Elm app internationalization and localization

Elm is a domain-specific programming language for declaratively creating web browser-based graphical user interfaces. Elm is purely functional, and is developed with emphasis on usability, performance, and robustness.

🔗Best way to localize Elm apps

The first step is to extract the text to translate into language files. This process is called internationalization. The library elm-i18next can be used for that.

Once you have internationalized your Elm app, use a translation software localization tool such as WebTranslateIt to manage your localization workflow.

It is easy to translate an Elm app with WebTranslateIt. Create a project, upload your source language file in the File Manager and translate it on the Translation Interface.

The tools included in WebTranslateIt, such as Batch Operations, the Translation Memory or Machine Translation can help you translate that file automatically, faster and cost effectively.
