Transglot VS Code extension showing real inline translations in an example project — Native VS Code capture using an example localization project.

the workflow

Connect your content. Review every language.

Connect once, choose your content and languages, then translate and review in the same project. The steps below show how it works in your tool.

Connect your project
Install Transglot from the Marketplace, then run Transglot: Sign In with your project access token.
connect
Inspect the source keys
Open a configured JSON locale file to see CodeLens values, translated hovers and missing-key diagnostics.
inspect
Update the translations
Edit a target translation or explicitly start an AI translation batch from the extension.
translate
Push and pull the files
Push source changes and pull translated locale files through the same project used by your CLI and CI.
deliver

Inspect translations inline, edit a locale value, and pull locale files back into your workspace.

what moves

What you can translate and deliver.

Translate beside the code you already write. Inspect locale values, find missing translations, and push or pull from VS Code.

What you can translate and deliver.
Surface	What to expect
Source and scope	source files, inline JSON translations, missing-key diagnostics and locale downloads
Translated output	Inspect translations inline, edit a locale value, and pull locale files back into your workspace.
Keep in mind	Inline translations and missing-key diagnostics support the JSON-family formats. File push, pull and AI batches support the wider Transglot format catalog.

get connected

A few steps to your first connection.

Follow your tool’s setup below: add the connection, choose what to sync, and try it with a small set of content. Your team can keep working in the tools they already use.

What you need

a Transglot project access token stored in VS Code SecretStorage.

A Transglot project with its source and target locales configured.
Save credentials in the connection settings so your team can work without copying secrets between files.
Hosted API access requires a paid Transglot plan. AI translation uses your workspace’s word allowance.

Create your project

Install Transglot from the VS Code Marketplace, or run code --install-extension transglot.transglot.
Open a trusted workspace with a transglot.json configuration for its source files and pull paths.
Run Transglot: Sign In and enter the project token when prompted. The token is stored in SecretStorage, not in workspace settings.
Open a configured locale file. Use the project tree and command palette to inspect, edit, push, translate or pull.
