Translation takes place on weblate.bubu1.eu_.

Translations which has been added by translators on the weblate.bubu1.eu_ UI are
committed to Weblate's counterpart of the SearXNG *origin* repository which is
located at ``https://weblate.bubu1.eu/git/searxng/searxng``.

There is no need to clone this repository, :ref:`SearXNG Weblate workflow` 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.


.. _SearXNG Weblate workflow:

.. figure:: translation.svg

   SearXNG's PR workflow to be in sync with Weblate

Sync from *origin* to *weblate*: using ``make weblate.push.translations``
  For each commit on the ``master`` branch of SearXNG *origin* the GitHub job
  :origin:`babel / Update translations branch
  <.github/workflows/integration.yml>` checks for updated translations.

Sync from *weblate* to *origin*: using ``make weblate.translations.commit``
  Every Friday, the GitHub workflow :origin:`babel / create PR for additons from
  weblate <.github/workflows/translations-update.yml>` creates a PR with the
  updated translation files:

  - ``translation/messages.pot``,
  - ``translation/*/messages.po`` and
  - ``translation/*/messages.mo``
