Translate database content without rebuilding your application.
Altified helps products localize records that change after deployment, including listings, products, articles, courses, help content, and API-backed pages.
When source content changes, Altified can identify the affected translation and keep the rest of the product stable.
/ The short answer
Database localization works when every translatable value has a stable identity, a source-language fallback, and a place for its translated versions to be reused. Altified provides that workflow.
Identify the record
Use a stable key based on the record and field, not an array position or temporary value.
Send source content
Provide the original text and useful context so the translation has a reliable source.
Review and reuse
Apply glossary terms, review important values, and reuse completed translations across requests.
Track source changes
When the original value changes, the related translation can be marked stale for regeneration.
/ Why it matters
A localization workflow that belongs inside your product.
Records stay in your workflow
Keep product data in your database and request translated values where the application needs them.
Context and glossary
Give translators context and protect product names, terminology, and brand language.
Change tracking
Detect source updates so teams can focus review on content that actually changed.
Localized page output
Use translated records inside public language routes and metadata that customers can discover.
/ Frequently asked questions
Questions teams ask before localizing.
What database content can be translated?
Common examples include product names and descriptions, marketplace listings, articles, courses, help-center records, and other fields that change after deployment.
Why do database translations need stable keys?
A stable key keeps a translation attached to the same record and field even when records are reordered, cached, or fetched through different application paths.
What happens when the source value changes?
The source change can mark the related translation stale, allowing your team to regenerate or review only the content that actually needs attention.
