Scala app internationalization and localization

Scala is a general-purpose programming language providing support for functional programming and a strong static type system. Designed to be concise, many of Scala’s design decisions aimed to address criticisms of Java.

🔗Best way to localize Scala apps

The first step is to extract the text to translate into language files. This process is called internationalization. The library osinka/scala-i18n can be used to extract out the text to translate into Java properties files.

Once you have internationalized your Scala app, use a translation software localization tool such as WebTranslateIt to manage your localization workflow.

It is easy to translate a Scala app with WebTranslateIt. Create a project, upload your source language file in the File Manager and translate it on the Translation Interface.

The tools included in WebTranslateIt, such as Batch Operations, the Translation Memory or Machine Translation can help you translate that file automatically, faster and cost effectively.
