Deploy and Host Tolgee on Railway

Tolgee is an open-source localization platform that helps developers and teams manage translations efficiently. It provides an in-context translation editor, automatic translation via popular APIs, and integration with modern front-end frameworks. With Tolgee, you can streamline how your app handles multilingual content without depending on external translation tools.

About Hosting Tolgee

Hosting Tolgee involves running its Java-based server alongside a PostgreSQL database. The server manages translation keys, authentication, and machine translation integrations (like Google or DeepL). On Railway, deployment is simplified: the template provisions a Tolgee service and a managed PostgreSQL instance, wiring them together automatically. You just configure environment variables (e.g., database URL, authentication secrets, and optional API keys for machine translation). Within minutes, you’ll have a fully functional Tolgee instance accessible at your Railway domain, ready to connect with your applications.

Common Use Cases

Centralize and manage all translations for web and mobile apps.
Collaborate with developers and translators in a single interface.
Integrate automated translation APIs while keeping full control of edits.
