Lingo.dev is a localization engineering platform that translates app content through configurable localization engines persisting glossaries, brand voice, and per-locale model chains. Developers call it from an open-source CLI, a React compiler, a GitHub Action, or the API, so translations regenerate automatically on every commit instead of being pasted into a separate web tool. Customers include Mistral AI, Cal.com, and Solana.

Pros & cons

  • Open-source CLI and compiler (Apache-2.0)
