GitHub integration for Git-based translation management
Connect Phrase to your GitHub repository and deliver your software to global audiences in their own languages.
Eliminate manual work with GitHub + Phrase Integration
Phrase connects directly to your GitHub repository to give development and localization teams a true Git-based translation management workflow. Source strings sync automatically on push, translated files return as pull requests, and Git-style branching keeps multi-version localization projects in sync with your release branches, no manual file handling required.
Achieve high reliability and performance
Adapt the integration to your development environment and workflow. Enjoy flexible configuration options to avoid bottlenecks and human errors.
How Git-based localization works with Phrase
- Connect your repository. Link GitHub (or GitLab, Bitbucket) to Phrase in a few clicks.
- Sync source files automatically. Phrase detects new or changed strings on push and imports them without manual uploads.
- Translate in Phrase. Content is organized into projects and jobs so translators and reviewers work without touching source code.
- Branch and merge like a developer. Use Git-style branching to manage translations across multiple release versions in parallel.
- Receive translations as a pull request. Merge finished translations back into your codebase the same way you’d review any other PR.
- Automate it end-to-end. Use the Phrase CLI, API, or webhooks to trigger imports/exports as part of your CI/CD pipeline.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here to field your questions on our GitHub integration
Which other version control system can Phrase integrate with?
Phrase offers native GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket integrations. For other systems, our API in combination with our webhooks feature can provide ease in writing or setting up your own custom integration.
How does Phrase handle translation status across releases?
Phrase tracks translation completeness by release or branch, so teams know exactly what’s ready to ship before deployment. Learn more about continuous localization for release management.
Which file formats are supported?
Phrase supports 50+ file formats for importing, exporting, and working within the API. You can find the complete list of supported formats in our documentation.
What is a Git-based translation management tool?
A Git-based translation management tool syncs directly with your version control system — pulling source strings on commit or push, and returning translated content as branches or pull requests. This lets translation updates follow the same review and release process as code, instead of living in spreadsheets or manual file transfers.
How does Phrase keep translations in sync across multiple release branches?
Phrase uses Git-style branching to manage translation content the same way developers manage code: teams can create, merge, and track translation branches independently, so different product versions or release trains can hold different translation states without overwriting each other.
Can I automate translation updates as part of my release process?
Yes. Phrase’s CLI, API, and webhooks let you trigger string imports and exports automatically inside CI/CD pipelines, so translation status updates alongside every build rather than as a separate manual step.
