Translator Tools
Translator Tools is a standalone local-first application in the add·ideas Toolbox. Inputs are parsed and edited in the browser only; no locale strings are uploaded.
Quick scope
- Import locale files (
.json,.js,.txt) in i18next-like or single-locale forms. - Review authoritative language against one target language at a time.
- Edit source and target strings and copy-source quickly.
- Add translation glossary entries per language pair and receive fuzzy suggestions.
- Add new languages and export a reviewer-updated translation bundle locally.
- Send exports through the same-tool transfer channel to the Portal.
Notes
- The parser accepts JavaScript-style locale assignment forms such as
const de = { ... }and tolerant spacing/commas. - Parsing and transfers are bounded to 5 MiB per imported/exported transfer file.
- Language detection relies on file name hints (
de_*.json) and explicit user selection.
