We’re excited to announce the release of the Transifex and Rigi integration, giving teams a new way to bring visual context into the localization process.
With this integration, translators can work in the Transifex Editor while using the Rigi Viewer to see where strings appear in the actual product or website UI. This helps teams translate with more confidence, reduce ambiguity, and improve the quality of localized content.
What’s new?
The integration supports two workflows, depending on where your localization content is managed.
1. Send Rigi content to Transifex
Use this workflow when your source content is managed in Rigi and you want translators to translate it in Transifex.
Rigi sends source content to Transifex as Rigi XLIFF files. These files include the metadata needed for the Rigi Viewer to display the selected string in its correct UI context during translation.
Once translations are completed in Transifex, they are automatically sent back to Rigi when the target language reaches 100% translated.
2. Use Rigi Viewer with content stored only in Transifex
Use this workflow when your source content is managed in Transifex and you want to add visual context through Rigi.
In this setup, Rigi uses pseudo-language files and captured previews to connect each Transifex string with its location in the product or website UI. Translators can then open the Rigi Previewer directly from the Transifex Editor and view the selected string in context.
Why this matters
Visual context is one of the most important parts of high-quality localization. By connecting Transifex with Rigi, teams can:
-
Help translators understand where and how each string appears
-
Reduce context-related translation issues
-
Improve review quality with better visibility into the UI
-
Keep translation work centralized in Transifex
-
Support workflows where content starts either in Rigi or directly in Transifex
