# General Translation

> General Translation is a full-stack internationalization platform for developers. It combines open-source i18n libraries, AI-powered translation, and an automated coding agent in one workflow from source code to production.

- Open-source SDKs: `gt-next` (Next.js), `gt-react` (React), `gt-react-native` (React Native), `gt-vue` (Vue), `gt-node` (Node.js), Python SDKs, and the `gt` CLI.
- Code is the source of truth: translatable content lives in the application code instead of manually extracted strings, JSON files, or a separate TMS.
- Context-aware AI translation: translations are generated with awareness of component structure, variable names, surrounding UI, and product glossary.
- Locadex, an AI coding agent, automates internationalization: it scans repositories, updates source code, generates translations, and opens pull requests.
- Pre-generated translations are delivered through production CDN infrastructure.

General Translation is used by developer-first teams including Cursor, Ramp, Profound, Cognition, Sierra, and ClickHouse.
