Some times ago, I started using Weblate to manage translations in some of my Symfony and Python projects.

I’ve come across a little limitation explained in only one paragraph in the documentation.

What I want to do

I want to be able to create a new translation component without linking it to a VCS repository.

Is that possible?

Yes it’s possible. I just forget how I did it the first time.

How to proceed?

1. Weblate documentation

In the documentation, I found the following paragraph which answer my question:

Option “Upload translations files” visible

Link: https://docs.weblate.org/en/weblate-4.11.2/admin/projects.html#adding-translation-projects-and-components

2. Other ways

There is two ways to create a new translation component without vcs repository.

Click on Add new translation component and you will see these options:

Options to choose to create component without vcs repository

Choose the one which matches the most your need.
