Question 1

How to integrate Tolgee for in-context translations in a React app?

Accepted Answer

Install the @tolgee/react package, configure it with your Tolgee instance, and wrap your app with TolgeeProvider. The README links to package-specific documentation for detailed setup steps.

Question 2

Is Tolgee better than i18next for localization?

Accepted Answer

Tolgee offers integrated in-context editing and a backend platform, ideal for teams needing visual management. i18next is a standalone library with a larger ecosystem, better for projects without platform integration.

Question 3

Does Tolgee JS work with static site generators like Next.js?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but features like in-context editing are client-side and may require dynamic runtime. For static sites, consider Tolgee's capabilities for pre-rendered content versus live editing.

Question 4

Can I use Tolgee without the backend platform?

Accepted Answer

Core i18n features might work standalone, but in-context editing and screenshot generation require the Tolgee platform. The README emphasizes it as an all-in-one solution, so full functionality depends on integration.

Question 5

What are the performance costs of using Tolgee JS?

Accepted Answer

It adds client-side scripts for in-context features, increasing bundle size. For performance-critical apps, evaluate lazy loading or whether the platform overhead aligns with your needs.

Question 6

How does automated screenshot generation work in Tolgee?

Accepted Answer

Tolgee captures app states when translations are edited, providing visual context for translators. This is built into the platform, as mentioned in the key features, to reduce ambiguity in translations.
