Git integration for iOS
Make your iOS app localization a breeze with Smartcat's Git integration by automatically pulling content from your Git repository and pushing it back when translated.
How does the integration work?
Once connected, the integration will automatically find and pull string resources (.strings files) from your iOS app’s Git repository into Smartcat. There, you can manage your localization project using advanced features such as a special editor, translator assignments, workflow management, and so on.
Smartcat will push the translated resource files back to your Git repository automatically, so you don’t have to do it manually.
How do I use the integration?
If needed, you can configure Smartcat to automatically push translations back after they are completed, or after a certain stage in the workflow is reached. This is useful, among other things, if you want to get machine-translated content back in your repo before human translation is complete.

Don’t just take our word for it
What sold us on Smartcat was that it could be easily integrated with our existing tech stack. This has been a huge time-saver for us, as we no longer have to export and import files manually and move between different tools.
