openlocale: live translation delivery without redeploys
A self-hostable translation management system that pushes string changes to connected applications while they are running.
Field notes
openlocale places localization data behind a self-hosted Node service, using SQLite as its default single-file database and Postgres for larger deployments. Its delivery layer combines CDN-friendly bundles, ETag revalidation, and server-sent events, while the SDK and i18next integration can trigger application rerenders after a translation is saved. The page also documents per-string rollback history, duplicate detection across imported values, and CLI commands intended for CI pipelines.
