Weblate is an open source web-based translation tool with version control. It includes several hundred languages with basic definitions, and enables the addition of more language definitions, all definitions can be edited by the web community or a defined set of people, as well as through integrating machine translation, such as DeepL, Amazon Translate, or Google Translate.[4]

Stated goals
editWeblate aims to facilitate web based translation with tight Git integration for a wide range of file formats, helping translators contribute without knowledge of Git workflow.
Translations closely follow development, as they are hosted within the same repository as the source code. There is no plan for heavy conflict resolution, as it is argued these should primarily be handled on the Git side. [5]
