Introducing Glossia: Continuous Translation for Modern Software Teams

Today, we’re thrilled to introduce Glossia, a virtual translator designed specifically for modern software teams. Glossia transforms how developers approach localization by making it as seamless as any other part of your CI/CD pipeline.

The Problem with Traditional Localization

Traditional localization workflows are broken. They involve:

• Manual file exports and imports
• Disconnected translation management systems
• Delayed feedback loops
• Version control nightmares
• Broken builds from translation errors

These pain points slow down development and create friction between engineering and localization teams.

Enter Continuous Translation

Glossia brings the principles of continuous integration to localization. Here’s how it works:

1. Install Once: Add Glossia to your repository with a single configuration file
2. Automatic Detection: Glossia monitors your codebase for translatable content
3. Continuous Processing: Translations happen automatically as you push code
4. Merge Queue Integration: All translations go through your existing quality gates
5. Zero Manual Intervention: Everything happens in the background

Built for Developers, By Developers

We’ve designed Glossia with software best practices in mind:

• Version Control Native: All translations are tracked in Git
• Branch-aware: Translations follow your branching strategy
• Quality Assured: Built-in validation prevents common translation bugs
• Format Agnostic: Support for all major localization formats
• API-first: Full programmatic control when you need it

Getting Started

Getting started with Glossia is as simple as:

# .glossia.yml
version: 1
languages:
  - es
  - fr
  - de
  - ja
sources:
  - pattern: "src/**/*.json"
    format: "i18n"

That’s it! Glossia will handle the rest, continuously translating your content and pushing updates through your merge queue.

What’s Next

This is just the beginning. We’re working on exciting features including:

• Context-aware translations using your codebase
• Automated screenshot capture for visual context
• Performance optimization for large codebases
• Advanced quality metrics and reporting
