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.

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.

    "weblate.trans.autofixes.chars.ReplaceTrailingDotsWithEllipsis",
)

BASE_DIR

Base directory where Weblate sources are located. Used to derive several other paths by default:

Default value: Top level directory of Weblate sources.

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"}

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.

Default location for static Django files, specified by STATIC_ROOT.

media

Default location for Django media files, specified by MEDIA_ROOT.

vcs

Version control repositories.

backups

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

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 $BASE_DIR/data.

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"

  • "none"

        "auto_source": "mt",
        "component": "",
        "engines": ["weblate-translation-memory"],
        "threshold": "80",
    },
}

DEFAULT_COMMITER_EMAIL

ENABLE_HOOKS

Whether to enable anonymous remote 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.

ENABLE_SHARING

Turn on/off the Share menu so users can share translation progress on social networks.

GITLAB_CREDENTIALS

GITHUB_CREDENTIALS = {
    "api.github.com": {
        "username": "weblate",
        "token": "your-api-token",
    },
    "github.example.com": {
        "username": "weblate",
        "token": "another-api-token",
    },
}

New in version 4.3.

GitHub personal access token used to make API calls to send pull requests for translation updates.

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.

IP_BEHIND_REVERSE_PROXY

New in version 2.14.

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

New in version 2.14.

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

New in version 2.14.

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.

LICENSE_EXTRA

Additional licenses to include in the license choices.

Note

Each license definition should be tuple of its short name, a long name and an URL.

For example:

LICENSE_EXTRA = [
    (
        "AGPL-3.0",
        "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()

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 addon. 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/.

LOGIN_REQUIRED_URLS

A list of URLs you want to require logging into. (Besides the standard rules built into Weblate).

Hint

This allows you to password protect a whole installation using:

LOGIN_REQUIRED_URLS = (r"/(.*)$",)
REST_FRAMEWORK["DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES"] = [
    "rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated"
]

Hint

It is desirable to lock down API access as well, as shown in the above example.

See also

REQUIRE_LOGIN

LOGIN_REQUIRED_URLS_EXCEPTIONS

List of exceptions for LOGIN_REQUIRED_URLS. If not specified, users are allowed to access the sign in page.

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.

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

New in version 2.17.

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.

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.

REQUIRE_LOGIN

New in version 4.1.

This enables LOGIN_REQUIRED_URLS and configures REST framework to require authentication for all API endpoints.

Note

This is implemented in the Sample configuration. For Docker, use WEBLATE_REQUIRE_LOGIN.

SENTRY_DSN

New in version 3.9.

Sentry DSN to use for Collecting error reports.

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", "…")

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"

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.

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.

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_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",)

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

WEBLATE_ADDONS = (
    # Built-in addons
    "weblate.addons.gettext.GenerateMoAddon",
    "weblate.addons.gettext.UpdateLinguasAddon",
    "weblate.addons.gettext.UpdateConfigureAddon",
    "weblate.addons.gettext.MsgmergeAddon",
