The others are still debating whether it's worth the effort.

Add Spanish, Japanese, or Arabic support to your already-released app. Users get the new language instantly — no app update required.

How OTA updates work

1

Translate on the web

Your team translates content on the BabelKit web dashboard. Every change is saved and versioned automatically.

2

Click publish

When you're ready, hit publish. BabelKit creates a new OTA revision — a lightweight JSON bundle hosted on our CDN.

3

App fetches on launch

Your app's BabelKit SDK checks for new translations on startup. If a new revision is available, it downloads and caches it locally. Offline-safe — the last downloaded version is always available.

4

Users see updated text

The new translations are applied immediately. No restart needed, no app update required. Users see the latest content right away.

Built for production

CDN-backed delivery

Translation bundles are served from a global CDN for fast, reliable downloads anywhere in the world.

Offline-first

SDKs cache translations locally. Your app works perfectly offline with the last downloaded revision.

Revision tracking

Every publish creates a numbered revision. Roll back to any previous version with one click.

Lightweight bundles

JSON-based translation files are tiny — typically under 50KB even for apps with thousands of strings.

Secure by default

API key authentication ensures only your app can fetch your translations. HTTPS everywhere.

All platforms supported

OTA works with Swift, Android, Flutter, and React Native SDKs. Same publish, every platform updates.

Stop waiting for app reviews

Push translations to production in seconds, not days.
