# weblate_schemas — A collection of JSON schemas used by Weblate

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 155.5K/mo

## What it is and what it does

weblate_schemas is a collection of JSON schemas that define the structure of data exported by Weblate, a web-based localization platform used by over 2500 projects. It provides machine-readable specifications for validating translation exports, making it useful for tools and workflows that consume Weblate output. The package depends only on jsonschema, keeping installation lightweight.

This is a narrow-purpose library: it doesn't perform translations or manage localization workflows itself, but rather serves as a reference and validation layer for systems that integrate with Weblate's export formats. Developers building importers, converters, or validators for Weblate data would use this to ensure their inputs conform to expected schemas.

Use it for:

- Validate Weblate export files in CI/CD pipelines before processing downstream
- Build import tools that consume Weblate exports and verify format compliance
- Test localization workflows that depend on Weblate export structure
- Programmatically verify translation data integrity in integration systems

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides JSON schemas that validate Weblate export formats, enabling programmatic verification of localization data structure.

Yes, if you work with Weblate exports or build tools that consume them. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive MIT license. Install friction is minimal. If you don't integrate with Weblate, it has no value.

## Install

pip install weblate-schemas
uv add weblate-schemas
poetry add weblate-schemas

## Installing weblate_schemas

Before you install: Low friction installation with a single runtime dependency (jsonschema). Active maintenance with a release 14 days ago; repository is not archived.

License in practice: MIT license permits commercial and private use with minimal restrictions, suitable for both open-source and proprietary projects.

Quickstart:

pip install weblate_schemas

import jsonschema
from weblate_schemas import validate_export

# Use jsonschema to validate Weblate export data against schemas

Requires Python 3.10 or later

Verify before relying:

- Whether schemas cover all current Weblate export formats or only a subset
- Whether the package is intended for end-users or primarily for Weblate developers
