App interface strings translation (JSON, XML, PO)

About this service

We translate the interface strings of your app or software while keeping the file structure intact: keys stay untouched, and placeholders such as %s, %d, {name} and HTML tags stay exactly where they belong. Plural forms are handled for languages that need more than two, like Russian, Polish or Arabic. Short UI strings such as buttons and tabs are kept within length so they fit the screen.

What is included

  • What you getThe translated strings in the same format you sent (JSON, XML, PO, .strings or YAML) with keys and placeholders unchanged, plus a glossary and notes on strings that may be too long.

What we need from you

The string file content pasted into the brief, the target language, screenshots for context where meaning is unclear and any length limits.

We will ask you:

  • Which file format are the strings in?
  • Which language are we translating into?
  • Should the app address users formally or informally?
  • Are there strings with strict length limits?

Questions and answers

Can I upload the JSON or XML file?

Paste the file content into the brief as text. You get it back in the same format, ready to save.

Will the translation break my build?

We keep keys, placeholders and escapes as they were and check them, but run your usual checks before release.

Some strings are unclear without context. What then?

Add screenshots or a comment next to the key. Where it is still ambiguous, we note our choice.
