Weblate

Open-source localization platform connected directly to your code repository

About Weblate

Weblate is an open-source continuous localization platform that connects to version-control repositories so software translations flow alongside development. Translators get context and quality checks, projects can add machine translation or AI assistance, and teams choose hosted cloud plans, gratis hosting for libre projects, or self-hosting for full control. It suits open-source communities and commercial software teams shipping products in many languages.
