Show HN: Transly – Cache-driven incremental translation

Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

Transly is a cache-driven CLI tool for incremental translation of JSON locale files, using content hashes to re-translate only changed strings and supporting pluggable backends including LLMs and free services. Its partial-failure safety and configurable pipeline address a real pain point in i18n workflows, though it does not extract keys from source code. The project is well-documented with config reference, CLI commands, and progress events.

Target audience: backend devs
