[For CTOs & heads of engineering]

Global from day one, without the localization tax.

Translation as a CLI and an API — no localization team, no enterprise TMS contract, no vendor lock-in. Files you own, a CLI you run, a hosted API you don’t have to babysit.

[01]The difference

Build it, buy a TMS, or run it yourself.

The two traditional paths both cost you quarters. There's a third.

Legacy TMS / in-house i18n

Months integrating an enterprise TMS, or an engineer owning i18n infra forever
Per-seat, per-word pricing that punishes growth
Your source strings live in a vendor's cloud, exportable only on their terms
"AI-powered quality" you have to take on faith

Polyglot

A CLI and an API your team adopts in an afternoon
Flat monthly plans with free reviewer seats
Plain JSON in your repo — exportable by definition
A reproducible benchmark you can re-run yourself
[02]Auditable quality

Quality claims you can verify, not just trust.

Every vendor says “AI-powered translation quality.” We published the receipts: 4,900 translations of real UI strings from our June 2026 pipeline, scored by three AI judges from other model families, with the dataset and judge prompts open-sourced so you can re-judge our outputs with a model of your choosing.

4.96/5 overall quality across 49 languages (June 2026, AI-judged)
94.5% top score; 100% preserved every code placeholder

[03]Control & security

Your strings, your repo, your call.

Localization shouldn’t mean handing a third party permanent custody of your product’s copy. Your outputs are plain files in your own repo, and the GitHub Action and benchmark harness are open source. The hosted backend receives the strings you send for translation, with their context — and catalog data only if you turn on catalog sync.

[05]Capabilities

What your engineers stop doing

Polyglot collapses a category of recurring work that otherwise never goes away.

01

No i18n infrastructure to maintain

Detection, translation memory, glossary enforcement, and CI gating are the product — not a system one of your engineers has to build and babysit.

02

No localization vendor to manage

No back-and-forth with an agency, no string export/import dance, no waiting days for a turnaround on a one-word change.

03

No silent regressions

New untranslated strings get caught in CI like any other check, and every generated translation waits for human review before it ships.

[06] Questions

What CTOs ask before adopting

Source strings are sent to the translation provider only to produce the translation and are not retained long-term; your translation outputs and source files live in your own repository. If you need tighter operational control, tell us what your requirements are.

[07]Pricing

Pricing that grows with you.

Start with the CLI and open GitHub Action on any plan. Team adds managed checks, catalog sync, and verified translation PRs.
