AppUFO is a macOS application designed to streamline the localization of iOS apps. It allows developers to import their Xcode .xcstrings string catalogs and translate them into 36+ languages using AI, with features like glossary support, reverse translation, and the ability to bring your own AI key. The app is built for developers who want to expand their app's reach into international markets without the high cost and time typically associated with localization.
Key features include:
- Drag & Drop Localization: Simply drop your .xcstrings file into AppUFO, and it handles the translation process automatically.
- 36+ Languages: Supports a wide range of languages, enabling developers to target multiple markets simultaneously.
- App-aware Context: The AI understands the context of your app, ensuring translations are appropriate and natural.
- Character Limits: Set character limits for phrases to ensure translations fit within your UI, preventing layout issues.
- Protect Brand Names: Keep specific words untranslated across all languages to maintain brand consistency.
- Reverse Translate: Use Apple Translate to reverse-check translations, especially useful for languages you don't speak.
AppUFO is particularly useful for indie developers and small teams who need to localize their apps quickly and affordably. It stands out by offering a one-time purchase option with a lifetime license, as well as subscription plans that include AI translations without requiring API keys. The app also supports unlimited apps and languages, making it a scalable solution for developers with multiple products.
