JSON Editor

To edit a JSON file online, you need to have an account at POEditor (it's free and takes just a few seconds to register) and follow these steps.

Step 1: Add a new project in your Dashboard.

Step 2: Add a language to the localization project and then import the JSON file, using the Import functionality in the project page.

Choose in the import options to Also import translations to a language and pick the language you've just added.

Import terms and translations (Project page) - POEditor localization management platform

This language will automatically be suggested as your project's Default Reference Language after you import the translations. You can change the DRL in the project's settings.

Step 3: Add more languages to the project and manage their translation, choosing from multiple translation options.

Step 4: When you're done with the JSON language edit, click on Export in any translation page to download a localized JSON file.

POEditor supports Key-Value JSON and transport JSON.

Creating a first project launches a Free Trial, which increases the account's limit from 1000 strings to 30 000. When the trial period is over, the free account can still be used up to 1000 strings.
