0 native file formats, one workflow.

Translate your product without the copy-paste tax.

Import your strings, let Claude take the first pass, and edit them in a keyboard-first editor — or right on top of your running app.

About Us

The team behind an open-source localization platform

We built transglot because localization still runs on spreadsheets, email threads, and lossy round-trips that quietly break your placeholders.

Features

One workspace for the whole localization stack

A keyboard-first editor, Claude-powered translation, translation memory, and a REST API with signed webhooks — all working on the same source of truth.

AI translation

Claude drafts the first pass, with structured output built to preserve your placeholders.

Process

From import to shipped locale — in 4 simple steps

The same source of truth from the first import to the pull request that ships your translations.

The transglot CLI: a transglot.json config and npx transglot init / push / pull in a terminal

Import your strings

Bring your existing translation files in as they are — twenty native formats round-trip cleanly, plurals and platform structure intact.

Let Claude take the first pass

Batch translation runs through Claude, with structured output built to keep your placeholders and tokens intact.

Review it in context

Reviewers see the real UI a string lives in, so nobody has to guess what a bare key means.

Ship from your pipeline

Pull finished translations back into your repo from CI, and react to every completed batch.

Migrate

Already on another tool? Switch in one import.

Paste a read token and pull your projects, keys, and every locale across in a single run. Everything lands as first-class transglot content — ready for AI drafts, translation memory, the glossary, and review.

Lokalise

Pull projects, keys, and every locale straight from the Lokalise API.

Phrase

Import your Phrase keys and translations as flat JSON, locale by locale.

Crowdin

Bring source strings and per-language translations across from Crowdin.

On a different tool? Every one of the twenty native formats round-trips, so an export-and-import path is always open — and a real person will walk your team through it.

Core features

An editor built for large projects

A virtualized, keyboard-first grid that stays smooth on thousands of keys — and never makes you reach for the mouse.

  • Keyboard-first.
  • Virtualized.
  • Typo-tolerant.
typo-tolerant-fuzzy-search

Typo-tolerant fuzzy search

Postgres pg_trgm finds keys and values even when you mistype them.

Editing a French translation inline in the transglot editor grid

Optimistic cell saves

Cmd/Ctrl+Enter commits an edit instantly, then reconciles with the server.

plural-forms-and-rtl

Plural forms and RTL

Edit each CLDR plural category, and right-to-left locales render right.

A virtualized translation grid showing twelve keys across English and French

A grid that never lags

Virtualized rows keep thousands of keys scrolling smoothly.

Benefits

Less busywork, fewer regressions

Translation memory kills the repeat work, structured output keeps your interpolations intact, and a shared glossary plus automated QA stop terminology from drifting between locales.
