_OFFSET#

Indicates which part of IP_PROXY_HEADER is used as client IP address.

Depending on your setup, this header might consist of several IP addresses, (for example X-Forwarded-For: a, b, client-ip) and you can configure which address from the header is used as client IP address here.

Warning

Setting this affects the security of your installation, you should only configure it to use trusted proxies for determining IP address.

Defaults to 0.

LEGAL_TOS_DATE#

New in version 4.15.

Note

You need Legal installed to make this work.

Date of last update of terms of service documents. Whenever the date changes, users are required to agree with the terms of service.

from datetime import date

LEGAL_TOS_DATE = date(2022, 2, 2)

LEGAL_URL#

New in version 3.5.

URL where your Weblate instance shows its legal documents.

Hint

        "GNU Affero General Public License v3.0",
        "https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0-standalone.html",
    ),
]

LICENSE_FILTER#

Changed in version 4.3: Setting this to blank value now disables license alert.

Filter list of licenses to show. This also disables the license alert when set to empty.

Note

This filter uses the short license names.

For example:

LICENSE_FILTER = {"AGPL-3.0", "GPL-3.0-or-later"}

Following disables the license alert:

LICENSE_FILTER = set()

See also

Translation component alerts

LICENSE_REQUIRED#

Defines whether the license attribute in Component configuration is required.

Note

This is off by default.

LIMIT_TRANSLATION_LENGTH_BY_SOURCE_LENGTH#

Whether the length of a given translation should be limited. The restriction is the length of the source string × 10 characters.

Hint

Set this to False to allow longer translations (up to 10,000 characters) irrespective of source string length.

Note

Defaults to True.

LOCALIZE_CDN_URL and LOCALIZE_CDN_PATH#

These settings configure the JavaScript localization CDN add-on. LOCALIZE_CDN_URL defines root URL where the localization CDN is available and LOCALIZE_CDN_PATH defines path where Weblate should store generated files which will be served at the LOCALIZE_CDN_URL.

Hint

On Hosted Weblate, this uses https://weblate-cdn.com/.

See also

JavaScript localization CDN

REGISTRATION_ALLOW_BACKENDS#

New in version 4.1.

List of authentication backends to allow registration from. This only limits new registrations, users can still authenticate and add authentication using all configured authentication backends.

It is recommended to keep REGISTRATION_OPEN enabled while limiting registration backends, otherwise users will be able to register, but Weblate will not show links to register in the user interface.

Example:

REGISTRATION_ALLOW_BACKENDS = ["azuread-oauth2", "azuread-tenant-oauth2"]

Hint

The backend names match names used in URL for authentication.

See also

REGISTRATION_OPEN, Authentication

REGISTRATION_CAPTCHA#

A value of either True or False indicating whether registration of new accounts is protected by CAPTCHA. This setting is optional, and a default of True will be assumed if it is not supplied.

If turned on, a CAPTCHA is added to all pages where a users enters their e-mail address:

New account registration.
Password recovery.
Adding e-mail to an account.
Contact form for users that are not signed in.

REGISTRATION_EMAIL_MATCH#

Allows you to filter which e-mail addresses can register.

Defaults to .*, which allows any e-mail address to be registered.

You can use it to restrict registration to a single e-mail domain:

REGISTRATION_EMAIL_MATCH = r"^.*@weblate\.org$"

REGISTRATION_OPEN#

Whether registration of new accounts is currently permitted. This optional setting can remain the default True, or changed to False.

This setting affects built-in authentication by e-mail address or through the Python Social Auth (you can whitelist certain back-ends using REGISTRATION_ALLOW_BACKENDS).

Note

If using third-party authentication methods such as LDAP authentication, it just hides the registration form, but new users might still be able to sign in and create accounts.

REGISTRATION_REBIND#

New in version 4.16.

Allow rebinding authentication backends for existing users. Turn this on when migrating between authentication providers.

Note

Disabled by default to not allow adding other authentication backends to existing account. Rebinding can lead to account compromise when using more third-party authentication backends.

REPOSITORY_ALERT_THRESHOLD#

New in version 4.0.2.

Threshold for triggering an alert for outdated repositories, or ones that contain too many changes. Defaults to 25.

See also

Translation component alerts

SENTRY_DSN#

New in version 3.9.

Sentry DSN to use for Collecting error reports.

See also

Django integration for Sentry

SIMPLIFY_LANGUAGES#

Use simple language codes for default language/country combinations. For example an fr_FR translation will use the fr language code. This is usually the desired behavior, as it simplifies listing languages for these default combinations.

Turn this off if you want to different translations for each variant.

SITE_DOMAIN#

Configures site domain. This is necessary to produce correct absolute links in many scopes (for example activation e-mails, notifications or RSS feeds).

In case Weblate is running on non-standard port, include it here as well.

Examples:

# Production site with domain name
SITE_DOMAIN = "weblate.example.com"

# Local development with IP address and port
SITE_DOMAIN = "127.0.0.1:8000"

Note

This setting should only contain the domain name. For configuring protocol, (enabling and enforcing HTTPS) use ENABLE_HTTPS and for changing URL, use URL_PREFIX.

Hint

On a Docker container, the site domain is configured through WEBLATE_ALLOWED_HOSTS.

SITE_TITLE#

Site title to be used for the website and sent e-mails.

