CI/CD Translation Pipeline Integration

CI/CD Translation Pipeline Integration

Your CI/CD pipeline automates everything - from testing to deployment. Everything except translation. That manual step in the middle? It's killing your global deployment speed.

Time to make translation as automated as your deployments.

The Translation Pipeline Bottleneck

Problem 1: Manual Steps Break Automation

You've spent years perfecting your CI/CD pipeline:

  • Code commits trigger automated tests
  • Successful builds deploy automatically
  • Monitoring alerts catch issues instantly
  • Everything flows smoothly... until translation

Then suddenly: manual export, email to translators, wait days, manual import, pray nothing breaks. Your beautiful automation grinds to a halt.

Problem 2: Version Mismatches Cause Chaos

Your pipeline moves fast. Translation doesn't:

  • Feature branches need different translations
  • Hotfixes can't wait for translation cycles
  • A/B tests require multiple versions
  • Rollbacks become translation nightmares

When code and translations are out of sync, production breaks. When production breaks at 3 AM because of a missing translation key, nobody's happy.

Problem 3: Testing Translations Is Nearly Impossible

How do you test something that isn't there yet?

  • Integration tests fail on missing translations
  • Can't verify UI with placeholder text
  • Localization bugs only appear in production
  • International users become unwilling testers

Without translations in your pipeline, you're shipping blind and hoping for the best.

CodeRelay: Translation as Code

CodeRelay transforms translation into a first-class citizen of your CI/CD pipeline. Deploy to any market as confidently as you deploy to your home market.

Native Pipeline Integration

CodeRelay slots perfectly into your existing workflow:

  • GitHub Actions Ready: Pre-built actions for instant setup
  • GitLab CI Compatible: Native .gitlab-ci.yml templates
  • Jenkins Plugins: Full Jenkins integration
  • CircleCI Orbs: Drop-in CircleCI configuration

Add translation to your pipeline in minutes, not months.

Intelligent Branch Management

Handle complex workflows with ease:

  • Feature Branch Isolation: Each branch gets its own translations
  • Automatic Merging: Translations merge with code
  • Conflict Resolution: Smart handling of translation conflicts
  • Preview Deployments: Every branch fully translated

Your translation workflow matches your development workflow perfectly.

Continuous Translation Testing

Never ship broken translations again:

  • Key Validation: Ensure all keys have translations
  • Format Verification: Validate translation file integrity
  • Screenshot Testing: Visual regression with translations
  • Load Testing: Performance validation with all languages

Translation becomes as tested as your code.
