Context at every layer
Translations follow your voice and style rules, and understand the context and logic of your product.
Custom-built for Mintlify. Connect your repo and every page ships in every language in minutes
Quickstart
Translate a Mintlify documentation site with General Translation.
The integration is powered by Locadex, an AI agent: connect the GitHub repository that holds your docs, choose your languages, and Locadex opens a pull request with internationalization (i18n) routing and translated content. There is nothing to install and no config to write by hand.
Before you start
You need:
docs.json whose $schema points at Mintlify (mintlify.com/docs.json), with no legacy mint.json.Pull request mergedes, fr, ja
Three steps and a few minutes, with no code to change and no config to write by hand
Connect our Locadex agent with your GitHub repo where your Mintlify docs live.
Pick your source locale and target languages.
Locadex does all the configuration for you and opens a PR with your translated pages, multilingual navigation, and internationalization (i18n) routing. Merge it and your translated docs are live.
How do I translate a Mintlify docs site?
In Hamburg, your Mintlify docs open in English, and the site offers no German. The navigation in docs.json lists one set of English pages and no languages. General Translation lets you choose languages, and Locadex opens a translation pull request. Authorize the General Translation app on GitHub, and choose your docs repository in the Dashboard. Create an automation from the Generate translations and push template for Mintlify, then run its setup with your languages. Locadex's pull request adds a navigation entry per language and the translated pages. The merged site's menu switches the docs to Spanish, Japanese and German.
General Translation builds the full localization stack, which means a frictionless experience for both developers and users
11+ locales across dashboard, landing page, iOS
14+ locales across web, docs
47+ locales across platform, docs
2+ locales across web, iOS, Android
7+ locales across web, GTM
The highest-quality translations that understand your product and check against your entire docs site
Translations follow your voice and style rules, and understand the context and logic of your product.
Each page is proofread, compared with your source, and checked for consistency against your other pages.
Every line is editable in the Dashboard, with side-by-side languages, history, and comments.
Whenever you update your docs, Locadex translates the change and opens a pull request for you. Just review and merge
General Translation connects your code, content, translations, and review in one platform
Not quite. Translation converts your content from one language into another. Localization is the umbrella term for translating software. It adapts the whole product for each locale, including internationalization (i18n), which prepares your site for multiple locales with routing, navigation, dates, currencies, plurals, and other conventions.
General Translation handles setup and maintenance of both localization and translation, continuously.
For the full localization setup, see Mintlify localization.
For a one-off pass, yes. But shipping docs you can trust every week, in every language, takes a system around the model.
Your pages aren’t just text. MDX components, imports, and code blocks must come back exactly as written, frontmatter keeps its keys, and heading IDs like {#configure-client} stay attached so deep links don’t break.
Your docs are a site, not a page. Navigation needs a version per language, locale codes have to fit what your platform accepts, and “workspace” must translate the same way on page 1 and page 400 (and in your app, for which we also support localization).
Your docs change every week. Each update should translate only what changed, keep your reviewers’ hand edits, and land as a pull request on the right branch. Adding a language later shouldn’t break the ones you have.
Multiple team members need control and visibility: see every line side by side with its source, history, comments, roles, and tone rules for each language.
General Translation runs all of this end-to-end. We handle thousands of localization PRs for our customers, so they can focus on building a product the world loves.
Yes. Reviewers compare languages side by side on the Translations page, edit any line inline, and add labels, notes, and comments. Seats are unlimited, so your whole team can join.
Minutes, not a migration. Connect your repository, choose your languages, and merge the pull request General Translation opens; translation runs at scale from there (Ramp translated 40,000 keys, millions of words, in a few minutes). You can also hand setup to your coding agent with the Setup for Agents button.
Every language Mintlify supports, including Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Portuguese (including Brazil), Arabic, Hebrew, and Hindi. General Translation maps the locales you choose onto Mintlify’s language codes, and regional variants use their base language unless Mintlify supports them directly. See the full list.
Yes, continuously. Our Locadex agent runs on the pull-request, commit, or manual triggers you choose, translates what changed instead of the whole site, and delivers through a pull request, so every release ships in every language with the change that introduced it.
General Translation lets you set Custom Prompts with your tone and style, and a Glossary that pins product names and key terminology. Context is applied consistently across all of your translations, including your app, website, docs, slides, and design files.
No. Translation preserves MDX syntax and component structure while translating the human-readable content, and frontmatter titles and descriptions are translated for Mintlify sites.
