PTC speeds up the localization process by automating translations and delivering them as pull requests. Quickly adapt your software for global markets and shorten your time-to-market.

How to Set Up the PTC and GitHub Integration 

To get started, sign in or create a PTC account. Then, begin the integration process by creating a new project in PTC:

Grant Access to Your Repository

Use GitHub’s OAuth App, or generate a personal or fine-grained access token. Select the repository and branch you want PTC to monitor.

Set Project Details and Target Languages

Tell PTC about your project by adding a description and selecting terms that describe it. This helps PTC deliver accurate translations. Then, choose the languages to translate into.

Translate and Receive Pull Requests

PTC detects resource files in your repository, generates Better Than Human Translations, and sends them back as pull requests for review.

Approve and Merge

Approve the pull request in GitHub. PTC continues to monitor your repository, creating new pull requests with updated translations whenever you make changes to your resource files.

Frequently Asked Questions About the GitHub 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 as pull requests. PTC only interacts with the files it manages for translation and does not make changes to any other parts of your repository.

Which software repositories does PTC integrate with?

In addition to GitHub, PTC integrates with GitLab and Bitbucket, offering the same automated localization workflows and features for each platform.

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.
