Lokalise workflow

Lokalise is a continuous localization and translation management platform. It integrates into development workflow and automates localization process.

Lokalise workflow:

  1. Upload english strings (qml_en.ts) to Lokalise project. This is done automatically, Lokalise auto-pull changes done to master's qml_en.ts file
  2. Translate strings to target languages. Target languages are driven by Lokalise configuration. Translations are done by community
  3. Export *.ts files with translations (e.g. qml_de.ts, qml_en.ts)
  4. Create pull request with exported translations
