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.

Please also check Django's documentation <django:ref/settings> for parameters configuring Django itself.

AKISMET_API_KEY

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"}

languages

BORG_EXTRA_ARGS

BORG_EXTRA_ARGS

4.9

All built-in 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.

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

HIDE_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

IP_BEHIND_REVERSE_PROXY

2.14

Indicates whether Weblate is running behind a reverse proxy.

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

LOCALIZE_CDN_PATH

LOCALIZE_CDN_URL and LOCALIZE_CDN_PATH

These settings configure the addon-weblate.cdn.cdnjs 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.

MT_DEEPL_API_URL

MT_DEEPL_API_URL

4.7

The full API URL is now configured to allow using the free plan. Before, it was only possible to configure the API version using MT_DEEPL_API_VERSION.

API URL to use with the DeepL service. At the time of writing, there is the v1 API as well as a free and a paid version of the v2 API.

https://api.deepl.com/v2/ (default in Weblate)

Is meant for API usage on the paid plan, and the subscription is usage-based.

https://api-free.deepl.com/v2/

Is meant for API usage on the free plan, and the subscription is usage-based.

https://api.deepl.com/v1/

Is meant for CAT tools and is usable with a per-user subscription.

Previously Weblate was classified as a CAT tool by DeepL, so it was supposed to use the v1 API, but now is supposed to use the v2 API. Therefore it defaults to v2, and you can change it to v1 in case you have an existing CAT subscription and want Weblate to use that.

The easiest way to find out which one to use is to open an URL like the following in your browser:

https://api.deepl.com/v2/translate?text=Hello&target_lang=FR&auth_key=XXX

Replace the XXX with your auth_key. If you receive a JSON object which contains "Bonjour", you have the correct URL; if not, try the other three.

RATELIMIT_ATTEMPTS

RATELIMIT_ATTEMPTS

3.2

Defaults to 5.

rate-limit, RATELIMIT_WINDOW, RATELIMIT_LOCKOUT

RATELIMIT_WINDOW

An amount of seconds defaulting to 600 (10 minutes).

rate-limit, RATELIMIT_ATTEMPTS, RATELIMIT_WINDOW

REGISTRATION_ALLOW_BACKENDS

REGISTRATION_ALLOW_BACKENDS

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_OPEN, auth

REGISTRATION_CAPTCHA

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

REGISTRATION_EMAIL_MATCH

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

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-auth, it just hides the registration form, but new users might still be able to sign in and create accounts.

REGISTRATION_ALLOW_BACKENDS, REGISTRATION_EMAIL_MATCH, auth

REPOSITORY_ALERT_THRESHOLD

REPOSITORY_ALERT_THRESHOLD

4.0.2

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

alerts

REQUIRE_LOGIN

REQUIRE_LOGIN

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

SENTRY_DSN

3.9

Sentry DSN to use for collecting-errors.

SESSION_COOKIE_AGE_AUTHENTICATED

4.3

Set session expiry for authenticated users. This complements django:SESSION_COOKIE_AGE which is used for unauthenticated users.

django:SESSION_COOKIE_AGE

SIMPLIFY_LANGUAGES

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

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.

production-site, production-hosts, production-ssl WEBLATE_SITE_DOMAIN, ENABLE_HTTPS

SITE_TITLE

SITE_TITLE

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

SPECIAL_CHARS

SPECIAL_CHARS

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

The default value is:

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

SINGLE_PROJECT

SINGLE_PROJECT

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.

3.11

The setting now also accepts a project slug, to force displaying that single project.

Example:

SINGLE_PROJECT = "test"

SSH_EXTRA_ARGS

SSH_EXTRA_ARGS

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.

STATUS_URL

STATUS_URL

The URL where your Weblate instance reports its status.

SUGGESTION_CLEANUP_DAYS

SUGGESTION_CLEANUP_DAYS

3.2.1

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

UPDATE_LANGUAGES

UPDATE_LANGUAGES

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.

included-languages

URL_PREFIX

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

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

VCS_CLONE_DEPTH

VCS_CLONE_DEPTH

3.10.2

Configures how deep cloning of repositories Weblate should do.

Note

Currently this is only supported in vcs-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

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.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.

Identity used by Weblate to sign Git commits, for example:

WEBLATE_GPG_IDENTITY = "Weblate <weblate@example.com>"

The Weblate GPG keyring is searched for a matching key (home/.gnupg under DATA_DIR). If not found, a key is generated, please check gpg-sign for more details.

gpg-sign

WEBSITE_REQUIRED

WEBSITE_REQUIRED

Defines whether project-web has to be specified when creating a project. Turned on by default as that suits public server setups.
