Never Lose a Translation Again
Lingo.dev's built-in translation caching system protects your work from network interruptions and saves time by preserving completed translations.
Benefits at a Glance
- Resume Interrupted Jobs: Continue exactly where you left off after connection issues
- Save Time & Money: Never pay to translate the same content twice
- Improve Reliability: Complete large projects even with unstable connections
- Zero Configuration: Works automatically with no setup required
How Translation Caching Works
The system operates seamlessly in the background:
- Real-time Storage: Each translated segment is cached immediately upon completion
- Persistent Memory: Cached translations remain available between sessions
- Smart Recovery: When restarting after an interruption, only untranslated content is processed
- Automatic Invalidation: Cache updates when source content changes
Real-World Example
bash
# Start translating your project
npx lingo.dev@latest i18n
# Connection drops at 80% completion
# ❌ Without caching: All progress lost
# ✅ With caching: Progress preserved
# Simply restart the command
npx lingo.dev@latest i18n
# System automatically:
# 1. Loads cached translations (80%)
# 2. Completes only the remaining 20%Best Practices
- After Interruptions: Just re-run the same command - no special flags needed
- For Large Projects: Let the system handle progress tracking automatically
- When Changing Content: The cache intelligently updates only what's needed
Technical Implementation
The caching system is:
- Zero-config: Works out of the box with no settings to adjust
- Secure: Cached translations are stored safely
- Consistent: Always in sync with your source content
- Intelligent: Automatically refreshes when source content changes
Ideal For
- Global Teams: Working across regions with varying connection quality
