LingoHub + GitHub

LingoHub connects to your repository and pulls new source strings on every commit. Translators, reviewers and LINA work on them in LingoHub, with your glossary and translation memory. Completed translations come back as a pull request ready for review and merge.

All FAQs Contact us

How does the GitHub integration automate my localization workflow?

LingoHub uses real-time webhooks to detect repository changes and automatically synchronize translatable content between GitHub and the localization workflow. Translations can then be pushed back through direct commits or automated Pull Requests.

Can I manage translations across multiple Git branches?

Yes. LingoHub supports bi-directional synchronization across branches, allowing teams to localize features independently while keeping development workflows organized and aligned with ongoing releases.

How does LingoHub ensure the safety of my repository during sync?

LingoHub supports secure OAuth2, GitHub App, and SSH connections and includes automated Pull Request creation with built-in conflict detection to help prevent faulty or conflicting updates during synchronization.

When does LingoHub open a pull request with translations?

With automatic push set to on completion and the push type set to pull request, LingoHub opens the pull request once every target language is translated and nothing has changed for 10 minutes. You can also schedule the push daily or weekly, or push by hand from the Sync menu. If the exported files match your base branch, LingoHub deletes its update branch, so empty pull requests don’t clutter your history.

Does the GitHub integration work with protected branches?

Yes. Protected branches don’t accept direct pushes, so set the default push type to pull request. Your required approvals and status checks then apply to LingoHub’s pull request too.

Can our CI/CD pipeline call LingoHub?

Yes. With the LingoHub REST API, a pipeline job can tell LingoHub to push translations to your repository, upload and download resource files, and check translation status across projects. The Developer Hub also has recipes for common automation flows, such as requesting a file export and polling until it’s ready.

Does LingoHub work with GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps too?

Yes. The file-based integration works the same way with GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps, including the automatic pull and push settings.
