Really like the angle here, letting creators republish in new markets without reshoots is a clear win. What I’m curious about: which use case is converting best so far (YouTube creators, course makers, or brands repurposing explainers)? And what “activation moment” tends to predict retention — first fully dubbed upload, % watch time on the dubbed version, or a second language added?
A couple quick ideas that might compound: a 30-sec before/after clip that shows meaning + emotion preserved, lightweight pricing explainer tied to minutes/languages, and a few SEO pages for “dub my video to [language]” queries with real case studies.
P.S. I’m with Buzz — we build conversion-focused Webflow sites and pragmatic SEO for product launches. If helpful, happy to share a short GTM checklist.
This sounds super handy! 🙌 Dealing with scattered JSON files and manual syncing is such a pain — I’ve been there too. Love that you included screenshots for context and the AI-assisted translations; those alone feel like game changers. Congrats on launching! Dropping a link so folks can try it out?
Hey, thank you so much for the feedback! Im not allowed to post a link in the comments but you can press on Product and then Visit website. It has a free tier, so I would really appreciate any feedback after usage!
Really smart approach! Saving time on translations is huge. How well does the AI handle tricky phrases, or do you still rely on humans for the tough stuff?
Hey! Thank you for the feedback! Honestly it's really depends, sometimes AI is better and sometimes worse. I'm planning to make it better, one of the possible solutions would be to attach screenshots for AI as well, that way it can actually see interface context. Other possible solutions would be to allow codebase parsing during future CLI usage, so it could get more context as well. But the screenshots solution seems easier and faster to implement. For now I would probably use humans for tough stuff anyway (if you have resources)
Really impressed by this approach! One idea....adding AI-assisted glossary suggestions could keep tone and terminology consistent across tricky translations.
Hey, thank you! Yes, Im planning to add CLI which would automatically sync translation files inside project and dashboard. Plurals and variables are technically already supported because it stores pure JSON, so string values are normal strings and you can add {{variable}} inside and your framework would parse it. It worked fine with tests :)
Sounds great, happy that you have tested it already!
Oh and btw, we could partner up! Me and my team are building HustleAdvisor, a social network where entrepreneurs share practical step by step lessons. If you join the waitlist and later post a short write up about building Unlingo, we will boost it in the main feed so more people see it :)
You get: more users We get: an experienced entrepreneur on board
Good luck with the launch!
About
Software localization is needlessly complex and slows developers down. I built Unlingo to solve this, offering a simple, open-source platform to manage and deliver translations in minutes, not days.

Finally ....localization without the headache...

Nice work! By the way, you could add a CLI to find missing or unused keys, support ICU messages for plurals and variables :)
