Yes, there is ;-) So the issue I had was that these template files are .txt files and it is hard to signal GNU xgettext to add them to the po files. So, I read a bit more about translation guides and it turns out that msgid in .po files don't really have to be the source string, but only an identifier and by default the identifier is the english version. So, I changed the identifier for only template files to be called the name of the text file. This worked well for the code. They are called "monolingual" po files and Weblate supports them. For helping translators, it will display original source string from a reference .po file, which in our case is the English version. https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/formats.html#bimono This also remind me of a bug in update-pot.sh script, it doesn't add the right source strings in the English .po file. I'll file a bug for it. > > I see that there are other languages templates... so what the > translation should be? The translated string or the template file name > containing the translation? Why not use the {% trans %} in templates? Translation should be the translated string, but the msgid would be the file name not the value. You can look at the English po file for reference. > Ah, now I saw the update-pot.sh!

Or can I simply add my translation in place in > src/mailman/templates/it/ and make a pull request? You can look at the English translation as a reference, same as Weblate. But I can also add the English text as comments in the po file if you feel that is easier for you. It just needs updating the simple update-pot.sh script that you saw already. > Maybe just adding the template string to the po will streamline the > interaction both with weblate and any offline tool while waiting for a > long term solution.
