Instalar en macOS

Requisitos de hardware

Weblate should run on any contemporary hardware without problems, the following is the minimal configuration required to run Weblate on a single host (Weblate, database and web server):

  • 3 GB of RAM

  • 2 núcleos de CPU

  • 1 GB de espacio de almacenamiento

Nota

Actual requirements for your installation of Weblate vary heavily based on the size of the translations managed in it.

Consumo de memoria

The more memory the better - it is used for caching on all levels (file system, database and Weblate). For hundreds of translation components, at least 4 GB of RAM is recommended.

Consejo

For systems with less memory than recommended, Single-process Celery setup is recommended.

CPU usage

Many concurrent users increase the amount of needed CPU cores.

Storage usage

The typical database storage usage is around 300 MB per 1 million hosted words.

Storage space needed for cloned repositories varies, but Weblate tries to keep their size minimal by doing shallow clones.

Nodes

For small and medium-sized sites (millions of hosted words), all Weblate components (see Architecture overview) can be run on a single node.

When you grow to hundreds of millions of hosted words, it is recommended to have a dedicated node for database (see Configuración de base de datos para Weblate).

Instalación

Requisitos del sistema

Install the dependencies needed to build the Python modules (see Requisitos de software):

brew install python pango cairo gobject-introspection glib libyaml pkg-config zstd lz4 xxhash libxmlsec1
pip install virtualenv

Optionally install software for running production server, see Running server, Configuración de base de datos para Weblate, Tareas en segundo plano con Celery. Depending on size of your installation you might want to run these components on dedicated servers.

Las instrucciones de instalación local:

# Web server option 1: NGINX and uWSGI
brew install nginx uwsgi

# Web server option 2: Apache with ``mod_wsgi``
brew install httpd

# Caching backend: Redis
brew install redis

# Database server: PostgreSQL
brew install postgresql

# Gettext for the msgmerge add-on
brew install gettext

Módulos de Python

Consejo

We’re using virtualenv to install Weblate in a separate environment from your system. If you are not familiar with it, check virtualenv User Guide.

  1. Cree el entorno virtual para Weblate:

    virtualenv ~/weblate-env
    
  2. Active el entorno virtual para Weblate:

    . ~/weblate-env/bin/activate
    
  3. Instale Weblate incluyendo todas las dependencias opcionales:

    # Install Weblate with all optional dependencies
    pip install "Weblate[all]"
    

    Please check Dependencias de Python for fine-tuning of optional dependencies.

    Nota

    On some Linux distributions running Weblate fails with libffi error:

    ffi_prep_closure(): bad user_data (it seems that the version of the libffi library seen at runtime is different from the 'ffi.h' file seen at compile-time)
    

    This is caused by incompatibility of binary packages distributed via PyPI with the distribution. To address this, you need to rebuild the package on your system:

    pip install --force-reinstall --no-binary :all: cffi
    

Configurar Weblate

Nota

The following assumes the virtualenv used by Weblate is activated (by executing . ~/weblate-env/bin/activate). If not, specify the full path to the weblate command as ~/weblate-env/bin/weblate.

  1. Copy the file ~/weblate-env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/weblate/settings_example.py to ~/weblate-env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/weblate/settings.py.

  2. Adjust the values in the new settings.py file to your liking. You will need to provide at least the database credentials and Django secret key, but you will want more changes for production setup, see Adjusting configuration.

  3. Create the database and its structure for Weblate (the example settings use PostgreSQL, check Configuración de base de datos para Weblate for a production-ready setup):

    weblate migrate
    

    Ver también

    migrate

  4. Create an administrator user account admin, generate its password, and copy it to the clipboard; remember to save it for later use:

    weblate createadmin
    

    Consejo

    If you previously missed/lost the admin password, you can generate a new one with the following command:

    weblate createadmin --update
    

    Ver también

    createadmin

  5. Collect the static files for your web server (see Running server and Serving static files):

    weblate collectstatic
    
  6. Compress the JavaScript and CSS files (optional, see Compressing client assets):

    weblate compress
    
  7. Start the Celery workers. This is not necessary for development purposes, but strongly recommended otherwise. Tareas en segundo plano con Celery has more info:

    ~/weblate-env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/weblate/examples/celery start
    
  8. Start the development server (Running server details a production setup):

    weblate runserver
    

After installation

Congratulations, your Weblate server is now running and you can start using it.

  • You can now access Weblate on http://localhost:8000/.

  • Sign in with admin credentials obtained during installation or register with new users.

  • You can now run Weblate commands using weblate command when Weblate virtualenv is active, see Órdenes de gestión.

  • You can stop the test server with Ctrl+C.

  • Review potential issues with your installation either on /manage/performance/ URL (see Reporte de rendimiento) or using weblate check --deploy, see Puesta en marcha de entorno de producción.

Adding translation

  1. Open the admin interface (http://localhost:8000/create/project/) and create the project you want to translate. See Configuración de proyectos for more details.

    All you need to specify here is the project name and its website.

  2. Create a component which is the real object for translation - it points to the VCS repository, and selects which files to translate. See Configuración de componentes for more details.

    The important fields here are: Nombre de componente, Repositorio de código fuente, and Máscara de archivos for finding translatable files. Weblate supports a wide range of formats including GNU gettext PO (Portable Object), Recursos de cadenas de Android, Cadenas de iOS de Apple, Propiedades de Java, Formato Stringsdict or Formato fluido, see Formatos de archivo admitidos for more details.

  3. Once the above is completed (it can be lengthy process depending on the size of your VCS repository, and number of messages to translate), you can start translating.
