Keeps the translation keys in step with the code, drafts translations, and designs for languages that run longer or right to left.
Built for: The product team shipping its second and third language, where the translations live in one tool and the strings in another.
The button opens the checkout, where the 2 servers and 5 skills are listed one by one. Every member is free, so the checkout lists them and asks for no card.
The reason to buy a stack rather than five listings: each line below needs more than one member connected at the same time.
Find the hard-coded strings in a React codebase, move them into locale files and report which keys are missing per language.
Create the new keys in Tolgee and fill first drafts with machine translation, marked for a translator to review.
Translate or rephrase a passage with DeepL at the formality the audience expects.
Check a layout for expansion and right-to-left mirroring, and generate hreflang tags for the localized pages.
What each part contributes, and why it was picked over the obvious alternative. Prices and permissions are read from the listings, so nothing here can disagree with the catalogue.
Tolgee's hosted server: search keys, create translations and trigger machine translation in your Tolgee projects.
DeepL's own server for translating and rephrasing text, with formality and glossary support where the language allows it.
Sets up or audits i18n in a React/TypeScript codebase — replaces hard-coded strings, checks locale coverage, validates the JSON files.
Designs for text expansion, right-to-left mirroring and locale formats before a layout breaks in German or Arabic.
Apple platforms: String Catalogs, plurals, right-to-left layouts and locale-aware formatting in Xcode.
The Flutter team's skill for flutter_localizations, intl and l10n.yaml in a new project.
Validates and generates hreflang for HTML, headers and sitemaps, so each language version is the one search shows.
Every member is free, so the monthly figure is $0 whatever you do with the stack: nothing here is billed by the call, and only adding a paid member could change it.

| Everything above | $0 of servers plus $0 of skills, the same in a quiet month and a busy one | $0/mo |
Subscriptions at their monthly plan price; one-off licences spread over 12 months.
Install only these and the bill is nothing: 2 servers and 5 skills, and all 13 tools.
Nothing in this stack carries a call allowance, so nothing here can run out before the month does. The bill is decided when you install it, not when you use it.
The spend cap is one figure for the whole account, set in your dashboard and checked when an order is placed. On the call path what stops a retry loop is the plan's call allowance and its rate limit, and a refused call is never billed.
The steps below come before the install lines: what to decide and scope before connecting anything, in the order it matters. The lines themselves follow, part by part, for the client you pick.
npx mcprush@latest stack add localization writes all 2 servers into Claude Code’s config in one go — or run the lines below one by one. The 5 skills are not included — add them with lines 03–07.
DEEPL_API_KEY — Your DeepL API key, from your DeepL API account (Free or Pro)Set it where you start Claude Code — export DEEPL_API_KEY=… in your shell profile on macOS and Linux, setx DEEPL_API_KEY "…" on Windows, then open a new terminal. Claude Code reads it at start; the config keeps only the name.

Installed together, these tool surfaces add up. It is the first thing a security reviewer asks for, so what has been counted — and what nobody has counted yet — is on the page rather than in a PDF.
| Member | Tool surface | Write tools |
|---|---|---|
| Tolgee | not imported | not recorded |
A stack's blast radius is the union of its members, not the worst of them. That union cannot be taken here, because 1 member of 2 has no imported tool surface — so the figure a review asks for is missing rather than low, and a member marked not imported is one nobody has counted rather than one that cannot write.
A stack is a default, not a verdict. These are the substitutions the maintainer would make, and what each one costs or saves.
A team on Crowdin reads projects, files, strings and translation progress through a hosted Crowdin server — third-party, not Crowdin's own.
Written by the maintainer, kept on the page rather than in a support thread.
Machine translation is a draft. Legal text, marketing copy and anything a customer signs needs a human translator, and this desk does not replace one.
It covers Tolgee as the translation platform; a team on Crowdin or Lokalise needs the swap below or a different server.
DeepL covers the languages DeepL supports; for others the desk has no translation engine.
A stack has an owner: whoever keeps it re-checks the combination when a member changes, and the members themselves are published by the people named on each row.
