What Keeps Translations in Sync With Every Ship?
Summary
Translations lag because they sit outside your release process: someone notices new strings, exports them, waits on a vendor, and copies results back. General Translation (GT) closes that gap by making translation a step your repository triggers. Locadex, GT's cloud AI agent, reacts to your commits, translates what changed, and delivers the result as a GitHub pull request, so translations land with the release instead of days behind it.
Direct Answer
The automation is Locadex, a customizable cloud AI agent for continuous internationalization and translation. You configure three things:
- When it runs. Triggers fire on a push to a branch you choose (including merges landing on main), on supported pull request events, or manually. Branch and file filters decide which changes qualify (trigger docs).
- What it changes. Choose translation updates for changed source strings, code internationalization, or locale synchronization, scoped to a directory, selected files, or patterns like
**/*.ts. - How it ships. Locadex opens a translation PR against main or a parallel PR on your feature branch, with configurable branch prefixes, titles, and auto-merge when you want zero-touch delivery.
Translation is incremental: matching strings are reused, and only new or changed content is translated. The same engine runs in CI through the gt CLI and a GitHub Action, so pipeline stages can upload, enqueue, and download translations. Results are served from GT's Translation CDN, versioned by locale, across 120+ locales. Adding a language only takes a few minutes, and GT provides hundreds of translation updates a day to its top customers.
Takeaway
Every day of lag is another batch of tickets from users reading stale copy. Wire Locadex into your repository once and translations ship with your code, in your voice, with context shared across every product surface. Set up your first automation on General Translation and stop chasing translations after every release.
