Using AI for translation instead of traditional translators, like DeepL, is becoming increasingly popular. The belief is usually that it sounds more natural and sometimes even cheaper. Often it actually is!

Do you ever struggle with deprecated localization keys? Wondering which keys are active in production and which are part of unreleased features? 😵‍💫

Context is crucial for software localization as it allows translators to understand the content in its proper context and thus produce an accurate translation. Without context, a software translation can be inaccurate and lead to user confusion or errors.

In June 2023, we released our own Tolgee AI Translator. It doesn't ignore context like other traditional machine translators, which makes it great for translating especially short texts. Tolgee Translator understands the context of the strings used in your app: that's why it can provide the best results.

Language formality – a powerful aid in how we express ourselves.

Are you thinking about launching your product in a new market? Or do you perhaps already have a global presence but want to enhance your localization strategy? This playbook is your roadmap for a successful product launch in new markets. Discover how effective localization goes beyond mere translation, resonates deeply with local audiences, and opens up new business opportunities.

In software development and localization, translation keys are placeholders for text strings requiring translation. This guide will explore the importance of appropriately naming translation keys and provide tips and best practices to improve your workflow.

Overall, localization is an important consideration in software development, as it allows products to be more widely adopted and used by a global market. In addition, it improves the user experience for non-native speakers, builds a positive reputation for the company, and increases its revenue and growth.

In the tech world, you may come across a few confusing acronyms. Those number-based words are called numeronyms. They are often used to abbreviate long words. Just take the first and last letter and count the letters in between.

Software localization is the process of translating software applications and user interfaces to accommodate users in different geographical regions. By doing this, you can expand your market reach and better serve your international customers.

When we did a market analysis in Tolgee, we asked many companies how they solved localization in their project. We asked them what's their i18n tooling. Surprisingly a lot of companies maintain their custom solution.

Machine translation (MT) is the process of using artificial intelligence to automatically translate text from one language to another without human involvement.

Localization testing is a software or web application testing procedure designed to ensure the performance of the application and evaluate its different aspects.

For many, this question has a pretty clear answer, but people, who are new to software development or who started to use i18next as the first choice, can be mistaken. So let's make it clear!

Tolgee in-context feature is now available on any production page which is using our integration library!

The i18next library is one of the most popular choices for formatting translations in React applications.

Some time ago I've came across an article about inserting secret text into regular messages using invisible zero-width unicode characters.

We always recommend preparing projects for localization as soon as possible. A lot of people, we are talking with, say that they are in early stage of development of their app and localization is something they don't need right now.
