Case Study: Nextcloud achieves faster, more accurate localization and automated contributor collaboration with Transifex

NextCloud Automates Localization And Improves Collaboration For A Large Number Of Contributors

Nextcloud is an open-source, on-premises content collaboration platform that combines consumer-grade ease with enterprise security and is freely extensible by a global community. To expand into more markets the team needed to scale localization, coordinating and delegating work among many volunteer translators while integrating with GitHub and automating the workflow.

By adopting Transifex with GitHub integration, the tx command line, translation memory and global search, Nextcloud automated daily updates, improved consistency, and streamlined collaboration between developers and volunteers. The result was faster, more accurate translations and quicker localization into additional languages—an affordable way to manage a large, distributed contributor base.
