Short answer

How can I translate UI strings using my AI?

You provide your AI with the code arrays or UI text you need translated. Your agent then uses the Weglot Connector to send those strings to Weglot for immediate processing. You'll get translated text ready for your interface.

Where every translation lands.

The outcomes of your request

Depending on how you prompt your agent, the results end up in these places.

WEGLOT

Direct translation

The translate_text tool sends your strings to Weglot. Your UI gets updated with the new language versions.

CHAT

Text in your client

Your agent provides the translated strings directly in your chat window. This is best for quick checks or manual copy-pasting.

CODE

Updated snippets

Your agent can return the translated strings formatted as code arrays. This makes it easy to drop them back into your repository.

HUMAN

Review required

You decide if a translation is accurate. The AI handles the heavy lifting, but you keep final control over the context.

The workflow

What your AI does when the strings arrive.

The AI handles the data transfer so you don't have to manually upload files or use a web dashboard.

  1. Receive data

    Your agent reads the UI strings or code arrays you paste into the chat or point to in your files.

    translate_text

  2. Process translation

    The agent uses the Weglot tool to send the text to the translation engine.

    translate_text

  3. Format output

    The agent organizes the translated text into the format you requested, like a JSON array or a simple list.

    translate_text

  4. Deliver results

    The agent presents the translated strings back to you in your AI client.

FAQ

Common questions about Weglot

  • 01

    Can the AI automatically update my production website?

    No. The AI can translate the strings and provide them to you, but you must manually apply those changes to your live site or code repository.

  • 02

    Does the AI handle the file upload to Weglot?

    No. The AI uses the translate_text tool to send specific strings. It does not manage your entire Weglot project or file structure.

  • 03

    Can I translate entire files at once?

    Yes, if you provide the content of the file to your agent, it can process the strings within it using Weglot.

  • 04

    Will the AI change my existing Weglot settings?

    No. The AI only uses the tool to perform translations. It cannot modify your Weglot account settings or configuration.

  • 05

    How do I know if a translation is correct?

    You should always review the output. The AI performs the translation, but the final verification is a human task.
