We characterize those derivations from the convolution algebra $\ell^1({\mathbb Z}_+)$ to its dual which are weakly compact. In particular, we provide examples which are weakly compact but not compact. The characterization is combinatorial, in terms of "translation-finite" subsets of ${\mathbb Z}_+$, and we investigate how this notion relates to other notions of "smallness" for infinite subsets of ${\mathbb Z}_+$. In particular, we show that a set of strictly positive Banach density cannot be translation-finite; the proof has a Ramsey-theoretic flavour.
