About Xpolyglot

Xpolyglot streamlines the app localization process by integrating directly into your Xcode workflow. Developers can import projects and manage multiple localization tasks in one centralized workspace, eliminating the friction of juggling separate tools and platforms. The application intelligently detects which strings have changed between versions and translates only the modified content, dramatically reducing translation time and costs compared to hiring professional translators for every update. Beyond string translation, Xpolyglot handles the complete metadata localization picture. App descriptions, keywords, and promotional content are automatically updated across all supported languages, ensuring your app maintains consistent messaging and maximizes discoverability in different regional markets. This comprehensive approach means your app presentation is optimized globally without manual intervention for each language variant. Version management becomes seamless with Xpolyglot's delta update system. When you release a new build, only the new or modified strings require translation, preserving previously translated content and reducing repetitive work. The application is notarized by Apple, confirming its security and legitimacy for macOS users. Note that Xpolyglot requires your own OpenAI API key to function, giving you control over translation processing while keeping infrastructure costs transparent.
