Prerequisites

Step 1: Add the Tolgee AUR Repository

Step 2: Start the Tolgee Server

By default, Tolgee runs on https://localhost:3000/ and requires a database connection. To start Tolgee for the first time, go to the Tolgee directory /var/lib/tolgee/ and run the following command:

npm install
npm run start

You can access the Tolgee server on the web browser by going to http://localhost:3000. You will be prompted to create an admin account, and you can then create a new project or join an existing one.

Step 3: Start Using Tolgee

After you have created your admin account and project, you can now invite your team members to collaborate on your translations. You can import your translation files or connect Tolgee to your repository or hosting service.

You can use the powerful tools in Tolgee to manage your translations, including machine translation, translation memory, and glossary management. You can also track your project's progress, set deadlines, and see who is working on what.
