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.
