## What it is
Lingo.dev is an open-source localization engineering toolkit that turns LLMs into stateful translation APIs, persisting glossaries, brand voice, and per-locale model chains. It ships a CLI, React compiler, MCP server, and CI/CD integrations (GitHub App, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Bitbucket) for consistent, production-grade translations across apps, docs, and content.

## Use cases
- automate app translations into multiple languages
- set up i18n in a Next.js app with an AI coding agent
- keep translation files in sync with code via CI/CD
- translate a Zendesk Help Center automatically
- enforce consistent terminology and brand voice across locales
- translate React and React Native apps
- run localization as part of a pull request workflow

## When to choose
- you want AI-powered translations with persistent glossary and brand voice context
- you need continuous localization integrated into GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket pipelines
- you want an MCP server to guide AI agents through i18n setup
- you ship to many locales and want localization treated as engineering infrastructure

## When to avoid
- you need fully offline translation without a cloud platform or API key
- you rely exclusively on human translators and a traditional TMS workflow
- you need a platform other than the supported web frameworks or CI systems
