How to do things inside locoloop, in the order you will need them. Everything here is a page you can follow end to end — nothing on this site describes a feature that does not exist.

Get started

In order. About an hour from an empty workspace to translations in your build.

  1. 1Create a workspace and a platformA platform is one app: its key namespace, its file format, its languages. How platforms and projects fit together.
  2. 2Import your English fileDrag it in. The format is detected from the file, nested keys keep their path, and anything unreadable is reported rather than skipped. The ten formats.
  3. 3Set the glossary and the registerDo this before the first translation pass, not after. Glossary and context · Formality registers.
  4. 4Translate, then have a human approveAI drafts arrive flagged for review. Reviewers are free, so the colleague who speaks the language costs nothing to invite. Roles and permissions.
  5. 5Wire it into your buildOne push job, one pull job, and a status check that gates the release. All integrations.
