Here’s how easy it is to use Stringtale

You're not here to maintain. You're here to build. So here's how Stringtale fits into your workflow — fast, clean, and without getting in your way.

Quick setup guide

In just 6 easy steps you'll never have to manually touch text edits ever again. Pretty neat, right?

See Documentation

1. Init your project

Run npx stringtale init once. We'll detect your setup and configure everything for you.

Edit live on test or preview environments

2. Migrate existing text

Got a legacy project? Our codemod finds static strings and wraps them in Stringtale Value tags for you. These tags determine which texts become editable using the Stringtale Chrome extension – making sure you never have to do a manual text edit ever again. You can always refactor later or skip certain files. That way, you stay in control of what your team can (and can't) change.

Skip the manual refactor

Use the wrap command VS Code extension to fix edge cases in one go

3. Deploy as usual

No extra steps. Just deploy to staging like always.
Stringtale works in any environment.

4. Add new strings (ESLint does the work)

No need to remember anything. Our ESLint plugin wraps new strings automatically. It validates your usage and fixes what's missing.

Zero mental load

Just write text – we'll handle the rest

5. Invite your team

Once deployed, invite your team. They'll get:

A dashboard showing links to all editable environments

A Chrome extension to edit directly on the page

No dev help needed

6. Review merge requests

Just text edits

No surprises

You stay in control

Editor login = flexible deployment

Editing is tied to the Chrome extension. This means you can use Stringtale wherever you want. On staging, on production, or even on localhost. You decide.

Deploy anywhere

Status feedback in edit mode

The Chrome extension shows the status of all changes. This makes sure you know what's been saved, what's still pending, and what hasn't been touched at all.

Real-time saving status

Can't edit something? Leave a quick comment

If a field isn't editable – maybe it wasn't exposed yet, or something is broken – editors can leave a quick note right there. The note tag is easy to follow up for the dev team.

Tag a teammate

No need for anything but Slack, Jira, Asana, and Co
