LocalizeBot

LocalizeBot is a macOS application that focuses on translating app localization files. It targets developers and teams who manage localization for iOS and other platforms, aiming to streamline the workflow. The tool supports drag-and-drop of localization files and provides a one-click translation option. It integrates with standard workflows and uses translation services to produce updated text for interfaces and strings.

The application accepts XLIFF and XCLOC formats and emphasizes alignment with common UI system translations through Apple glossaries. It also offers contextual information by allowing developers to add descriptions of their app to guide translation. Comments contributed during translation are taken into consideration to influence the results.

Users can improve translation quality by providing brief context descriptions for AI translations, which helps the tool better reflect intended usage and tone. The design centers on simplifying the localization process and enabling faster updates to language resources used in apps.

The product distributes a macOS download (macOS 13.0 or higher) and highlights its integration with existing Xcode workflows. It mentions using Apple glossaries for standard UI terms and supports contextual notes and inline comments to refine translations.
