Open-source continuous localization and translation management platform

Weblate 2026.11.2 speeds up stats and moves minor security issues into the open.

localizationworkspacesaccount-securityaccess-controlself-hosted
◆Current state
Weblate ships a monthly feature release and point releases after it. 2026.11 made built-in roles editable and widened Workspaces, and 2026.11.1 added account security findings with leaked-password checks. 2026.11.2 on November 12 adds a setting for default workspace translation-memory use, faster category statistics and translation propagation, and changes the security policy so low and medium issues are handled in public on GitHub.
◆Where it's heading
Recent releases have pushed Weblate toward large hosted and enterprise installs: workspaces, identity-provider team sync, editable roles and now admin security tooling. Performance work targets installations with many users and projects.
◆Prediction
2026.12 is likely to extend Workspaces and Automation further, with a point release about a week later.

    Weblate 2026.11.2 adds default workspace memory, faster stats

    A point release mostly about speed and scale: faster category statistics and translation propagation, plus a setting that decides how projects use workspace translation memory by default. It also moves low and medium security issues to public handling on GitHub, after 2026.11.1's batch of private fixes.

    Weblate 2026.11.1

    A point release heavier than usual: admins get account security findings with leaked-password checks and bulk resets, plus several access-control fixes. It fits the run toward tooling for large, administered installations.

    Weblate 2026.11

    2026.11 is broad rather than new in kind: editable built-in roles, a Languages tab and translation sharing in Workspaces, visual and YAML Automation editors, and an optional OIDC provider. It builds on the workspace and Automation work from 2026.10.

    Weblate 2026.10.1 syncs teams from identity providers

    An opt-in sync now maps identity-provider groups, including GitLab groups, onto Weblate teams and can restrict login by group. It adds the membership layer to the workspace hierarchy, so permissions follow the org directory instead of manual admin work. Push-on-update and default notification settings round out the admin tooling.

    Weblate 2026.10 adds Automation add-on and AI quality scoring

    This is the release where the workspace hierarchy built since June starts carrying rules: enforced checks and language-creation policies now cascade from workspace down to component. Paired with the Automation add-on and AI quality evaluation, it moves Weblate from storing translations to governing how they get produced.

    Weblate 2026.9.1: notification diagnostics and editor search refresh

    A maintenance point release that adds per-user notification diagnostics and better search recovery in the editor. It fits the ongoing pattern of making a growing permission and subscription model explainable to admins.
