Localization helper app

Hi everyone,

I have developed an application to help localization of the application.
You can translate the language of the application into up to 100 languages.

https://trylang.net

I need beta users who will test my app.

    Hi Kaan -

    I may have a need for something like this in a few weeks. In our case, we only need to localize to a couple languages to start and we'll be using a simple library like this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-localization

    but I can see us using a tool like this for

    1. creating the initial locale sets
    2. managing/maintaining this long term (likely a non-developer role).

    Not sure if you have the capability yet, but would be nice to export these definitions into a JSON file (or request the whole thing via the API) so that we can simply transform it to the format we need.

    I wouldn't foresee us using the api for real-time lookups. Only to download the definitions prior to a deploy. Again, the biggest value I see for something like this, is allowing our ops team to add the locales as soon as the developer/design team add a new key. Not sure we'd rely on the auto-translation as we'd want to be very careful about getting a translation wrong/possibly offending a cultural or regional norm.

      Hi Johnny,

      I am currently working on export, import functions.
      You can test the managing system for free

        Cool, i'll give it a test run in a couple weeks. I think there are areas to improve pricing here.

        A couple other ways you might be able to monetize this are:

        1. Number of languages -
          A couple languages for free. More languages, paid tiers.

        2. Number of keys
          up to 50 keys (or some small number) for free. More keys, paid tiers.

        I think possibly doing it by number of keys? so 0-50 keys for free. This should be sufficient for a relatively small/hobby site, but bigger apps will require hundreds of keys, so you can certainly charge in that way. If I got value out of the system to solve an important problem, I would want to pay, especially knowing that more paying customers means a more robust system.
