# wllegal — Hosted Weblate legal stuff

License: copyleft · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 87.3K/mo

## What it is and what it does

wllegal is a Django application that bundles legal document templates and compliance infrastructure used by Weblate's hosted services. It integrates into a Weblate instance via Django's INSTALLED_APPS and overrides default templates to inject service-specific terms, privacy policies, and other legal content. The module is not a general-purpose legal framework—it is explicitly designed as a reference implementation for Weblate operators who need to customize their own legal pages, and its documents are tailored to Weblate s.r.o.'s specific services.

The package depends on Django and weblate-language-data, making it suitable only for deployments already running Weblate. It is maintained actively and supports modern Python versions, but its primary audience is system administrators and developers deploying or customizing hosted Weblate instances.

Use it for:

- Customize legal pages on a self-hosted Weblate instance by using wllegal templates as a starting point.
- Reference implementation for understanding how to override Weblate's default legal document templates in a Django app.
- Ensure compliance infrastructure is in place when deploying Weblate as a hosted service.
- Adapt legal templates to regional requirements by extending wllegal's module structure.

## Worth the install?

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

A Django module providing legal document templates and compliance infrastructure for Weblate-based localization services.

Yes, if you are deploying or customizing a self-hosted Weblate instance and need a reference implementation for legal document templates. No, if you are using Weblate as an end user or do not need to customize legal pages. The copyleft license is standard for Weblate ecosystem packages and poses no barrier for open-source deployments, but requires source disclosure if you modify and redistribute.

## Install

pip install wllegal
uv add wllegal
poetry add wllegal

## Installing wllegal

Before you install: Low friction install with a wheel distribution. Active maintenance—last commit 2026-08-14, released 2026-08-06—and supports current Python versions (3.11 through 3.14).

License in practice: Licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later (copyleft). Any modifications or derivative works must also be released under a compatible open-source license; redistribution requires source code availability.

Quickstart:

pip install wllegal

Then in your Django settings, add to INSTALLED_APPS before other Weblate modules:

INSTALLED_APPS.insert(0, "wllegal")

Requires Django and weblate-language-data as runtime dependencies; Python 3.11 or later.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the legal templates are suitable for jurisdictions outside Weblate s.r.o. service regions.
- What customization hooks or extension points the module provides beyond template override.
