Lingo.dev CLI

AI translations for apps and content

Introduction

Lingo.dev CLI is a free, open-source CLI for translating apps and content with AI. It’s designed to replace traditional translation management software while integrating with existing pipelines.

To get up and running, read the Quickstart guide.

Why Lingo.dev CLI?

  • Supports all major LLM providers, such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
  • Supports all industry-standard formats, such as CSV, JSON, and PO files.
  • Integrates with CI/CD pipelines for continuous translation.

How it works

At a high-level, Lingo.dev CLI:

  1. Extracts translatable content from a variety of file formats.
  2. Sends the extracted content to an LLM provider for translation.
  3. Writes the changes back to the file system.
  4. Keeps track of what's been translated to prevent unnecessary retranslation.
