Automating translations with SimpleLocalize (July 2024)

How translation automation works

Translation automation in SimpleLocalize uses smart rules to detect changes, auto-translate content, sync files, and alert your team so your localization process runs on autopilot.

Detect changes

Automatically identify when new text is added or changed with no manual tracking required.

Auto-translate with AI

Use DeepL, Google Translate, or OpenAI to fill in missing translations instantly.

Sync with your tools

Push and pull translations from GitHub, S3, or APIs to keep everything in sync.

Notify your team

Trigger webhook or Slack alerts when translations need review or actions are completed.

Automations you can set up in minutes

Create smart automation rules that detect new or updated content, auto-translate it, mark translations for review, and publish updates automatically saving time and keeping your projects in sync.

Detect › Auto-translate
› Mark for review

Set up triggers to detect new or updated translation keys, then automatically translate them using your preferred provider like Google Translate, DeepL, or OpenAI. After translation, mark them for review to ensure quality before publishing.

Default language change
› Update or remove translations

When the source text changes, e.g. English, automatically update translations in all languages or remove them to keep your content clean and relevant. This keeps your translations always in sync with the source content.

Auto‑translation done
› Publish automatically

Once machine translation is complete, immediately publish the updated translations to your project. No manual upload or download needed, everything happens automatically, keeping your content fresh and up to date.

Automate your entire translation workflow

SimpleLocalize lets you build powerful automation rules that handle every step of your localization process, from detecting new content to publishing translations. No code. No hassle.

What are translation automations?

Translation automations are a powerful feature in SimpleLocalize that let you automate your i18n workflow — no need for Zapier, Make.com, or custom scripts. Our easy-to-use and no-code automation builder allows you to define triggers and actions, so translations can happen instantly when content changes.
Whether you want to auto-translate new keys, sync files on schedule, or notify your team, you can build custom workflows that match your exact localization process.Available on all paid plans with no additional costs or integration limits.

Automate app translations without writing code

Imagine you are a solo developer or a small team maintaining a multilingual app. Manually managing translations is time-consuming, but with automations, it is fully handled for you.
In the video below, we start by updating translation files, then upload the project changes. From there, automations take over. New keys are translated automatically and flagged for review, ready to download or publish.

Most common i18n automation use cases

Translation automations can support almost any workflow. Some of the most common include:

  • Auto-translating new keys when content is added or updated
  • Removing or updating translations when source language strings change
  • Publishing translations once a task or review is complete
  • Sending notifications via Slack, email, or webhooks to keep your team updated
You can mix and match conditions and actions to fit your exact localization pipeline.

No-code translation workflow for teams

Our visual automation editor makes it easy to create custom translation workflows. No coding, no integrations required.
You can define workflows like:

  • “When a new key is added → Translate it → Mark it for review”
  • “When source language text changes → Re-translate other languages”
  • “When translation is completed → Trigger webhook to deploy”
It's fast, flexible, and designed for developers, product teams, and content managers alike.

Continuous localization for modern apps

SimpleLocalize fits perfectly into continuous localization pipelines. Use it with GitHub, GitLab, CLI, or S3 to automatically update and publish translations as part of your deployment process. Automations can run on file uploads, scheduled syncs, or changes in your translation keys ensuring every change is translated, reviewed, and deployed without delay. Combined with auto-translation providers like DeepL or Google Translate, it's the fastest way to keep your app multilingual and up to date.
