> How It Works

# Let String Catalog handle localization

// Take the manual work out of Xcode and Android string updates
step_01:

CONNECT_REPO()

// Sign in with GitHub, choose the repo and branch, and we look for .xcstrings or Android XML files on our own.

step_02:

SELECT_LANGUAGES()

// Choose from over 40 languages, add tone or glossary notes when you need them, then click "Localize" and let us do the heavy lifting.

step_03:

REVIEW_PR()

// We raise a pull request with the new strings. Review it in GitHub, merge, and we'll open another one any time the source text changes.

/* FEATURES */

> Built For Teams

# The pieces we rely on to keep translations moving

fast_prs()

========================================================================================================
/* PLATFORMS */

> Native Platform Support

# Works directly with iOS and Android file formats

iOS

xcode_integration()

// We read and write Apple's String Catalog format with comments, notes, and device variations intact. No exports, no sync scripts, just the files Xcode expects.

  • ✓ Preserves all String Catalog metadata
  • ✓ Handles device-specific variations
  • ✓ Uses per-string comments as translation context
ANDROID

android_support()

// We generate strings.xml with plurals, placeholders, and all the Android quirks your app already uses. Comments stay in place so translators understand the intent, and it works with Gradle or Maven.

  • ✓ Supports plurals and quantities
  • ✓ Supports placeholders
  • ✓ Gradle and Maven compatible
