Who buys this
Small teams shipping a product in four languages who currently paste strings into a translator and lose the meaning of every button.
Where to start in Lovable
Paste this into Lovable as the opening prompt. It sets up one screen and one job, which is easier to grow from.
Build a translation workspace for product text. Import a JSON or CSV of source strings with a key, a screenshot link and a note about where the string appears. Translate into the target languages with a glossary of terms that must never change and a length limit per key so the layout survives. Show source and target side by side, mark strings that changed since the last export, and let a reviewer approve per language. Export back in the same file shape.

Build order
- Context is the whole quality gap. Send the screen name, the element type and the neighbouring strings with every key. The word Save on a button and Save in a sentence are different words in most languages.
- Glossary before style. Product nouns, plan names and legal terms must be locked per language. Inconsistent terminology is what makes localisation look amateur, not clumsy grammar.
- Enforce length at generation time. German and Portuguese run long, so a button breaks. Pass a character budget per key and regenerate until it fits, instead of discovering it in the interface.
- Track only what changed. Hash the source string. On the next import, translate the changed keys and leave the rest alone. This turns a monthly panic into a ten minute job.
Where this usually breaks
- Placeholders and plural forms get mangled, and a broken variable crashes the app. Validate that every placeholder in the source exists in the translation before saving.
- Live interpretation is a different product with far harder latency demands. Do not promise it inside a text workspace, ship it separately if at all.
How it makes money
- Per thousand words. The unit agencies already quote in, which makes your price comparison trivial.
- Team seat with review. Monthly per language reviewer, because approval and history are what keeps them inside the tool.
