FILES

Per project configuration file

˜/.config/weblate

User configuration file

/etc/xdg/weblate

Global configration file

The program follows XDG specification, so you can adjust placement of config files by environment variables XDG_CONFIG_HOME or XDG_CONFIG_DIRS.

Following settings can be configured in the [weblate] section (you can customize this by --config-section):

	key		API KEY to access Weblate.
	url		API server URL, defaults to http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/.

translation

Path of default translation, component or project.

The configuration file is INI file, for example:

[weblate]
url = https://hosted.weblate.org/api/
key = APIKEY
translation = weblate/master

Additionally API keys can be stored in the [keys] section:

[keys]
https://hosted.weblate.org/api/ = APIKEY

This allows you to store keys in your personal settings, while having .weblate configuration in the VCS repository so that wlc knows to which server it should talk.

EXAMPLES

Print current program version:

$ wlc version
version: 0.1

List all projects:

$ wlc list-projects
name: Hello
slug: hello
source_language: en
url: http://example.com/api/projects/hello/
web: http://weblate.org/
web_url: http://example.com/projects/hello/

You can also let wlc know current project and it will then operate on it:

$ cat .weblate
[weblate]
url = https://hosted.weblate.org/api/
translation = weblate/master

$ wlc show
branch: master
file_format: po
filemask: weblate/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/django.po
git_export: git://git.weblate.org/weblate.git
license: GPL-3.0+
license_url: https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-3.0+
name: master
new_base: weblate/locale/django.pot
project: weblate
repo: git://github.com/nijel/weblate.git
slug: master
template:
url: https://hosted.weblate.org/api/components/weblate/master/
vcs: git
web_url: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/weblate/master/

With such setup it is easy to commit pending changes in current project:

$ wlc commit
