Question 1

How Connected Projects work in the background?

Accepted Answer

Connected Projects feature is powered by Localazy® InTM technology. It’s a pro-active translation memory that scans your app and looks for the same phrases in the source language with missing translations in other languages. If there is a missing translation that could be completed from another source, it’s offered through our unique review process.

Question 2

How to configure Connected Projects?

Accepted Answer

Activate the Professional plan to unlock the Connected Projects feature for your projects. Then select the projects you want to connect and you are done!

The connection is bi-directional and transitive. Meaning that connected projects mutually receive translations from each other. Also, if project A is connected to B, and B is connected to project C, then A might also receive translations from C and vice versa.

Question 3

Which localizable file format conversions do you support?

Accepted Answer

Localazy supports all major format conversions from Android XML and iOS .strings through multilingual JSON to XLIFF, qt-ts, and many more formats. You can learn more about supported file format conversions in the documentation.

Question 4

How can I convert different localization file formats?

Accepted Answer

In the File Management section of Localazy, when downloading your files, you can select the desired format and download your strings in any of the available file formats.

Format Conversions feature is also an integral part of the Localazy CLI tool, so if you want to automate format conversions, you will need to install Localazy CLI on your preferred platform.

Accepted Answer

Question 12

How can Localazy help me solve duplicities in the project?

Accepted Answer

Your projects can often contain multiple keys with the same content. Be it button labels across a large-scale information system, including keys on the backend and frontend or Android vs. iOS versions of your app. There are two ways to approach duplicate keys with Localazy.

The first option to consider when you have two or more projects that contain duplicities is to use the Connected Projects feature, which is available with the Professional plan. Connected Projects can help you by translating identical keys across multiple projects. This feature is great for a portfolio of projects sharing duplicate keys or Android and iOS versions of the same app. When enabled, Localazy distributes existing translations between connected projects and automatically decides whether the translation can be used right away or needs to go through review first.

For a robust duplicity management that can work with duplicities inside one project and across multiple projects as well, we recommend the Duplicity Linking feature, available with the Agency plan. With duplicity linking, you can define one key as the source for all other keys with the same or similar content. The other keys are then marked as hidden and get their translation from the linked key.

Question 13

Can I merge two duplicate source keys so they can share the same translation?

Accepted Answer

Sure! If you can’t or don’t want to rename the keys to use the same name in the source integration, you can use the Duplicity Linking feature when you don’t want to alter the source, so the keys will share their translations.

Localizing a large project can result in creating duplicated keys, which becomes hard to manage, especially when multiple teams work on the same project. Localazy offers a solution called Duplicity Linking that allows you to reuse translations across linked keys in all languages and even across several projects.

Duplicity Linking is available in the Agency plan

The feature links multiple different keys with the same content, with one source key acting as the content source and the others as the linked keys. The linked keys retain their own values and translations, but when the link is active, and their translation value is retrieved, the content source key value is used instead for all languages. Removing the link restores the linked key to its original behavior.
