Note
Running management commands under different user than is running your webserver can cause wrong permissions on some files, please check file-permissions
for more details.
The ./manage.py is extended with following commands:
changesite
2.4
You can use this to changes site name from command line with --set-name
parameter. The --get-name
prints currently configured site name.
production-site
checkgit
Prints current state of backend git repository.
You can either define which project or component to update (eg. weblate/master
) or use --all
to update all existing components.
commitgit
Commits any possible pending changes to backend git repository.
You can either define which project or component to update (eg. weblate/master
) or use --all
to update all existing components.
commit_pending
Commits pending changes older than given age (using --age
parameter, defaults to 24 hours).
You can either define which project or component to update (eg. weblate/master
) or use --all
to update all existing components.
This is most useful if executed periodically from cron or similar tool:
./manage.py commit_pending --all --age=48
production-cron
cleanuptrans
Cleanups orphaned checks and translation suggestions.
production-cron
createadmin
Creates admin
account with random password. You can specify --password
to provide password on the command line.
dumpuserdata
Dumps userdata to file for later use by importuserdata
This is useful when migrating of merging Weblate instances.
import_project
Batch imports components into project based on file mask.
<project> names an existing project, into which the components should be imported.
The <gitrepo> defines URL of Git repository to use, and <branch> the git branch. To import additional translation components, from an existing Weblate component, use a weblate://<project>/<component> URL for the <gitrepo>.
The repository is searched for directories matching a double wildcard (**) in the <filemask>. Each of these is then added as a component, named after the matched directory. Existing components will be skipped.
To customise the component's name, use the --name-template
option. Its parameter is a python formatting string, which will expect the match from <filemask>.
By format string passed by the --base-file-template
option you can customize base file for monolingual translations.
You can also specify file format to use (see formats
) by the --file-format
parameter. The default is autodetection.
In case you need to specify version control system to use, you can do this using --vcs
parameter. The default version control is Git.
You can override parsing of component name from matched files by --component-regexp
. This is a regular expression which will be matched against file name (as matched by <filemask>) and has to contain named group name. This can be also used for excluding files in case they do not match this expression. For example: .*/(?P<name>[^-]*)\.po
To give you some examples, let's try importing two projects.
As first we import The Debian Handbook translations, where each language has separate folder with translations of each chapter:
./manage.py import_project \
debian-handbook \
git://anonscm.debian.org/debian-handbook/debian-handbook.git \
squeeze/master \
'*/**.po'
Another example can be Tanaguru tool, where we need to specify file format, base file template and has all components and translations located in single folder:
./manage.py import_project \
--file-format=properties \
--base-file-template=web-app/tgol-web-app/src/main/resources/i18n/%s-I18N.properties \
tanaguru \
https://github.com/Tanaguru/Tanaguru \
master \
web-app/tgol-web-app/src/main/resources/i18n/**-I18N_*.properties
Example of more complex parsing of filenames to get correct component and language out of file name like src/security/Numerous_security_holes_in_0.10.1.de.po
:
./manage.py import_project \
--component-regexp 'wiki/src/security/(?P<name>.*)\.([^.]*)\.po$' \
tails \
git://git.tails.boum.org/tails master \
'wiki/src/security/**.*.po'
importuserdata
Imports userdata from file created by dumpuserdata
importusers
Imports users from JSON dump of Django auth_users database.
With --check
it will just check whether given file can be imported and report possible conflicts on usernames or emails.
You can dump users from existing Django installation using:
./manage.py dumpdata auth.User > users.json
list_ignored_checks
Lists most frequently ignored checks. This can be useful for tuning your setup, if users have to ignore too many of consistency checks.
list_versions
Lists versions of Weblate dependencies.
loadpo
Reloads translations from disk (eg. in case you did some updates in VCS repository).
You can use --force
to force update even if the files should be up to date. Additionally you can limit languages to process with --lang
.
You can either define which project or component to update (eg. weblate/master
) or use --all
to update all existing components.
lock_translation
Locks given component for translating. This is useful in case you want to do some maintenance on underlaying repository.
You can either define which project or component to update (eg. weblate/master
) or use --all
to update all existing components.
unlock_translation
pushgit
Pushes committed changes to upstream VCS repository. With --force-commit
it also commits any pending changes.
You can either define which project or component to update (eg. weblate/master
) or use --all
to update all existing components.
rebuild_index
Rebuilds index for fulltext search. This might be lengthy operation if you have huge set of translation units.
You can use --clean
to remove all words from database prior updating.
With --optimize
the index will not be processed again, only it's content will be optimized (removing stale entries and merging possibly split index files).
fulltext
update_index
Updates index for fulltext search when OFFLOAD_INDEXING
is enabled.
It is recommended to run this frequently (eg. every 5 minutes) to have index uptodate.
fulltext
, production-cron
, production-indexing
unlock_translation
Unnocks given component for translating. This is useful in case you want to do some maintenance on underlaying repository.
You can either define which project or component to update (eg. weblate/master
) or use --all
to update all existing components.
lock_translation
setupgroups
Configures default groups and (if called with --move
) assigns all users to default group.
The option --no-privs-update
disables update of existing groups (only adds new ones).
privileges
setuplang
Setups list of languages (it has own list and all defined in translate-toolkit).
The option --no-update
disables update of existing languages (only adds new ones).
updatechecks
Updates all check for all units. This could be useful only on upgrades which do major changes to checks.
You can either define which project or component to update (eg. weblate/master
) or use --all
to update all existing components.
updategit
Fetches remote VCS repositories and updates internal cache.
You can either define which project or component to update (eg. weblate/master
) or use --all
to update all existing components.
