Fink documentation

Fink is a free i18n editor that runs in your browser. It opens the translation files in a GitHub repository, shows every language of a message side by side, flags problems, and commits your changes back to the branch. Your repository stays the only copy of your translations: there is nothing to import, export or sync.

Start here

• Getting started: open a repository, edit, review and push in five minutes.
• Set up a project: add the project.inlang folder Fink needs, for i18next, next-intl or Paraglide JS.
• Supported formats: what Fink can open today, and what it can't.
• Fink for teams: how translators and PMs edit text without JSON or git.

Using Fink

• Editing translations: languages, search, filters, adding and deleting messages.
• Reference locale: which language Fink compares translations against.
• Plurals, selects and exact numbers
• Checks: what each problem means and how to fix it.
• Unused messages
• Review and push: what Fink commits, and what it leaves alone.
• Branches, forks and pull requests
• Translators and non-developers: who needs what account and access.
• Local drafts: where unpushed work lives.

Integrations

• i18next: JSON files, namespaces and plurals.
• next-intl: messages/{locale}.json, namespaces, ICU plurals and rich text.
• Paraglide JS: the inlang message format, unused messages and usage in code.
