How to translate whole i18n folders?

Streamline Your Website Localization with DevTranslate’s New “Translate Folders” Feature

When it comes to making your website or application truly global, localization is a must. DevTranslate, a tool designed specifically for developers, has introduced an exciting “Translate Folders” feature that can significantly speed up and simplify the translation process. This powerful addition allows users to easily translate entire folders of files in just a few clicks, making it a game-changer for app and website localization.

In this post, we’ll explore how this new feature works, why it’s valuable, and how you can take full advantage of it to streamline your translation workflow.

What is the “Translate Folders” feature?

The “Translate Folders” feature in DevTranslate enables developers to upload and translate entire directories of resource files at once. This means you no longer need to translate individual files manually — instead, the tool handles the entire batch at once. Whether your project includes multiple JSON, XML, or ARB files, this feature supports bulk translation into 26 languages with seamless accuracy.

Key Benefits:

  • Bulk Translation: Save hours of work by translating entire folders in one go.
  • Time-Saving: Drastically reduce the time spent on localization by letting the tool handle multiple files simultaneously.
  • Consistency: By translating everything at once, you ensure that your translations are uniform across all languages and platforms.

How does it work?

Using the “Translate Folders” feature is incredibly simple:

  1. Upload your folder: Drag and drop your folder containing files such as .json, .xml, .arb, or .strings.
  2. Select files that need to be translated: If the folder contains files that don't need translation, select only those that should be translated.
  3. Select input & output languages: Choose the source language of your content and the languages you want the files to be translated into.
  4. Click translate: DevTranslate will process your folder in a matter of minutes.
  5. Download Translated Files: Once the translations are complete, you can download the fully localized folder and integrate it back into your project.

Why it’s so cool?

For developers working on large-scale apps or websites with regular updates, this feature is a game-changer. Instead of manually translating new content every time an update is rolled out, DevTranslate automates the process. This is especially beneficial for teams managing multi-language websites or apps where updates happen frequently, ensuring that the translated content is always up-to-date and consistent across different languages.

Here’s why folder translations stand out:

  • Effortless integration: Upload your folder, select the languages, and let DevTranslate do the rest.
  • Avoid manual errors: Automating translation eliminates the risk of human error, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
  • Simple to use: Whether you need to translate one file or a hundred, DevTranslate’s folder translation scales effortlessly.
