AI Features

Locale Owl integrates AI-powered tools to accelerate your translation workflow. From auto-suggesting translations to quality review, AI handles the heavy lifting while your team focuses on nuance.

AI Translation

Generate translation suggestions powered by large language models. AI Translation understands context, preserves placeholders, and adapts tone to your brand.

How It Works

Open the Translation Editor and select a target language
Click the ✨ AI Suggest button next to any empty or outdated key
Review the suggestion — edit as needed, then save
Or use Batch AI Translate to process all untranslated keys at once

💡

AI suggestions preserve {variable} placeholders, HTML tags, and pluralization rules automatically.

Quality Review

AI Quality Review scans your translations for common issues:

Consistency — Flags different translations of the same term across keys
Placeholder integrity — Ensures {variables} are present in translations
Length warnings — Detects translations that are significantly longer/shorter than source
Tone matching — Verifies translations match your configured brand tone
Grammar & fluency — Catches awkward phrasing and grammatical errors

Glossary

Define term-specific translations to ensure consistency:

{
  "workspace": { "ja": "ワークスペース", "zh": "工作区" },
  "namespace": { "ja": "ネームスペース", "zh": "命名空间" },
  "branch": { "ja": "ブランチ", "zh": "分支" }
}

Tone & Style

Set guidelines for your brand voice:

Formal — Professional, suitable for enterprise products
Casual — Friendly and conversational
Technical — Precise, using industry terminology
Custom — Provide your own prompt instructions

Context Instructions

Add project-level context to improve translation quality:

This is a developer-focused localization platform called "Locale Owl".
Keep the brand name "Locale Owl" untranslated in all languages.
Use formal tone for documentation but casual tone for marketing copy.
Technical terms like "CDN", "API", "SDK" should remain in English.
