Weblate https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/admin/continuous.html#push-changes indicate that GitHub pull requests are supported, but https://docs.codeberg.org/codeberg-translate/getting-started/ only mentions Gitea as an option for pull requests.

Is there a way to automate translations via pull requests from Codeberg Translate to GitHub?

This documentation page assumes your repository is also on Codeberg. If you're using a Github repository, it should give you the option to use Github pull requests.

There is no such option under VCS. Are there some prerequisites that need to be done to enable it?

Ah sorry, I just checked but Github isn't supported on translate.codeberg.org, it's only available for projects on Codeberg.org

I see. Could you share the rationale behind the artificial limitation, since Weblate supports it natively?

It is not artificially limited, I think it is just not set up. So it would require someone actually configuring it to connect to GitHub, as far as I understand it (creating an account at GitHub to be used by Codeberg Translate).

We did this for GitLab, because a project wanted to use it, but I believe it would require more discussion whether this is in scope for Codeberg. Obviously, it is not our primary goal to offer convenience features for GitHub.

Is there a specific reason you want to use Codeberg Translate together with GitHub? Why not the official Weblate hosting?

Correcting: We didn't set up GitLab pull requests, but we configured pushing to GitLab via a special user.

Are we really sure that we don't want to help people mix-and-match whatever they feel like is appropriate for their use case and that motivating people to reduce their dependency on GitHub's infrastructure by reducing the amount of GitHub-provided offerings they use to begin with (thus making a possible future migration onto another platform like ours or a self-hosted instance) is not in line with our goals?

All translators using Codeberg Translate would have to create Codeberg accounts, so I'd imagine that open-source projects that are considering to switch could benefit from this so as to reduce the "but all of our contributors are on GitHub" factor.

It's OK if this is not a priority.

We used to self-host our own Weblate instance, but maintenance was stretching limited resources. So we tried applying to Weblate Libre plan, but it was rejected for being a bad fit due to the adult nature of the project.

Second person wanting to use Codeberg Translate with GitHub here.
Similar story to DogmaDragon, we are self-hosting our own instance right now, but there are several downsides to that. Hosted Weblate is too limiting compared to Codeberg Translate.

What is probably worth mentioning is that Codeberg should probably create a GitHub user, even if GitHub isn't supported, because someone else can create a GitHub user for Codeberg without asking.
This also means that I can take care of creating said user for GitHub. I could also create one, clearly state that it is unofficial, and leave my contact details in case Codeberg wants me to remove it or do something with it.
I can also help someone else set it up, though it is pretty easy if you understand what you are doing.

There is now a GitHub account set up for pushing changes from Codeberg Translate to GitHub.
You use it like any other Weblate GitHub account, but just in case I put instructions on its profile. https://github.com/Codeberg-Translate
With this, I believe we can close this issue.
