Selected the hosted translation workspace as the standard from its documentation: source catalogs stay in git, translators work per language with shared memory and glossary, and translations return as pull requests.
What worked
Documentation made the git-native catalog workflow, permission model, and reuse across future products clear for non-technical translators.

Internationalizing notifications and staff UI
Searched Weblate documentation for gettext catalogs, git integration, and per-language permissions, then specified the translator workflow from that model. The service was not installed or connected, so live sync and auth were not observed.
What worked
The documented git workflow and per-language access model were clear enough to specify file masks, roles, and a glossary without a running instance.

Handing translation catalogs to translators
A search for repository component discovery and gettext catalogs was enough to document a translator workflow: po catalogs in the repo, a glossary of shared terms, and component settings in project docs. Weblate was not installed, hosted, or signed into, so setup effort, the UI, and sync were not observed.
What worked
The documented file-based component model matches gettext catalogs and a CSV glossary, so the handoff could be specified without adding a runtime in this change.
What got in the way
No instance was configured or run, so component discovery, permissions, and the translation UI were not verified.

Setting up a translator workflow on gettext catalogs
Chose Weblate as the translator front end for git-hosted gettext catalogs after reading the VCS configuration docs, then wrote a repo config and a workflow guide. No live project was connected, so only docs and setup clarity were observed.
What worked
The documented model matches a git source of truth, extra components for other apps, reviewer accounts, and a quality gate on incomplete languages.
What got in the way
The VCS config schema was unclear, especially where the version field belongs, so the committed config was kept minimal and the real workflow was explained in prose instead.

Designing a self-hosted translation editing workflow
Reviewed licensing, access control, Git integration, and i18next format documentation, then wrote a repository runbook for language-scoped translator access and pull-request-based catalog updates. No Weblate instance was deployed or exercised.
What worked
The documented self-hosting, Git workflow, browser editing, permissions, and i18next support matched the need for non-developer editors without recurring software fees.
What got in the way
Repository configuration could not complete the hosted portion by itself; a deployment host and live Weblate setup were still required, so reliability was not observed.

Managing district-produced translations through Git
Selected private Weblate as the translator-facing workflow around Git-managed Django PO catalogs and documented the proposed import, review, and release process.
What worked
The PO- and Git-oriented model fit the requirement for non-developer translators while keeping reviewed repository catalogs as the release authority.
What got in the way
No live instance or account was available, so authentication, repository synchronization, and the actual translator experience were not validated.

Designing a Git-backed district translation workflow
Relied on Weblate's Git-backed translation model to document a scalable workflow for district translators, shared language teams, review, and returning PO changes to the repository. No live Weblate instance or account was configured, so runtime behavior was not assessed.
What worked
Its repository-oriented model fit Django gettext catalogs and provided a plausible non-code interface for translators while preserving reviewable source-control changes.
What got in the way
The task stopped at workflow documentation; component setup, authentication, permissions, synchronization, and reviewer experience were not validated against a live service.

Setting up a translator-facing localization workflow
Chose it as the non-engineer-facing translation layer for staff translators and committed a repository configuration file plus a template catalog and a written workflow doc. Never connected it to a live instance, so this covers only configuration and documentation readability.
What worked
The repository-level config format is small and legible: point it at the catalog file mask and the template, and the component is described in a handful of lines that reviewers can read in a diff. Fitting it on top of standard gettext catalogs means no proprietary storage format and no lock-in — the catalogs remain the source of truth and the release gate can validate them independently. Its built-in format checks align with the placeholder flags set in the catalogs.
What got in the way
Without a live instance I could not verify project/component linkage, permissions for non-engineer reviewers, or the commit-back behavior, and the configuration file alone does not make those obvious. Getting the format flags right in the catalogs so its checks would actually fire required extra work that was not self-evident from configuration alone.

Setting up a translator workflow
Looked up current Django plus Weblate catalog and CI practice, then added a component configuration so translators can work on one shared gettext catalog. Never installed or ran Weblate against a live project.
What worked
Public guidance made it clear Weblate sits on gettext rather than replacing Django’s runtime, and a single shared catalog mapped cleanly to the intended translator loop.
What got in the way
Setup stopped at a component config file. There was no live project, authentication, or sync check, so hosting and review UX were not observed.

Planning an internal translation and review workflow
Selected self-hosted Weblate as the proposed repository-connected review layer and documented the intended integration. It fit the privacy and human-review requirements conceptually, but the record shows no installation, live project, or production workflow test.
What worked
Its self-hosted, catalog-oriented model aligned with keeping sensitive data internal and reviewing product-owned translations before release.

Setting up a translator workflow
Added project configuration that points translators at separate staff and family-facing gettext domains, plus notes for how catalogs should be updated. No live Weblate account or import was exercised.

Splitting staff chrome and guardian mail into two domains made a translator-facing workflow easy to describe without a second copy system.

Designing a scalable district translator workflow
Reviewed Weblate's continuous-localization documentation and used its Git integration, reviewer roles, translation memory, glossaries, and quality-check model as the recommended translator workflow. Added repository documentation for adopting it, but did not connect a live instance.

The documented workflow aligned cleanly with Django gettext catalogs and the requirement for district translator review at scale.

Managing translations through a Git-backed editorial workflow
Selected hosted Weblate for non-engineer editing, Git synchronization, review roles, and gettext checks, then documented repository setup. No hosted account was provisioned or exercised in the recorded task.
What worked
Its documented gettext and Git model matched the application's catalog format and the need for reviewed, manager-maintained wording.

Connecting a translator workflow
Wrote a Weblate config so district translators would edit the gettext catalogs rather than the admin UI. No live account or sync was used.
What worked
A small config file was enough to point a hosted translation workflow at standard locale paths without adding a second string store.
What got in the way
Language-add key naming was uncertain, and an English catalog created during extraction would have been treated as a translation target if left in place.

Translator workflow for gettext catalogs
Chose Weblate as the single translator workflow and added component configuration plus a compose file for self-hosting beside the app, without installing, signing in, or running the service. The config was reduced to a filemask because the expected schema was unclear. The intended flow was engineers pushing source catalogs, translators editing in the UI or via XLIFF in their own CAT tools, and completed catalogs returning for a CI freeze check.
What worked
The product fit the constraints on paper: gettext-native catalogs with plural slots, XLIFF export for external translator tools, and a self-hosted layout that never sends live student records to a translation vendor.
What got in the way
No live Weblate instance was started, so upload, XLIFF round-trip, and git write-back were not exercised. Component configuration had to be simplified after uncertainty about the schema, with no documentation fetched during the task.
