Tolgee
Hold Alt/Option, click any string in your running app, and edit the translation in place:
Tolgee is an open-source localization platform built the way developers wish translation
worked - changes save straight to the platform with no hunting through JSON or PO files.
In-context editing works even in production via the Tolgee Tools browser extension, which
injects credentials without touching source code, so a client or colleague with zero coding
skills can translate the product inside the product. The SDKs (React, Angular, Vue, Svelte,
plus iOS and Android) extract context from each UI element and capture one-click screenshots,
giving both human translators and machines the surrounding meaning that raw string files lose.
Autonomous translation uses that context: new keys are instantly filled from translation
memory or machine translation (DeepL, Google Translate, AWS Translate), with optional human
review afterward - shipping no longer waits on a translation agency. A CLI handles
import/export, a REST API covers automation, a Figma plugin bridges design, and an MCP server
lets AI coding assistants search keys, create translations, and trigger machine translation
without leaving the editor. Self-hosting this Crowdin/Phrase/Lokalise alternative keeps every
string, screenshot, and API key on your infrastructure.
