What is TextSetu?
TextSetu is a translation management platform (TMS). It is the single place where a team manages all the text in their product across every language they ship in. Instead of emailing spreadsheets back and forth, juggling JSON files, or copy- pasting strings into a dozen.po files, your whole team works in one shared,
structured workspace:
- Developers define translation keys and pull finished translations back out in whatever file format their app expects.
- Translators fill in those keys language-by-language in a fast, spreadsheet- like grid, with glossary and translation-memory suggestions guiding them.
- Reviewers / managers approve or reject proposed translations, track progress, and keep terminology consistent.
The problem it solves
Localization breaks down in predictable ways:Who it’s for
- Localization / product managers who own the process, track completion, and manage who can do what.
- Translators (in-house or external) who do the actual translating.
- Reviewers / approvers who sign off on quality.
- Developers who integrate the translations into the product.
What you can do with it
- Organize work into organizations, projects, and teams.
- Manage translation keys and their values across unlimited languages.
- Gate changes behind an approval workflow (proposals → review → publish).
- Work on isolated branches and merge them, just like code.
- Maintain a glossary of do-not-translate, forbidden, and preferred terms.
- Reuse past work via translation memory (TM).
- Catch mistakes automatically with quality checks (QA).
- See history on every value and roll back to any prior version.
- Import and export in 40+ formats (JSON, XLIFF, CSV, Android XML, Apple
.strings, Gettext PO, ARB,.xcstrings, YAML, RESX, and many more). - Track progress and contributor activity with built-in analytics.
