Variables

Working with variables is easy in Locanext.

On the website

Use {{variable}}.For example Hi, {{name}}

In project

import { t } from '@locanext/nts'const welcome = t(dictionary.welcome, { name: 'Jon' }) // typed variables

Typing is updated after updating translations in the project

npx nts update

Team Roles and Permissions

Your Project → Menu → Team

Locanext supports teamwork. Each member has a role with specific permissions. Additional access can be given for AI usage and download of translation files.

Role Overview

* - The project owner configures this setting for each member.

  • Owner – full control. Manages the project, team, and languages.
  • Editor – can edit all content but cannot manage team or languages.
  • Translator – can only edit translation values (not keys or structure).
  • Viewer – read-only mode. Suitable for developers who just need to use translations as they are.

Best Practices for Team Roles

To keep your project safe and easy to manage, we recommend assigning roles like this:

Team MemberRecommended Role
Developer (who edits content)Editor + Download permission
Content creator with AI supportEditor + AI access
TranslatorTranslator (no AI, no Download)
Developer (who only uses translations as they are)Viewer + Download permission
Project manager (control only)Viewer (no extra permissions)

This way, everyone has only the access they really need, which reduces mistakes and keeps translations organized.

Important

  • The project owner always pays for AI usage, even when used by team members.
  • Allow Download access only for people who really need JSON files (usually developers).

AI Assistant

The app includes an AI assistant that helps with:

  • Translating text
  • Generating new translation keys

We always keep the AI models updated to the latest versions for the best possible quality.


Downloading JSON Files

Only the Owner and team members with Download permission can access downloads.

There are two ways to get your translation files

1
From the websiteYour Project → Menu → Download
2
With the CLI command in the project folder
npx nts update
