The first developer-oriented translation tool
100% open-source, awesome CLI, supports major file formats and live editing.
Agile workflow
As a developer, you should never be afraid to upload files in Accent. Conflicts and override mistakes are now things of the past.
Tracability
See all your project activity in a simple timeline. Every operation is rollbackable so it’s easy to fix a mistake and return to a previous version of a text.
Accessible API
The webapp and CLI are 100% powered by the API. This makes it easy to add extension and integration from your favorite tools.
Everything you need as a reviewer
Collaboration
Use Accent to centralize your discussions around the strings. The interface makes it easy to follow conversations and see which strings are being discussed right now.
Search
Powerful (yet simple) search feature makes finding the right string an easy task.
Smart languages
Languages are working together in a master/slave relationship to provide better insights on which strings have changed and need to be reviewed again. Languages are tracked and not treated as simple file copies.
History
Rollback, inspect and filter the project’s history with precious details. Never miss an update or an operation that has been made to your files.
Everything you need as a developer
GraphQL API
Accent web app uses 100% of the GraphQL API, no custom endpoints or hand-rolled JSON API confusing implementation! This makes it trivial to build native apps or framework integrations.
Integrations
Webhooks or direct integration with Slack makes it easy to keep track of changes or build tools around Accent.
Command-line interface
Accent comes with a CLI tool. The CLI is actually a wrapper of
curlcommands ;) It really shows how easy it can be integrated to your workflow.
Multi formats
Upload iOS strings file and export an Android XML file! Use YAML in your Rails project but your translator uses a Gettext translation tool only available on Windows XP? No problem! Upload and export any format you want — comments, string order and state will follow everywhere.
How is Accent different the other translation tools?
Try the following workflows with your favorite translation service (named TranslateApp for the demonstration)
Auto-correct feature
- 1. Upload a file in TranslateApp
- 2. Modify strings inside the service: Translate a key, mark it as reviewed…
- 3. Re-upload the same file in TranslateApp
If the string has been reverted to the file version, this will become an issue with the developer and the translator/reviewer. To have the translator works being overriden by the developer who has not pull the latest translations in his project is counter-productive.
Conflict on text updates
- 1. Upload a file in TranslateApp
- 2. Modify strings inside the service: Translate a key, mark it as reviewed…
- 3. Modify strings inside your file
- 4. Re-upload the same file in TranslateApp
If the string has not changed in the app, this will become an issue with the developer and the translator/reviewer. A string that has been marked as reviewed in TranslateApp needs to be flagged as "changed" if the developer changes its original value.
