<p>Translations which has been added by translators on the <a class="reference external" href="https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/searxng/">translate.codeberg.org</a> UI are
committed to Weblate’s counterpart of the SearXNG <em>origin</em> repository which is

care of the synchronization with the <em>origin</em>. To avoid merging commits from
the counterpart directly on the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">master</span></code> branch of <em>SearXNG origin</em>, a <em>pull

<p>Weblate monitors the <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/searxng/searxng/tree/translations">translations branch</a>, not the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">master</span></code> branch. This
