Transcripto: Localizing Existing React Apps

🌐 Transcripto – Automated React Localization CLI

Localization often comes at the very end of development β€” and that’s when it feels the most painful.

Transcripto is a zero-configuration CLI that helps React developers localize their apps in seconds, even if the project is already near completion.

Built using lingo.dev, Transcripto automatically scans your React project, extracts user-facing UI text, and generates clean, production-ready translation files.


✨ What Transcripto Does

  • πŸ” Scans React projects for UI text
  • 🧠 Filters out technical strings (code, classes, file paths)
  • πŸ“ Generates clean i18n/*.json files
  • 🌐 AI-powered localization via lingo.dev
  • πŸ‘οΈ Real-time file watching & auto-translation
  • ⚑ Works out of the box (CI/CD friendly)

πŸš€ Installation

npm install -g transcripto-cli@latest
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

πŸ”§ Simple Workflow

transcripto init
transcripto scan
transcripto generate
transcripto watch-i18n
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

🌍 Powered by lingo.dev
lingo.dev handles high-quality localization so Transcripto can focus on developer experience:
Natural, developer-friendly translations
Easy scaling to new languages
Minimal setup and configuration
