Built by engineers who shipped broken strings too many times

Our story

Why we built Lingowright

In 2021, Sofia Marchetti was leading the i18n effort on a fintech product that needed to ship in twelve locales simultaneously. The team tried three different TMS tools. Each one stripped ICU plural blocks from every {count, plural, one{...} other{...}} string. Each one let German button labels overflow the 30-character limit without a warning. The manual QA cycle to catch these issues added two weeks to every release.

The observation was precise: existing tools treat a string as a text fragment. They don't know it's a CTA button with a 28-character limit. They don't know the {{first_name}} is a template variable that must survive translation intact. Lingowright was built around that distinction.

Lingowright does not replace professional translators or post-edit review for regulated or high-stakes copy. It handles the engineering layer — the part where variables get stripped, plural forms get collapsed, and buttons overflow — so that when a human translator does review, they're reviewing meaning, not fixing broken syntax.

Product engineering teams and localization leads use Lingowright because they need translations that fit their UI — not translations that technically exist.
