Easy Repository Integration

Connect PTC directly to your Bitbucket repository and eliminate the need for manual file imports or exports. Once integrated, PTC detects resource files, generates Better Than Human Translations using AI, and sends them back via pull requests.

Always Up-to-Date Translations

PTC tracks changes to your resource files and updates translations automatically. No extra effort from your team required.

Agile and Scalable Localization

PTC supports multiple languages and works with all major resource file formats. Choose which branches to monitor, and adjust settings as your project grows or changes.

How to Set Up the PTC and Bitbucket Integration 

Start by logging in to your PTC account or creating one. Once you create a new project, the PTC setup wizard helps you integrate it with your Bitbucket repository.

We recommend connecting using Bitbucket OAuth, the easiest and most secure method.

If needed, you can use a repository access token instead. Keep in mind that Bitbucket access tokens are tied to your user account and cannot be restricted to a specific repository, so use them with caution in shared environments. 

Repository Access Token

Creating the token

What To Do

Select the required scopes:

Repositories → Read, Write and Admin
Pull Requests → Read and Write
Webhooks → Read and Write

After creating the token, store it securely and add it during the PTC project setup.

Select the repository and branch you want PTC to monitor. PTC will automatically detect and track changes to resource files in that branch.

PTC generates accurate, context-aware translations using AI.

PTC sends the translated files back to your repository via pull requests. Merge the translations to complete the process.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Bitbucket Integration

Why does PTC need read and write access to my repository?

PTC uses read access to detect changes in your resource files and write access to deliver translations via pull requests. It only interacts with files used for translations and doesn’t modify other parts of your repository.

Which Git hosting platforms are supported by PTC?

In addition to Bitbucket, PTC integrates with GitLab and GitHub, offering the same automated localization workflows and features across all platforms.

What file formats does PTC support?

PTC works with a wide range of resource file formats, including .po, .mo, .json, .xml, .properties, .csv, .xlif, and more.
