Not sure what you mean with "out of your control" - if you want to see whether a string is translatable or not, it is easiest to do so with the key-ID language (qtz) - that adds a short hash to all strings, and you could also search for those hashes in weblate. > If there is weblate documentation to support my goals, that would be great. That's not really related to weblate, but we're using a separate repository on github where weblate can submit frequently, and another one on our gerrit instance that is used for the actual build. Before copying the files from the weblate repo to our translations repo, the files go through some sanity checks/enforced checks (using pocheck from the core repository), and for example also obsolete strings (those flagged with #~ in the po files) are removed and everything is also run through msguniq to make sure there's no "noise" in the files due to different line-breaks for example. So if you want to build with the latest weblate files, then you need to pull from http://github.com/LibreOffice/translations-weblate and copy those to the translations submodule of your checkout Alternatively you could also download the files using weblate's UI, but then you'd have to do that for the UI and Help projects separately, and then also have to unzip the files, but of course that's also an option, and certainly easier if you already know you only need a specific file and not all of them. Weblate is also configured to push after 24h and squash (combine) changes done within that timeframe into a single one, however how exactly that squashing works did change in recent versions, so now the github repo gets more individual commits.
