100% automatic (hosted) Weblate integration

For a silent and fully automated hosted.weblate.org integration, I recommend the following:

add the Weblate Webhook to this GitLab repository [1]
enable the push on commit option for the hyperkitty translation project on Weblate

With these settings, translation updates trickle in whenever a weblate translator has finished a work portion there. The other way around, the Weblate project stays up-to-date continuously.

Whenever you commit+push changes on translatable text, you should update the translation files (running update-po.sh) and push the new translation strings to Weblate:

lock translation project on Weblate
make sure all translation changes have been pushed from Weblate to GitLab
run update-po.sh
commit + push updated po files
unlock the weblate project

The Weblate related steps could of course be integrated into the update-po.sh script. Let me know, if you want me to do that.

(For proper testing, I'd need some more access to the Weblate project, I guess). (On Weblate, my nick/account also is "sunweaver"). If you want to know a bit more about me, please visit the following URLs: [3], [4].
