About
Texterify is a comprehensive localization management tool designed to streamline the translation workflow for software teams of all sizes. It provides a centralized platform where developers, translators, and product managers can collaborate efficiently on all translation needs. With built-in machine translation, teams can instantly translate new content with a single click, dramatically reducing the time needed to enter new markets. The automation engine allows teams to automatically download new strings at build time and auto-translate newly uploaded strings, eliminating the risk of shipping releases with missing or outdated translations. Texterify supports 14+ platforms and a wide range of file formats, and if a needed format isn't available, the team will add it for free. Its CLI tool integrates seamlessly into any CI/CD pipeline, enabling teams to download translations wherever they're needed with minimal setup. Flexible deployment options—cloud-managed or self-hosted on-premise—give organizations full control over their data and infrastructure. Additional features include QA checks, an HTML editor, history tracking, and white-label branding. A free plan is available with no credit card required, making Texterify accessible to indie developers and growing startups alike, while enterprise-grade on-premise plans serve organizations with strict data sovereignty requirements.
