Xpolyglot

Xpolyglot by FiveSheep is an AI-powered localization tool for Xcode projects that helps you globalize your app faster. It streamlines App Store submissions and opens your app to world markets by providing automated translation, metadata management, and streamlined version updates. It supports importing Xcode projects, managing multiple localization projects in one place, and leveraging AI to localize string catalogs with delta updates to minimize cost.

How to Use Xpolyglot

1. Import your Xcode project. Bring your project into Xpolyglot with a few clicks for seamless integration.
2. Localize your strings. Use Magic.xcstrings powered by AI to translate your string catalog. An OpenAI API key is required.
3. Rely on delta updates. Xpolyglot detects changed strings and translates only what is new or modified, saving time and money.
4. Manage metadata. Painlessly globalize App Store Connect descriptions and keywords across all supported languages.
5. Publish and update. Create new versions and translate the What's New section into target languages to keep users informed.

Note: Xpolyglot requires a separate OpenAI API key (obtainable at openai.com).
