Description
String Catalog offers a comprehensive solution for app localization, designed to seamlessly integrate into the development pipelines of iOS and Android teams. It empowers developers to ship localized app strings, release notes, and store metadata without disrupting their established Git workflow. By connecting directly to repositories on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, String Catalog enables review of localization updates through familiar pull requests, maintaining the repository as the single source of truth.
The platform goes beyond basic string translation by supporting native localization file formats such as .xcstrings for iOS and strings.xml for Android. This eliminates the need for cumbersome spreadsheet cleanup, prevents broken builds, and removes the reliance on one-off scripts. String Catalog ensures that native localization files remain ready for merging, simplifying the release process.
Key capabilities include the localization of content that users and reviewers see before installation. This encompasses App Store and Google Play release notes, which can be managed within the same product, negating the need for separate documentation. Furthermore, it aids in keeping App Store and Google Play copy aligned with every launch. The tool facilitates the generation of localized store listing content, respecting platform-specific field limits, locale handling, and providing exportable outputs for growth teams.
String Catalog is built for teams that value their existing release processes. It removes localization overhead by connecting to the developer's chosen Git platform, allowing String Catalog to present reviewable updates. The process involves choosing languages, defining tone guidance, protecting brand terms, and ensuring reviewers have the necessary context for accurate translations. The platform emphasizes safe review processes, enabling clean diffs in Git, secure no-login review links for sensitive content, and retrying low-confidence translations before release.
Continuous localization is a core tenet, offering automation that respects source control, human judgment, and product voice. It provides AI speed with human checkpoints, including manual edits, secure review links, suggested fixes, and bulk acceptance. Compatibility with native formats ensures that Apple and Android localization assets, release notes, and store metadata retain their expected shapes for build, release, and growth workflows. Brand voice is preserved through protected terms, glossary rules, prompts, and brand voice guidance, ensuring new language launches feel consistent with the established product identity.
