-
/check-translations
Checks translation files against the source language: missing and extra keys, placeholders dropped or renamed, broken ICU syntax, the wrong plural forms for the language, strings left in English, text likely to clip, and punctuation that doesn't suit the locale.
-
/translator-brief
Drafts a translator brief, glossary and style guide for one locale from your codebase and product, using the book's templates.
-
/l10n-vocabulary
The book's glossary as a reference your agent can use, so you can both name things precisely.
For teams
Buy a seat for everyone doing the work, then hand the seats out by email. The seats belong to your company, so when someone leaves you can give theirs to someone else. Teams get 25% off at 3 seats or more and 50% off at 10 seats or more. Every purchase comes with an invoice, and you can add your company's tax ID at checkout.
Team seats are available at launch.
Give it as a gift
Buy a copy for someone else. We'll email them a link to claim it, and if they never do, you can send it to someone else from your account.
Gifts are available at launch.
Want your company to pay? Here's an email you can send your manager. Need to pay by bank transfer, or buying for more than 500 people? Get in touch and we'll send an invoice.
