Introduction
Localyzer Express is a GitHub application which allows for a near immediate translation of standard application resource files.
Resource files are used by internationalized applications to display user facing strings, such as user interface labels, in different locales (languages, country, variant). As an example, messages.properties, an English resource file, can be translated in French and Japanese, respectively messages_fr.properties and messages_ja.properties. As modifications are made to the source resource file, Localyzer Express will automatically translate the target locale files.
First install the GitHub application for an organization, and choose the respositories (or all) that you would like translated. Then configure each repository, choosing source and target locales, resource type, file naming conventions, repository branches to include and/or exclude, and resource directories to include and/or exclude. Localyzer Express will then automatically machine translate resource files as they are committed to the repository.
Localyzer Express is a GitHub specific and streamlined version of the more fully fledged Localyzer.
Note: LocalyzerQA allows for post editing in a QA fashion translation from Localyzer Express
Supported Resource Files
The following resource file types are supported by Localyzer Express, provided they follow the standards:
- properties files
- resx files

Contact info@lingoport.com for support of non standard and other file types, and other translation processes.
