Soluling tools

You can use Soluling in various ways, depending on your environment and needs.

Using the Soluling desktop application
Using the Soluling command line application
Using the Soluling web pages
Using the Soluling web application
Using the Soluling REST API

Usually, you will use Soluling in a combination of the above methods.

Soluling desktop application

If you are working on the Windows operating system, this is the best choice for you. Install the Soluling GUI application on your computer, and you have all the features of Soluling available. You can create and maintain your project locally on your computer, and you can upload the project to the Soluling Cloud when it is time to translate it.

You need to have Windows 10 or later to run the desktop application.

Soluling command-line application

This is most often used together with the GUI tool but can also be used standalone. You can use the command-line tool, SoluMake, to perform most Soluling operations. The most typical usage is to call the command-line tool from your build process. SoluMake also has a resource command that finds hardcoded strings in your source code files and replaces them with resource strings.

You need to have Windows 10 or later to run the command line application.

Soluling web pages

If you are a developer and are not working on the Windows operating system, use the Soluling web pages to create projects, upload files, and download localized files.

You can use this from any web browser on any device.

Soluling web application

If you are a translator and are not working on the Windows operating system, use the Soluling web application instead of the Soluling desktop application. Multiple translators can work on the same project at the same time using the web application.

You can use this from any web browser on any device.

Soluling REST API

When you use the REST API, you don't need to install anything, and you can use it from any operating system. So if you are working on some other operating system but Windows, you can use Soluling using the cloud API. It contains an extensive REST API that you can use to create, maintain, and translate your localization projects. Your translators use a browser tool to translate your projects, or you can use the REST API to include editing features inside your application.

You can use the REST API from any operating system.
