Introduction to Lingva
Lingva is a modern localization platform built for developers. It streamlines the process of managing translations across all your applications, from web and mobile to desktop and games.
🚀 Why Lingva?
Traditional localization workflows are broken. Spreadsheets get lost, context is missing, and developers waste time syncing translation files. Lingva fixes this by providing a single source of truth for all your translations.

💡 Core Concepts
Projects
A project represents your application. Each project has its own set of translation keys and languages.
Locales
Languages you support (en, ru, es, de, etc.). Each locale contains translations for your keys.
Versions
Track changes over time. Roll back to previous versions if needed.
Environments
Separate translations for development, staging, and production.
