How can product managers, designers or other non-developer team members edit the strings?
Team members who care about precise wording can reliably edit the strings directly inside the product using Tolgee Native SDKs and its in-context editing feature.
Users can open the in-context edition dialog by alt+clicing the string in the development mode app.
Even live production applications can be turned to development mode using the Tolgee Chrome plugin.
Such an edit is very simple and reliable because the user knows what string is edited and that they're not editing a different string. Also, they don't have to search for the string in the source code, localization files, or huge localization data sets.
How can I export the data for production?
You can export the data
using the Tolgee Platform UI
using the CLI
using the REST API
or you can publish the data to the CDN
Is my API key exposed in the production?
When your app is live in production, there is no need to use the API key. Your app does not fetch data from Tolgee REST API; instead, it fetches data from static assets or Content Delivery (CDN).
You should never leak your API key. That's why developers should store the API keys in environment files (.env) in the .gitignore file.
Can I use strings created for web app for mobile and other apps?
Yes. When conversion to Tolgee ICU placeholders is enabled, you can reuse the exact data for any supported platform.
For example, you can use data created for web applications for your iOS or Android mobile app and vice versa.
