Translation

Translation takes place on translate.codeberg.org.

Translations which has been added by translators on the translate.codeberg.org UI are committed to Weblate’s counterpart of the SearXNG origin repository which is located at https://translate.codeberg.org/git/searxng/searxng.

There is no need to clone this repository, SearXNG’s PR workflow to be in sync with Weblate take care of the synchronization with the origin. To avoid merging commits from the counterpart directly on the master branch of SearXNG origin, a pull request (PR) is created by this workflow.

Weblate monitors the translations branch, not the master branch. This branch is an orphan branch, decoupled from the master branch (we already know orphan branches from the gh-pages). The translations branch contains only the

  • translation/messages.pot and the

  • translation/*/messages.po files, nothing else.

For each commit on the master branch of SearXNG origin the GitHub job babel / Update translations branch checks for updated translations.

Every Friday, the GitHub workflow babel / create PR for additions from weblate creates a PR with the updated translation files:

  • translation/messages.pot,

  • translation/*/messages.po and

  • translation/*/messages.mo
