Rigi's integration with Transifex lets translators view strings in their product UI context directly from the Transifex Editor, using the Rigi Viewer. This article walks through how to configure the integration and start translating with in-context previews.
Setting up the integration
The integration works in one direction: Rigi pushes source content to Transifex as XLIFF files, and completed translations are automatically returned to Rigi once a target language reaches 100% completion.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have the following in place:
A Rigi tenant and user account.
A Transifex organization with a file-based project already set up.
Transifex API credentials for the user who will connect Rigi to Transifex.
Source files ready to upload to the Rigi project or a pre-existing Rigi project with files already uploaded.
Prepare your Rigi project
Sign in to Rigi and choose an existing or create a new Web App project for the content you want to localize.
If starting a new project, upload your source files and set the source and target languages.
Approve the uploaded content in Rigi to generate the string list that will sync to Transifex.
Run the Capture Previews process. Previews are stored in your project and will be accessible through the Rigi Viewer during translation.
Connect Rigi to Transifex
In Transifex, open your user profile and copy or generate your API token.
In your Rigi project, open the TMS Connection under your settings, select Transifex from the dropdown, enter your API credentials, and select the Transifex rproject you want to send content to.
Configure language mappings in the connector. Review these carefully before translation begins.
You're ready to send your strings to Transifex.
Rigi uploads your source files to Transifex as Rigi XLIFF files. These files contain the metadata that the Rigi Viewer needs to highlight the correct strings during translation.
📝Note: You can find more details about generating a Transifex APi token here.
Translate with in-context previews
Translators open a Rigi XLIFF file in the Transifex Editor and select a string.
They click the Preview button to open the Rigi Viewer, which displays the string in its UI context.
Translations are completed in the Editor as normal. When a target language is 100% translated, translations are automatically sent back to Rigi.
