# LocaleBit

> LocaleBit is a self-hosted, AI-enabled software translation management platform designed for modern web applications and engineering teams.

## Overview
LocaleBit provides automated, privacy-first localization infrastructure deployed directly within private container environments (Docker / Podman). Unlike traditional translation SaaS providers that charge recurrent per-seat subscriptions and send proprietary strings to public clouds, LocaleBit offers a one-time perpetual license with zero telemetry and complete local data sovereignty.

## Key Capabilities
- **Self-Hosted Data Sovereignty**: All translation strings, glossaries, and credentials stay inside your container volume. No outbound tracking or remote telemetry.
- **AI-Powered Automated Translation**: Context-aware translation leveraging top LLM engines with custom glossary enforcement.
- **Low-Latency Local Architecture**: High-speed caching and transactions built on SQLite WAL (Write-Ahead Logging).
- **Perpetual One-Time License**: Full deployment for $499 one-time payment with unlimited seats, projects, and languages.
- **Developer-Friendly Integration**: Simple CLI and container setup compatible with modern frameworks (Nuxt, Next.js, Vue, React, Svelte).