SPECIAL_CHARS#

Additional characters to include in the visual keyboard, Visual keyboard.

The default value is:

SPECIAL_CHARS = ("\t", "\n", "\u00a0", "…")

SINGLE_PROJECT#

New in version 3.8.

Redirects users directly to a project or component instead of showing the dashboard. You can either set it to True and in this case it only works in case there is actually only single project in Weblate. Alternatively set the project slug, and it will redirect unconditionally to this project.

Changed in version 3.11: The setting now also accepts a project slug, to force displaying that single project.

Example:

SINGLE_PROJECT = "test"

SSH_EXTRA_ARGS#

New in version 4.9.

Allows to add custom parameters when Weblate is invoking SSH. This is useful when connecting to servers using legacy encryption or other non-standard features.

For example when SSH connection in Weblate fails with Unable to negotiate with legacyhost: no matching key exchange method found. Their offer: diffie-hellman-group1-sha1, you can enable that using:

SSH_EXTRA_ARGS = "-oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1"

Hint

The string is evaluated by shell, so make sure to quote any whitespace and special characters.

See also

OpenSSH Legacy Options

STATUS_URL#

The URL where your Weblate instance reports its status.

SUGGESTION_CLEANUP_DAYS#

New in version 3.2.1.

Automatically deletes suggestions after a given number of days. Defaults to None, meaning no deletions.

Configures when Component seems unused alert is triggered.

Defaults to 365 days, set to 0 to disable it.

UPDATE_LANGUAGES#

New in version 4.3.2.

Controls whether languages database should be updated when running database migration and is enabled by default. This setting has no effect on invocation of setuplang.

Warning

The languages display might become inconsistent with this. Weblate language definitions extend over time and it will not display language code for the defined languages.

See also

Built-in language definitions

URL_PREFIX#

This setting allows you to run Weblate under some path (otherwise it relies on being run from the webserver root).

Note

To use this setting, you also need to configure your server to strip this prefix. For example with WSGI, this can be achieved by setting WSGIScriptAlias.

Hint

The prefix should start with a /.

Example:

URL_PREFIX = "/translations"

Note

This setting does not work with Django’s built-in server, you would have to adjust urls.py to contain this prefix.

VCS_API_DELAY#

New in version 4.15.1.

Configures minimal delay in seconds between third-party API calls in GitHub pull requests, GitLab merge requests, Gitea pull requests, and Pagure merge requests.

This rate-limits API calls from Weblate to these services to avoid overloading them.

If you are being limited by secondary rate limiter at GitHub, increasing this might help.

The default value is 10.

VCS_BACKENDS#

Configuration of available VCS backends.

Note

Weblate tries to use all supported back-ends you have the tools for.

Hint

You can limit choices or add custom VCS back-ends by using this.

VCS_BACKENDS = ("weblate.vcs.git.GitRepository",)

See also

VCS_CLONE_DEPTH#

New in version 3.10.2.

Configures how deep cloning of repositories Weblate should do.

Note

Currently this is only supported in Git. By default Weblate does shallow clones of the repositories to make cloning faster and save disk space. Depending on your usage (for example when using custom Add-ons), you might want to increase the depth or turn off shallow clones completely by setting this to 0.

Hint

In case you get fatal: protocol error: expected old/new/ref, got 'shallow <commit hash>' error when pushing from Weblate, turn off shallow clones completely by setting:

VCS_CLONE_DEPTH = 0

WEBLATE_ADDONS#

List of add-ons available for use. To use them, they have to be enabled for a given translation component. By default this includes all built-in add-ons, when extending the list you will probably want to keep existing ones enabled, for example:

WEBLATE_ADDONS = (
    # Built-in add-ons
    "weblate.addons.gettext.GenerateMoAddon",
    "weblate.addons.gettext.UpdateLinguasAddon",
    "weblate.addons.gettext.UpdateConfigureAddon",
    "weblate.addons.gettext.MsgmergeAddon",
    "weblate.addons.gettext.GettextCustomizeAddon",
    "weblate.addons.gettext.GettextAuthorComments",
    "weblate.addons.cleanup.CleanupAddon",
    "weblate.addons.consistency.LangaugeConsistencyAddon",
    "weblate.addons.discovery.DiscoveryAddon",
    "weblate.addons.flags.SourceEditAddon",
    "weblate.addons.flags.TargetEditAddon",
    "weblate.addons.flags.SameEditAddon",
    "weblate.addons.flags.BulkEditAddon",
    "weblate.addons.generate.GenerateFileAddon",
    "weblate.addons.json.JSONCustomizeAddon",
    "weblate.addons.xml.XMLCustomizeAddon",
    "weblate.addons.properties.PropertiesSortAddon",
    "weblate.addons.git.GitSquashAddon",
    "weblate.addons.removal.RemoveComments",
    "weblate.addons.removal.RemoveSuggestions",
    "weblate.addons.resx.ResxUpdateAddon",
    "weblate.addons.autotranslate.AutoTranslateAddon",
    "weblate.addons.yaml.YAMLCustomizeAddon",
    "weblate.addons.cdn.CDNJSAddon",
    # Add-on you want to include
    "weblate.addons.example.ExampleAddon",
)

Note

Removing the add-on from the list does not uninstall it from the components. Weblate will crash in that case. Please uninstall add-on from all components prior to removing it from this list.
