Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does the app work offline?
An internet connection is required for translation as the app uses Google Translate API. However, all file processing happens locally on your Mac. No files are uploaded to any server.
Are my translation files stored anywhere?
No. All files are processed locally on your device. Only the text content is sent to Google Translate for translation. We do not store, retain, or have access to any of your data.
What file formats are supported?
The app supports Xcode localization folders (.xcloc) and XLIFF translation files (.xliff). Simply drag and drop them into the app window to begin translation.
Will placeholders be preserved in translations?
Yes! The app automatically detects and preserves all placeholders including %@, %d, %ld, {0}, {1}, and other format specifiers. This ensures your localized strings work correctly with dynamic content in your app.
How accurate are the translations?
The app uses Google Translate API, which provides high-quality translations for over 100 languages. However, we recommend reviewing automated translations for context, tone, and cultural appropriateness, especially for user-facing content in your apps.
Can I use this for commercial projects?
Yes! The app is designed for developers working on iOS, macOS, and other Apple platform apps. You can use it for personal projects, client work, and commercial applications. However, please note that Google Translate API usage is subject to their terms of service.
Localize your app. Skip the tedious part.
