The challenge

Why YAML translation gets messy

  • Text for users often sits next to configuration values
  • Manual copy-and-paste makes mistakes easy to miss
  • Comments and context are separated from the final translation work
  • Product labels can drift between apps, websites, and documentation
  • Developers spend extra time checking files before release
  • Small content updates create repeated translation work

The solution

How TextUnited handles YAML safely

  • Focuses translators on the text that needs localization
  • Keeps technical parts of the file out of the translation path
  • Shows teams what changed between file versions
  • Reuses approved wording when the same strings appear again
  • Keeps terminology aligned across related localization files
  • Gives reviewers one place to approve content before export

How it works

From YAML upload to reviewed translation

A simple workflow for teams that need translated YAML content without turning file preparation into a developer task.

1Step 1

Upload YAML files

Add one or multiple .yaml or .yml files to your workspace.

2Step 2

Translate the content

Use AI translation, terminology, and translation memory to create a first localized version.

3Step 3

Review in context

Let translators, developers, and subject experts check wording before release.

4Step 4

Export for implementation

Download localized YAML files your team can move into the next build or content update.

Consistent product language

Feature names, buttons, labels, and branded terms stay aligned across every market.

Cleaner handoff

Developers, translators, and reviewers work from the same source instead of passing files around.

Faster first drafts

AI gives teams a strong starting point, while human review keeps important wording under control.

Easier updates

New file versions can focus attention on changed content instead of the whole file.

Controlled workspace

Sensitive product and content files stay inside a managed localization environment.
