How do you keep docs and UI strings translated as the source changes?

A localization AI Employee connected to your repository and your translation memory. When source docs or UI strings change, it translates just what moved, reuses your approved wording, and opens a PR in each target language for a reviewer to merge.

Problem

Translations are always a step behind the source. An engineer updates a UI string or edits a docs page, the change ships in the base language, and the translated versions quietly fall out of sync. The gap is invisible until a customer reads a screen where half the labels are in the wrong language or a help page describes a flow that no longer exists. Catching up is tedious and easy to defer. Someone has to diff the source against each language, find exactly what changed, translate only those pieces, and keep the terminology consistent with everything already shipped: the product names, the tone, the phrasing decisions made months ago. That last part is the work translation memory exists for, and the part that gets lost when changes are retranslated by hand under deadline.

What it does

The localization PR AI Employee is triggered on a source change. It finds the docs and UI strings that moved since the last translated version, translates just those, and draws on your translation memory so approved wording and terminology stay consistent. It opens a pull request per target language for a reviewer to merge. Its only write is the translation branch, and it never merges or publishes.

How it works

See exactly how the work gets done.

Triggers on a source change

A change to the source docs or string files starts an isolated run inside your own environment with the repository permissions you set for it.

Carries your localization playbook

The target languages, which files are translatable, terms to leave untranslated, and tone travel with it as skills and memory.

Finds only what moved

It diffs the source against each language's last translated version and scopes the work to exactly the strings and passages that changed, not a full retranslation.

Reuses your translation memory

It looks up approved wording and terminology in your translation memory so product names, phrasing, and tone match everything you've already shipped. Credentials stay in memory, never exposed to the model.

Read on the repo, write only the branch

It reads the source and the existing translations; its only write is the translation branch it opens. It changes nothing else in the repository.

Opens a PR per language for review

The updated translations come back as a pull request in each target language, showing the source change alongside it. A reviewer owns the merge.

Guardrails

Runs in your environment

Every run is isolated inside your own infrastructure, reaching only the repository and translation memory it's scoped to. Your data never leaves.

Read on the repo, write only the branch

It reads the source and existing translations, and its only write is the translation branch it opens for review.

Never merges or publishes

It opens a PR per language; it never merges, releases, or ships a translation itself. The reviewer's signature is required to merge.

Credentials stay in memory

Repository and translation memory credentials live only in the run's memory, never written to disk and never exposed to the model.

You own every rule

The target languages, the do not translate terms, and the approved terminology are yours, versioned and changed on your terms, not in a vendor dashboard.

The outcome

The translations that used to lag the source now arrive as a reviewable PR per language, scoped to exactly what changed and consistent with everything already shipped. Reviewers approve a focused diff instead of hunting for what fell out of sync.

On every source change

The strings and docs that moved are translated automatically
