What is Traduora?

Traduora gives a team one place to manage the translations of an app. You create a project, import existing string files, and translators work on the same project through a web interface with instant search. Files go in and out as flat or nested JSON and YAML, CSV, Java Properties, XLIFF 1.2, Gettext PO, Apple Strings and Android XML resources. A REST API lets build scripts and CI pull or push strings, and translation updates can be delivered over the air. An unofficial command-line client is maintained by the community.

Good fit if

  • Your developers and translators pass string files around by hand and need a shared, searchable workspace.
  • You want to automate exporting translations during builds through an API on a server you control.

Look elsewhere if

  • You want translation tied closely to your Git repositories and a project with broader contributor activity: Weblate.

Before you adopt it

Traduora is under the AGPL, a copyleft license that requires sharing source changes when you offer a modified version over a network. No paid parts are in the repository, but contributors must sign a CLA. It was started by an independent developer and moved to Ever Co. in April 2021; recent commits come from a single author. Setup is light: the repository ships a Docker image along with a compose file. Versions 0.21.0 and 0.22.0 seeded the admin account with a published password, so anyone upgrading from them should follow the README's steps to rotate it and reset sessions.
