Wiki.js connected brains globally using community contributions
Wiki.js is an open-source platform designed for documentation and knowledge-sharing. It empowers developers and teams to create content using Markdown, AsciiDoc, or a visual editor, facilitating accessibility for users worldwide.
The Challenge
Originally created in English, Wiki.js needed to offer its user interface in multiple locales to serve its global user base in their preferred language. The platform relied on its community for this, but it was too complex to manage translations from contributors. Ultimately, an easier method was needed to handle changes and review submissions.
The Solution
Localazy allowed the Wiki.js team to set up a user-friendly working space where all submissions were centralized. The integration through Localazy CLI and API simplified the entire process: new and updated translations were automatically pulled daily from different installations and stored in GitHub, reducing the manual workload and making the review process easier.
The Result
Wiki.js now supports 56 languages that are regularly updated. Localazy made it easier for contributors to help with translations and reduced the difficulty of managing them, leading to a smoother experience for its global community. The team was also able to improve their overall localization process, allowing quicker distribution and better coordination.
