About Localizeflow
Built for teams who want multilingual docs without giving up control of their GitHub repositories.
Localizeflow is a GitHub-native localization workflow service. We monitor the documentation repositories you connect, detect updates when things change, and open pull requests so your docs stay aligned with every release—without asking you to move content into a separate system.
How Localizeflow works
You install the Localizeflow GitHub App on the repositories you choose. When you update your source documentation, Localizeflow detects the changes, runs localization workflows for the languages you configured, and raises pull requests with updated files. All changes stay visible in Git, with clean diffs you can review like any other change.
Under the hood, we may use managed translation services or AI/LLM-based translation APIs to generate draft translations. Those outputs always flow back into your repositories under your control. For details on subprocessors and data handling, see our Privacy Policy.
What data we access
Localizeflow only accesses the repositories and data you explicitly authorize through the GitHub App installation. In practice, this may include:
- Repository metadata (for example, repository name, default branch, and basic settings) for the repos where the app is installed.
- Documentation and related assets inside those repositories, such as Markdown files, images, notebooks, and localization resources.
- Pull request and commit information related to changes that Localizeflow proposes or tracks for localization.
- Basic account information you provide in the app (such as email and organization name) so we can operate your account and send essential notifications.
We do not scan or index unrelated repositories, and we do not access data outside the scopes and repositories you choose.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your personal data or your repository content.
- We do not use your documentation or repository content to train generalized AI/ML models shared with other customers, unless you explicitly opt in through a separate agreement or configuration.
- We do not retain repository access after you uninstall the GitHub App or remove a repository from Localizeflow's configuration.
Your control and how to revoke access
You stay in control of what Localizeflow can see and do:
- You choose which repositories to connect when you install the GitHub App, and you can change that selection at any time in GitHub.
- You can uninstall the Localizeflow GitHub App from your GitHub organization at any time. When you do, Localizeflow loses access to those repositories.
- Inside Localizeflow, you can pause or reconfigure localization projects if you want to stop generating new translation pull requests.
Data retention and deletion for Customer Content are described in more detail in our Privacy Policy and any applicable data processing agreement.
Security, infrastructure, and subprocessors
Localizeflow runs on managed cloud infrastructure and uses reputable third-party providers for hosting, storage, monitoring, analytics, email delivery, payments, and translation/LLM APIs. These vendors act as subprocessors that help us operate the service.
We aim to keep the architecture simple and auditable: your documentation stays in Git, localization work is visible as pull requests, and you can always see exactly what changed.
