+title: Localization admin duties
+license: 'CC-BY-SA-4.0'
+---
+
+Localization team members with admin rights on both Forgejo and Weblate
+are expected to make sure the translations land in the Forgejo
+repository and resolve conflicts when they arise.
+
+## Merging translations in Forgejo
+
+Weblate is [configured to propose pull requests](https://translate.codeberg.org/settings/forgejo/forgejo/#vcs)
+to the Forgejo repository with new translations. These pull requests should be **squash merged** into the Forgejo
+development branch as follows:
+
+- go to the [weblate repository admin page](https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/forgejo/forgejo/#repository)
+- click lock
+- click commit
+- click push
+- squash merge the pending pull request ([similar to this example](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/2317))
+- click reset
+- click update (should not be necessary, but just in case)
+- click unlock
