GitHub: Automate File Translation with the Localize GitHub Integration

Yes. The integration is powered by a GitHub App which safely gatekeeps personal information and account access.

The Localize GitHub integration stores a GitHub-generated authentication token that allows Localize to access your specified repo. We do not have access to personal credentials.

Each time a change is committed to your source file within the configured branch, GitHub will notify Localize. Localize will then re-import this updated file and create or update phrases as needed.

Since everyone’s workflows are different, we let you choose between delivery options. You can always press the Deliver Now button to send the most recent translations to your repository within your GitHub account. Localize can also check for updates on a schedule that you configure and will automatically upload if new translations are detected.

When Localize delivers new translations a pull request is opened against the latest commit on your configured branch. This commit will contain one file of translations per language configured in the project. This gives you control to approve and merge on your schedule.

Yes. You can see a running history listed on your file import/export page. If for any reason Localize cannot process your source file, detailed errors will be displayed to help you troubleshoot.
