Usage
=====
The Python module can be installed from the PyPI:
.. code-block:: sh
pip install weblate-language-data
It contains several modules containing language definitions and Gettext
translations for them (in a way that they would be discovered by Django when
used as an Django application).

code and can be used independently.
