   would this work,
   .github/workflows/block-weblate-conflicts.yml

   name: Weblate Conflict Check
   
   # Only run this when someone opens or updates a PR
   on:
     pull_request:
       # Target the specific folders where English docs live.
       # (You may need to adjust these paths based on the exact repo structure)
       paths:
         - 'en/**'
         - '_pages/en/**'
         - '_docs/en/**'
   
   jobs:
     check-weblate-status:
       name: Check for open Weblate PRs
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
         - name: Query GitHub API for Weblate PRs
           env:

             WEBLATE_AUTHOR="weblate" 
             
             echo "Checking for open PRs from author: $WEBLATE_AUTHOR..."
             OPEN_PRS=$(gh pr list --state open --author "$WEBLATE_AUTHOR" --json number --jq 'length')
             
             if [ "$OPEN_PRS" -gt 0 ]; then
               echo "::error title=Weblate Conflict Detected::There are currently $OPEN_PRS open Weblate translation PR(s)."
               echo "Merging English documentation changes right now will cause Weblate to lock up."
               echo "Please wait until the Weblate PR is merged before proceeding."
               exit 1
             else

   I'd had a go at this using labels but that involved using external actions. I like this approach as it seems much simpler but effective. @JaminShanti have you tested it?

   I didn't. Mock up but seemed to fit what you wanted to check for while not adding burdon to commiters

   @JaminShanti you should be able to test it in your own Github fork.
