INI file format for translations.
Weblate currently supports several variants of JSON translations:

* Monolingual INI files
* :ref:`joomla`
* :ref:`islu`

INI translations are usually used as monolingual translations.

.. note::

   Weblate only extracts keys from sections within an INI file. In case your INI
   file lacks sections, you might want to use :ref:`joomla` or :ref:`javaprop`
   instead.

    :doc:`tt:formats/ini`,
    :ref:`javaprop`,
    :ref:`joomla`,
    :ref:`islu`
