Visual software localisation in action with Rigi

Software localisation is the process of adapting an application’s user interface and messages for users in different languages and regions. It goes beyond translation by considering layout, spacing, direction (such as right-to-left scripts), and cultural expectations. Rigi supports software localisation by showing how each translated string appears inside the actual UI, not just in a table.

Rigi captures real screens from your application and links them to the underlying strings. Translators and reviewers then log in to a visual software localisation editor where they can see and edit text in context. This reduces guesswork, helps them choose the right phrasing, and makes it easier to spot issues such as truncated labels or misleading wording.

Rigi sits alongside your Translation Management System and developer tools. You still manage workflows, translation memory, and terminology in your TMS, while Rigi provides the visual layer for software localisation. Strings flow between the systems; Rigi adds context to help linguists, reviewers, and product teams make better decisions before release.

Traditional software localisation tools focus on text only. Rigi is a visual software localisation tool built around screenshots and live previews. It connects each string to its position in the UI, so teams work with real layouts instead of guessing from IDs and keys. This makes localisation in software more accurate and reduces the number of UI bugs found late in the release cycle.

Yes. Rigi lets product owners, UX designers, and country managers review localised screens in a browser without needing access to the codebase. They can leave comments directly on the interface, approve changes, or flag issues, making cross-functional review of software localisation much easier to manage.

Rigi is designed to support UIs in multiple writing systems, including right-to-left languages. The product tour shows how different scripts appear inside your UI, so you can check alignment, spacing, and wrapping as part of your software localisation process.

Rigi integrates with your existing TMS and repositories. Strings and keys come from your current software localisation tools, while screenshots and context come from Rigi. In the tour, you’ll see how these connections work in practice, and how workflows are set up so developers do not need to manage screenshots manually.

Rigi is used by localisation managers, linguists, product managers, UX designers, and sometimes QA teams. Linguists use it to translate and review in context; product and design teams use it to confirm that the UI looks correct for each market; localisation managers use it to run a more reliable software localisation process with fewer last-minute surprises.

Yes. Because Rigi provides visual context and interactive screens, developers spend less time generating screenshots, explaining where strings appear, or fixing layout issues caused by late changes. The tour highlights how Rigi fits into the development cycle so engineers can stay focused on building features.

Rigi is available as part of the wider XTM product family. Pricing depends on the size of your localisation team, the number of projects and products you support, and how Rigi connects to your existing software localisation tools. During the tour, you can discuss your setup and get guidance on the best configuration and pricing model for your organisation.
