Overview
Lingo.dev provides a developer-first set of open-source tools for localization, combining a build-time compiler, CLI, CI/CD integrations and a runtime SDK. It helps teams extract and manage strings during builds, automate translation PRs in CI pipelines, and localize dynamic content at runtime.
Key features
- Compiler: build-time localization for React apps without changing components.
- CLI: one-command scanning and incremental translation with caching.
- CI/CD integration: automate translation PRs and validation in existing pipelines.
- SDK: runtime localization for user-generated content and real-time flows.
Use cases
- Internationalizing web and mobile apps at build time.
- Automating translation workflows in CI to reduce manual steps.
- Localizing dynamic content such as comments, chats, and CMS-driven pages.
Technical highlights
- TypeScript monorepo with modular packages and compatibility with modern bundlers.
- Pluggable backends: bring-your-own-LLM or use Lingo.dev localization engine.
- Extensible middleware and SDKs for Web and React Native platforms.
