Quick Start

Localization engines

These tools connect to localization engines – stateful translation APIs you create on the Lingo.dev localization engineering platform. Each engine persists glossaries, brand voice, and per-locale instructions across every request, reducing terminology errors 16.6–44.6%. Or bring your own LLM.

Lingo.dev MCP

Setting up i18n in React apps is error-prone – even AI coding assistants hallucinate non-existent APIs and break routing. Lingo.dev MCP gives AI assistants structured access to framework-specific i18n knowledge for Next.js, React Router, and TanStack Start. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot Agents, and Codex.

Lingo.dev CLI

Localize JSON, YAML, markdown, CSV, and PO files in one command. A lockfile tracks what’s already localized – only new or changed content gets processed. Defaults to your localization engine on Lingo.dev, or bring your own LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, OpenRouter, Ollama).

npx lingo.dev@latest init
npx lingo.dev@latest run

Lingo.dev CI/CD

Continuous localization in your pipeline. Every push triggers localization – missing strings get filled before code reaches production. Supports GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, and Bitbucket Pipelines.

Lingo.dev API

Call your localization engine directly from backend code. Synchronous and async localization with webhook delivery, failure isolation per locale, and real-time progress via WebSocket.

Lingo Compiler for React (Early alpha)

Build-time React localization without i18n wrappers. Write components with plain English text – the compiler detects translatable strings and generates localized variants at build time. No translation keys, no JSON files, no t() functions. Supports Next.js (App Router) and Vite + React.
