Products that do what An open-source translation memory for mobile developers does

I’ve always wanted to localize my personal apps, but I found it to be too expensive. Since many apps share the same vocabulary (News Feed, Dashboard, Forgot Password, Take Photo), it seemed silly to pay to translate words that some other development team must have previously paid to translate. So, I’ve created an open-source translation memory for all iOS developers to benefit from. I processed over 500K GitHub iOS projects, AppleGlot, and other open-source resources and created a database of almost 15 million translations. Check it out here:…

    Hi HN! Fernando here. A few months ago [1], I shared Hupreter (https://hupreter.com) with you all and now I am finally opening it up so that everyone can try it for free. The goal is to let users create apps and process data effortlessly, by just describing what the computer should do, in spoken English. We have made a lot of progress since the first post, and even though it is far from perfect, I really want to see how people use it and get feedback. In terms of creating apps, it supports persisting data (you can store/retrieve values), if statements, while loops, etc. For…

    As an app developer, I noticed that smaller teams frequently run into the hassles of managing translation strings across iOS, Android and web, and keeping them in sync and up to date. To make this a little easier I've been working on a small utility that allows you to use Google Sheets to manage these translations. Perfect for small teams that do not need any of the advanced features that paid platforms offer, but still want to have an easy to use centralised place to edit these strings. Without creating any account or whatsoever, you can use the Localeasy endpoint to convert your sheet into…

    Hey HN, I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called Convoxa. It’s a native iOS transcriber/summarizer. I had two main goals: keep it efficient and keep it private. THE TECH STACK 100% Swift & SwiftUI: No heavy cross-platform wrappers or bloated dependencies. Binary Size: The final build is only 4.8 MB. Transcription: Uses Apple's latest speech APIs for maximum privacy and efficiency. THE CHALLENGE: BYPASSING THE 4K CONTEXT LIMIT The biggest technical hurdle was working with Apple’s foundation models. The default context window is capped at 4096 tokens, which is practically…

    Hi HN! I'm Ilya, creator of Localit.io - a translation management system for dev teams who are tired of expensive tools like Lokalise and Phrase. The problem: Traditional TMS solutions charge $100-2000/month for basic localization features. Complex setups take hours, and many charge extra for Git integrations. What we built: - Direct GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket integration (including Enterprise) - AI translations via ChatGPT, DeepL, Google Translate - Professional translators through Gengo - Built-in team chat with message translation - Mobile app for remote translators - Same…

    Our use case: our app has Russian (our native language) and English. We needed to quickly and easily add more languages (as requested by clients). Our translation files were a mess: duplicated strings, concatenation instead of placeholders, different string order in ru/en files, trailing spaces, and much more. So I wrote a helper tool to fix all of this. Now, adding a new language takes just 40 minutes and $2. It worked so well that I cleaned up the project and released it as open source. # Key feature: Translation into new languages happens from two source languages at once: the…
