This is a simple documentation for Codeberg Translate. I think it can be improved in some points (especially the wording), but it should be a good start.

This article will teach how, how to manually configure a Weblate component, in case, it's not working automatically. You will not need this in most cases.
What is monolingual and bilingual?
Weblate differs into 2 translation formats: monolingual and bilingual.
Bilingual
Bilingual means, that the source text live inside the code. See for example the following example from gettext:
printf(_("This is some text"))
That means you have language file for the source text. Rather, the source text is in all translation files itself as reference.
Monolingual
With Monolingual, you have a extra translation file for your source language.
Where can I find these Options:
When creating a new Component, you will land on a Page where you can enter them. For existing Components, go to the Component Manage>Settings>Files.
Configuration options
You have the following options to configure the component:
File format: Choose one of the available formats
File mask: This is the path, in which your translations will be placed * is the placeholder for the language. e.g. if you enter translations/*.ts, a German translation would be placed as translations/de.ts.
Monolingual base language file: If you have a Monolingual format, enter the path to your source file here. If not, leave empty.
Edit base file: If you enable this, the source file can be edited in Weblate. If not ticked, it is read only in Weblate. Only available for monolingual formats.
Adding new translation: You can choose, what happens, if a User wan's to add a new language. The Options should be self-explanatory.
Template for new translations: If you choose "Create new language file" in the Box above, this file will be used as a template.
