TypeGlotThe Type-Safe i18n Toolchain

Quick Start ​

# Initialize TypeGlot in your project
npx typeglot init

# Build typed translations
npx typeglot build

# Start development mode
npx typeglot dev

Why TypeGlot? ​

Tired of paying $120/month for cloud translation platforms that give you magic strings and sync headaches? TypeGlot is different.

🎯 Best-in-Breed Type Safety ​

TypeGlot is the only i18n solution that gives you real TypeScript types:

// ❌ Traditional i18n - magic strings, runtime errors
t('user.welcome', { name: userName }); // typo? wrong param? 💥 at runtime

// ✅ TypeGlot - fully typed, compile-time safe
m.user_welcome({ name: userName }); // ✨ autocomplete, type checking, refactoring

💎 Zero Vendor Lock-In, Zero Fees ​

• No cloud sync - Your Git repo is the source of truth
• No subscription fees - Install once, use forever
• No sync anxiety - What you commit is what runs in production
• Works offline - No internet? No problem.

🧠 Context is King ​

Traditional platforms make translators guess. TypeGlot gives AI the full picture:

/**
 * @desc Button shown in checkout. User clicks to finalize purchase.
 * Should create urgency and be action-oriented.
 * @example "Complete Your Order", "Finish Purchase Now"
 */
const checkoutButton = m.checkout_complete();

Your JSDoc comments travel with the key, giving AI models the context they need for perfect translations.

🚀 Built for Developers ​

• Watch mode - instant recompilation
• Local UI - beautiful dashboard that runs locally
• VS Code extension - inline previews, AI translation, quick fixes
• CLI-first - automate everything in CI/CD

Better Than Cloud Platforms? ​

For developers who value type safety and Git workflows? Absolutely.

For large enterprises needing translation agencies and complex workflows? Maybe not yet.
