Why teams choose Transifex for GitHub localization

Connecting your GitHub repositories to Transifex eliminates the tedious back-and-forth of manual translation management. Your development team stays focused on building while translations happen automatically in the background.

Automated sync keeps everything current

No more copying files or chasing updates. When you push code changes, your translation files sync automatically. Translators always work with the latest content, and completed translations flow back to your repository without any manual intervention.

Context-rich translations that actually make sense

Your translators see exactly how text appears in your application. Screenshots, character limits, and usage notes travel with every string. This means fewer revision rounds and translations that fit perfectly the first time.

Version control for translation teams

Every translation change gets tracked just like your code. Roll back problematic translations, see who changed what, and maintain quality standards across all your localized content with full audit trails.

Github integration

Translated content flows directly back into your GitHub repositories, keeping your development workflow uninterrupted. Your existing pull request and review processes stay intact, so multilingual content gets the same rigor as your source code.

How localization fits into your development workflow

Modern software development moves fast, and your translation process should keep up. Our GitHub integration slots perfectly into your existing workflow without disrupting your team's productivity.

Pro tip: Use pseudo-translation to catch layout issues early. Generate fake translations that are longer than your source text to spot UI problems before real translation work begins.

Talk to us
How does the GitHub integration handle file formats?

Our integration supports all major localization file formats including JSON, YAML, properties files, and gettext. We automatically detect your file structure and preserve formatting during translation sync.

Can I control which files get translated?

Yes, you configure exactly which files and directories to include in translation. Set up filters to exclude development files, documentation, or any content that shouldn't be localized.

What happens if I change my repository structure?

The integration adapts to repository changes automatically. Move files, rename directories, or restructure your project without breaking the translation sync. We track content by string keys, not file paths.

How do translation updates get back to GitHub?

Completed translations return to your repository through pull requests or direct commits, depending on your preference. You maintain full control over when and how translated content gets merged.

Does this work with private repositories?

Absolutely. The integration works with both public and private GitHub repositories. We use secure OAuth authentication and never store your source code on our servers.

Can multiple team members manage the integration?

Yes, you can grant integration access to multiple team members through GitHub's standard permission system. Everyone with repository access can monitor translation status and manage sync settings.

What about translation quality and reviews?

Our platform includes built-in quality checks, translation memory, and review workflows. Set up approval processes so translations get reviewed before returning to your repository.

How much does the GitHub integration cost?

The integration is included with all Transifex plans at no extra charge. Pricing depends on your translation volume and team size, with free trials available for new accounts.
