Locale Engine

19 locales. One pipeline. Zero manual plural rules.

The Locale Engine handles every locale-specific rule automatically — from Arabic 6-form plurals to CJK line-height adjustments to Hebrew RTL directionality metadata.

Engine capabilities

Handles the hard parts of every locale

RTL layout signals

Arabic and Hebrew outputs include dir="rtl" metadata and Unicode bidirectional marks where needed. Your React-i18n, gettext, or iOS LocalizedString pipeline reads this natively.

CLDR plural forms

Each locale's plural categories per the Unicode CLDR spec — zero/one/two/few/many/other — are generated where applicable. Arabic gets all 6 forms. Russian gets the correct few/many split.

CJK typography metadata

CJK locale outputs (Japanese, Korean, Chinese) include recommended line-height ratios and word-break hints. Your CSS can read these hints to prevent CJK text overflow.

CI/CD push workflow

New strings in your PR? The Locale Engine detects the diff and translates only changed keys. Output files land in your repo via a GitHub PR or are synced to Contentful automatically.

CI/CD integration

Plug into your existing pipeline

The Locale Engine connects to your GitHub repo. When you merge a string change, Lingowright opens a PR with translated output files in all 19 locales — ready to merge alongside your code.

No new deploy step. No localization meeting. The PR is part of your normal review flow.
