Simplify GitLab localization with four key benefits

Your development team shouldn't have to become translation experts. Our GitLab integration handles the complex parts of localization so you can focus on building great products.

Automatic content sync

Push your GitLab content to translators without leaving your workflow. New commits trigger translation updates automatically, so your international versions stay current with every code change.

Developer-friendly setup

Install our GitLab plugin in minutes, not hours. Configure translation rules once and let the system handle everything else. No complex APIs or custom scripts needed.

Quality control built in

Every translation goes through professional review before it reaches your repository. Catch errors early and maintain brand consistency across all your international markets.

Seamless GitLab integration

Translated content flows back into your GitLab branches automatically. Your existing review process stays intact while international content gets the same attention as your source code.

How localization fits into your GitLab development flow

Translation becomes part of your regular development process instead of a separate project that happens later.

Talk to us
How does the GitLab plugin connect to my repository?

The plugin uses GitLab's standard API with read and write permissions you control. You can limit access to specific repositories and branches. Installation takes less than five minutes.

What file formats work with GitLab translation?

We support all common localization formats including JSON, YAML, properties files, and gettext. The system automatically detects file types and handles conversion for translators.

Can I use my existing GitLab workflow with the integration?

Yes. The GitLab app works with your current branching strategy and review process. Translations come back as pull requests that go through your normal approval workflow.

How do translators access context for GitLab projects?

Translators see screenshots, developer notes, and previous translations for context. They never access your actual GitLab repository, only the content that needs translation.

What happens if I need to update content during translation?

The system tracks changes automatically. If you update source content while translation is in progress, translators get notified and can adjust their work accordingly.

How much does GitLab localization cost?

Pricing depends on your content volume and language requirements. Most teams start with our standard plan at £99 per month. Enterprise options available for larger organisations.

Do you support GitLab Enterprise installations?

Yes. Our GitLab integration works with both GitLab.com and self-hosted GitLab Enterprise instances. We can configure secure connections for on-premise installations.

Can I automate GitLab translation for specific branches only?

Absolutely. Set up rules to trigger translation only for designated branches like 'main' or 'release'. You control exactly what content gets translated and when.
