Tolgee Overview

Tolgee MCP server connects AI coding assistants to the Tolgee localization platform for translation management from an editor. It supports searching keys, creating and updating translations, managing languages, and triggering machine translation. Reach for it when localization work needs to happen alongside application development rather than through separate platform navigation. Tolgee can be used with either its hosted service or a self-hosted instance, according to the project setup.

Primary Use Cases for Tolgee:
  • Search localization keys while editing application code
  • Create translations for newly added strings
  • Update existing translations from an AI coding assistant
  • Manage project languages during localization work
