Problems we solve

Stop wasting time on translation tasks that shouldn't be yours

Context Switching

No jumping between platforms and JSON files. Everything syncs automatically from your codebase.

Manual Syncing

Auto-sync on push, no export-import cycles. Push to main and translations are automatically updated.

Backlog Debt

AI handles the grunt work, you just approve. No more translation tickets piling up in your sprint.

Developer Pain Points

Real frustrations from the developer community — and how Better i18n solves them.

"YAML configuration hell — 200 lines of config just to add a new language"

— Dev.to
Better i18n Solution

Zero-config setup. Run bunx better-i18n init and start translating in under 5 minutes.

"Switching context between code and translation platform kills my flow state"

— Hacker News
Better i18n Solution

MCP tools and IDE integration let you manage translations without leaving your editor.

"Missing key errors only caught in production — our users see raw translation keys"

— Dev.to
Better i18n Solution

Type-safe SDKs catch missing keys at build time. CLI validates keys before deployment.
