Transglot for VS Code

See translations beside your source keys, find missing values, and keep localization files in sync with Transglot.

Features

Inline translations: CodeLens and hover for JSON flat, JSON nested, Laravel JSON and Flutter ARB files.
Missing values: diagnostics in the Problems panel for those JSON-family formats.
Edit translations: update a key’s value for a selected locale.
AI translation: start batches for missing, stale or all keys, with optional target locales.
Push and pull: synchronize files using the same transglot.json configuration as the CLI.
Project sidebar: inspect your project, configured locales and active batches.

Push, pull and AI translation support the server’s 20 localization formats. Inline annotations and diagnostics support only the four JSON-family formats above.

Supported format identifiers: json_flat, json_nested, android_xml, ios_strings, ios_stringsdict, flutter_arb, laravel_php, laravel_json, xliff_12, ios_xcstrings, gettext_po, yaml, csv, xlsx, xliff_20, java_properties, resx, markdown, unity_csv, unreal_po.

Requirements and pricing

The extension has no separate purchase price. Connecting to the hosted service requires a Transglot account, a project and a project access token on a paid plan (Starter or above). AI translation uses your workspace word allowance and billing settings. Check current pricing.

Setup

Mint a token. In the transglot web app, open your project's deploy/setup page and create a project access token (it starts with tgl_). Grant the abilities the extension uses: pull for file pulls, push for source uploads, read for inline translations, write for edits, and manage for AI batches. Missing abilities are handled gracefully: the extension tells you which one a feature needs.
Sign in. Run transglot: Sign in / set token and paste the token. It is stored in VS Code SecretStorage (the OS keychain), never in settings.json, and pinned to the server URL you signed into, so it is only ever sent back to that origin. HTTPS is required (plain http is allowed only for localhost), and the extension won't auto-connect in an untrusted workspace.

Point at your project. Either add a transglot.json to the workspace (same file the CLI uses) or set transglot.url in settings. Example:

{
  "url": "https://api.transglot.ai",
  "sources": [
    { "path": "locales/{locale}.json", "format": "json_nested", "locales": ["en", "fr", "de"] }
  ],
  "pull": [
    { "path": "locales/{locale}.json", "format": "json_nested" }
  ]
}

Settings

Setting	Description
`transglot.url`	Base server URL. Overrides the `url` in `transglot.json`.
`transglot.configPath`	Path to `transglot.json` (default `transglot.json`).
`transglot.webUrl`	Project web URL for Open project in web (the API doesn't expose your org slug, so set it manually).
`transglot.inlineTranslations.enabled`	Toggle inline CodeLens/hover.
`transglot.inlineTranslations.locales`	Restrict inline locales (empty = all target locales).
`transglot.diagnostics.enabled`	Toggle missing-translation diagnostics.

Privacy and security

The extension sends source files, translation requests and edits to the server you configure when you use those commands. It fetches translations to display inline and in the project view. Project tokens are stored in VS Code SecretStorage and pinned to the server URL; HTTPS is required except on localhost. Untrusted workspaces do not auto-connect or read project configuration.
