About Tolgee

Tolgee is an open-source localization platform developed by a company based in the Czech Republic. It is built for developers and product teams who want translation management that lives close to the code and lets translators work directly inside the running application.

Its signature feature is in-context editing: with the Tolgee SDK enabled, a translator or developer holds a modifier key and clicks any text in the app to edit its translation in place, and screenshots are captured automatically for context. SDKs cover JavaScript, React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, Svelte and i18next, and there are integrations for mobile formats, a CLI for syncing keys in CI, a Figma plugin and a REST API. The platform includes translation memory, machine translation from engines such as DeepL and Google, AI translation, comments, tasks and review states. The core can be self-hosted for free with Docker, while Tolgee Cloud offers managed hosting with paid plans based on usage, and enterprise features are available for self-hosted installations.

Tolgee fits startups and development teams localizing web apps who value open source, self-hosting and a pleasant developer experience. Its ecosystem of integrations and enterprise workflow features is smaller than those of Crowdin, Lokalise or Phrase, which suit large localization programs with many file types and vendors. Weblate is the other major open-source option and is especially popular with open-source projects.
