Weblate should work pretty much fine on Windows. It would be great to have this covered by tests. There are currently tests running on AppVeyor, but there are some test failures which should be addressed. These might be both problems with AppVeyor setup or code issue. Best way to figure out is probably to reproduce the issues in local Windows build.

Besides others, there is some problem with parsing po files:

weblate.formats.ParseError: Invalid file format <translate.storage.pypo.pofile object at 0x081AC110>

See https://ci.appveyor.com/project/nijel/weblate for current build status.

Hi @nijel

It seems that windows cannot handle symbolic link, which in this case is xx.po. I am in the middle of solving another issue, which depends on this.
Do you have any idea, how to resolve it?

We might just skip this particular test, it doesn't make sense to test behavior the platform does not support.

One important thing to note here is that Celery no longer officially supports Windows, see https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/stable/faq.html#windows. We should probably make similar statement.

I don't see enough interest in making Weblate work on Windows. Patches for it are always welcome, but I'm not going to invest any time into that besides reviewing pull requests. This is properly documented since 399dd5c.
