 Translating:
 ------------
 
-The scrip `update-translations.sh` can be used to update the language template and translation files from source.
+Translations are managed in [Weblate](https://weblate.danwin1210.de/projects/DanWin/onion-link-list).
+If you prefer manually submitting translations, the script `update-translations.sh` can be used to update the language template and translation files from source.
 It will generate the file `locale/onion-link-list.pot` which you can then use as basis to create a new language file in `YOUR_LANG_CODE/LC_MESSAGES/onion-link-list.po` and edit it with a translation program, such as [Poedit](https://poedit.net/).
 Once you are done, you can open a pull request, or [email me](mailto:daniel@danwin1210.de), to include the translation.
