Support for multiple versions of the same component

[MuraliNunna]

Hello,

I would like to configure my component, such that for every new feature that the developer works on, he can push the new updates to the files, and translators can work on them and once done, i would like weblate to raise a PR for that branch.

Currently, i see that this flow works for a single branch mapped to the component. I couldn't find any documentation regarding support for multiple branches for a component. A workaround can be to duplicate each component for each branch, which seems like a lot of work.

Isn't this a normal workflow for continuous translations? Or am i missing anything and overcomplicating the overflow? I'm open to suggestions on recommended way of continuous translations by weblate.

For ex.

component1 repo in github -> main branch has the base translation files -> mapped to component1 with branch as main and push_branch as weblate_main

Now, when a new feature comes in, developers would want to add new strings to the base language file in a new branch feature1 -> how do we setup translation management for this branch in weblate WITHOUT creating a duplicate component like earlier?

There is no automation to translate multiple branches. I know some users are automating this via API, but generally workflows for this differ and nobody yet come with an idea how to integrate this reasonably into Weblate.

You can easily create an additional component for a different branch of an existing component when creating a new one (I've recently described this in #12487).
