Alconost Teams Up with Tolgee to Revolutionize Developer-Centric Localization Workflows

Alconost, a leading localization company, and Tolgee, a developer-friendly open-source translation platform, have joined forces to solve a common problem: making app translation less painful for software teams. Alconost's linguists bring native language skills and industry expertise directly into the tools developers already use, helping teams launch in global markets faster, more budget-friendly, and with better-quality translations.

Why This Partnership Matters for Dev Teams

This partnership brings together Alconost's translation know-how (they've been at it since 2004) with Tolgee's modern developer tools. If you're building with React, Angular, Vue, or similar frameworks, you can now send text for translation and get it back without ever leaving your workflow. No more spreadsheets, no more context confusion, and no more delays in your release cycle.

Here's what makes this partnership special:

1. Order Translations Right Where You Code: Need your app translated? Just click in Tolgee, choose Alconost, and get professional translations back in your project files (JSON, .strings, YAML) without switching tools.
2. Smart Mix of AI and Human Expertise: Alconost uses AI to speed things up and human translators to ensure everything sounds natural. This cuts costs by up to 50% without sacrificing quality.
3. Always-Updated Translations: As you update your code, translations stay in sync. Translators see exactly how text appears in your app, so everything fits and makes sense - crucial when shipping updates frequently.

What the Teams Are Saying

Alexandr Murauski, CEO of Alconost, on why this matters:

We've heard from developers for years about how translation typically disrupts their workflow. With Tolgee, we can meet them where they already work. No more exporting files, emailing agencies, and waiting days for quotes. A developer or product manager can now get their app speaking a dozen new languages as easily as they merge code.

Jan Cizmar, Co-Founder of Tolgee, on how it came together:

We decided to kick this out with Alconost, as they also helped us with the UI of this feature and guided us in doing it correctly and not overcomplicating this in the first iteration.

Real Solutions for Different Industries
Here's how teams are already using this integration:

Software & SaaS Teams
- Making Docs Developer-Friendly Everywhere: Technical writers can now get API docs and help articles translated by people who understand both code and different languages, keeping all syntax intact.
- Staying Compliant Without the Hassle: Fintech and legal software teams can securely translate regulatory content and maintain audit trails without slowing down development.

Game Developers
- Getting Games Right for Every Culture: Game developers can see precisely how UI elements appear in various languages and get help in adapting storylines and dialogue for different regions.

- Keeping Product Info Current Everywhere: Marketing teams can update product descriptions in 120+ languages as inventory changes, with translations that actually help with local SEO.

2. Get a Quick Quote: Alconost's team responds within 2 hours with pricing and a timeline (they use AI to help calculate fair pricing).
3. Translation Happens: Professional translators who understand your industry work on your content, seeing it in context exactly as it appears in your app.
4. Get Back to Building: Translated files automatically arrive in your project and are ready to use.
