Quickstart

Start by installing Babely.

Then, run the following command to initialize Babely.

Terminal
npx @babely/cli@latest init

Follow the steps to set up your project.

First Translation

Now you are ready to translate your code.

Start by adding a key to your source file, for example if you choose to use en.json as your source file, add a key to it.

src/locales/en.json
{
  "welcome": "Welcome to our application!",
  "user": {
    "greeting": "Hi, {{name}}!",
    "profile": {
      "title": "Your profile",
      "edit": "Edit profile"
    }
  },
  "notifications": {
    "messages": "You have {{count}} new message(s).",
    "empty": "No new notifications."
  }
}

Translate

Run the following command to translate your content:

Terminal
npx @babely/cli@latest translate

This will:

  1. ◇Create translation files for each target language
  2. ◇Generate high-quality translations Babely Engine
  3. ◇Create a babely.lock file to track translation states

The lock file helps Babely identify which translations need updates when your source content changes. Make sure to commit this file to your repository.

Next Steps

Now that you have Babely set up, you can:

  • ◇Add more languages in your babely.json file
  • ◇Integrate Babely into your CI/CD pipeline
  • ◇Use our API for programmatic translations
