Any way to persist changes to files only after they have been approved?

[chrisandrewcl]

I am using Weblate for a web project that uses monolingual JSON nestes structure files, and facing an issue with our workflow because unreviwed changes are being committed to our repository.

I would like that changes were persisted to files only after have being approved.

Is there currently any way for Weblate to support this workflow?

I tried enabling the review features, but it doesn't make sense for us, since our JSON files are being updated regardless of it (which, according to the docs, seems to be the intended behavior).

• I've read and searched the docs and did not find the answer there.

To Reproduce the issue

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Translator submits a change to a string
2. The string state will be "needs editing" or "waiting for review"
3. The string will be persisted in the file and eventually committed

Expected behavior

1. Translator submits a change to a string
2. The string state will be "needs editing" or "waiting for review"
3. The string is not persisted until a reviewer changes its state to "approved"
