Tolgee

Open-source localization platform with in-context editing

FreemiumFree TierAdded Jun 1, 2021

About

Tolgee is an open-source localization and translation management platform that speeds up the translation process by 90%. It features in-context editing (translators click directly on your app's UI to translate), machine translation integration, translation memory, and SDKs for React, Vue, Angular, and other JS frameworks. Developers set up once and translators work visually without touching code. It eliminates the tedious JSON/XLIFF file exchange workflow.

Origin Story

By Jan Cizmar

The Problem

Localizing apps means endless JSON file exchanges between developers and translators — slow, error-prone, and frustrating.

Building It

Launched 2021, open-sourced. Growing as the developer-friendly alternative to expensive localization platforms.

What It Means

Shows that localization tools should let translators work in-context on the actual app, not in spreadsheets.

The Dream

Make every app multilingual by default with zero friction between developers and translators.
