1. Create your first project

  1. Login to your Translato dashboard.
  2. Click "New Project".
  3. Give it a name (e.g., My App) and a unique slug.
  4. Select your Source Language (e.g., English) and Target Languages (e.g., German, Spanish, French).

2. Install the CLI

The easiest way to get keys into Translato is using our CLI.

npm install -g translato-cli

3. Push your first keys

Navigate to your project root (where your i18n JSON files are) and run:

translato init

Follow the prompts to connect your project. Then, push your source language keys:

translato push

4. Translate in the Editor

  1. Go back to the Translato dashboard.
  2. Open your project and click on a language (e.g., German).
  3. Type a translation or use the AI Translate button.
  4. Click "Save".

5. Pull translations back to your code

Once some translations are done, pull them back into your local files:

Your local de.json and es.json files are now updated with the new translations!
