Polyglot documentation
Start with one real screen, understand the proposed patch, then keep subsequent copy changes localized.
These guides use CLI 0.14.7 and the extension 0.7.7 workflow. Install or update the CLI before starting. Confirm that polyglot start --help and polyglot wrap --help expose saved plans. In VS Code, use an extension build that includes Localize one screen and run Update CLI if your selected binary is older.
Download the extension below, then open the VS Code Command Palette and run Extensions: Install from VSIX. Select the downloaded file.
Your first working screen
- Discover the app, runtime, catalog and locale strategy.
- Prepare and review one complete saved plan, then apply that exact patch.
- Translate or pseudo-localize, run the actual screen and exercise its interactions.
- Finish the manual remainder, inspect recovery and keep the patch deliberately.
Local discovery, planning and wrapping work without an account. Hosted translation and reviewed publication introduce authentication when you need those services. Start with the version requirements and interactive guide below.
