Captcha Support

New in version 2.0.5.

With Pootle’s flexible permissions several ways of interacting with your translation community are possible. If you have a very open Pootle server, you might want to ensure that spammers don’t abuse it by enabling captchas.

Configuration

Changed in version 2.1: Captchas are now enabled by default.

If you have no need for captchas, e.g. at a translation sprint, you might want to remove captcha support. To disable it, set USE_CAPTCHA in your configuration file to False. Restart your server for the setting to take effect.

Customization

The captchas can be customized. Look at the captcha template and code:

  • pootle/templates/captcha.html and
  • pootle/middleware/captcha.py

and make the changes you need.
