Overview

Tolgee is an open-source localisation platform for translating applications. Keys are added through SDKs for React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, Next, Flutter and Android, or via the CLI, REST API, file import/export and a Figma plugin, and texts can be edited in context from the running app. Machine and AI translation use extracted context, with optional human review before release.

Best for: Dev teams localising web and mobile apps who want non-developers editing text in context
Pricing: Free plan at €0 for 500 keys and 3 seats; Business is €179/month billed annually for 5,000 keys and 8 seats, while Team, Advanced and Enterprise prices are not shown.
Runs on: WebAndroidSelf-hosted
