What problem does it solve?
Helps teams design and operationalize internationalization and localization so applications behave correctly across languages, regions, and cultural contexts, reducing costly rework and user friction in new markets.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Architecture guidance: externalize all user-visible strings, choose file formats, and design a locale-aware folder structure.
- Formatting & pluralization: recommends ICU message formats and locale-aware date, time, number, and currency handling.
- RTL & layout readiness: outlines mirrored layouts, logical CSS properties, icon flipping, and RTL testing strategies.
- App Store prioritization: advises on localizing store listings first to measure impact before full app translation.
- Tools & QA: suggests libraries and services (react-i18next, next-intl, Lokalise) and recommends pseudo-localization and automated tests.
- Use Case: Plan a phased rollout that starts with App Store localization for top markets, then implement string extraction, translation workflow, and RTL verification.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to audit the codebase for hardcoded strings, propose an i18n file structure, and produce a prioritized localization plan for target markets.
