Introduction to Translato
Translato is a modern, self-hosted Translation Management System (TMS) built for developers who care about speed, security, and version control.
Why Translato?
Most TMS solutions treat translation as an afterthought or a "black box" that lives outside your development workflow. Translato is built from the ground up to be VCS-first and Developer-centric.
Key Advantages
- Self-Hosted: You own your data. No per-user or per-project pricing.
- VCS Integration: Two-way sync with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. No more manual JSON file uploads.
- Powerful CLI: Push and pull translations directly from your terminal or CI/CD pipeline.
- Real-time Collaboration: Translators can work together in a sleek, socket-powered editor.
- Translation Memory (TM): Never translate the same sentence twice.
- Machine Translation (MT): Integrated support for DeepL, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini.
Core Philosophy
- Code is the Source of Truth: Your keys live in your codebase. Translato syncs with them, not the other way around.
- Zero Friction for Developers: No complicated SDKs. Just simple JSON/YAML/PO files and a CLI.
- Enterprise Features, Open Core: Organizations, Teams, RBAC, and Audit Logs — all out of the box.
Who is it for?
- Engineering Teams who want to automate their localization pipeline.
- Translators who need a clean, distraction-free environment with AI assistance.
- Companies with strict security requirements that need to self-host their translation data.
