Contentful TotalCtrl String Manager

If you use Contentful, you'll love TotalCtrl.

A central repository for your content.

Contentful is a headless CMS aimed at structured web content. TotalCtrl's String Manager is a content repository tuned for copy and strings — the canonical store your apps, docs, and AI writing draw from — with developer formats (JSON, XLIFF, iOS, Android, ARB, PO), GitHub sync, and built-in quality/consistency checks.

Everything Contentful does — and more

String Manager, included in every plan

One Content Repository
Keep every string, label, and piece of copy in organized sets — the canonical source your apps, sites, and teams all draw from.
Translate & Review
Manage translations per locale with placeholder validation, review state, and AI-assisted translation — or push to your localization workflow.
Import & Export Everywhere
Round-trip JSON, XLIFF, Android, iOS, ARB, PO/gettext, CSV, and more, plus DITA, MS Office, and HTML-block parsing on import — your content is never locked in.
GitHub Sync
Connect a repo so strings stay in lockstep with your codebase via webhook sync — no manual copy-paste between product and content.
Fed by Your Other Apps
CCMS and the Help Center push their published content in for translation and reuse, so documentation and product copy live in one place.
Quality Checks
Built-in analysis flags placeholder mismatches, inconsistencies, and issues before they ship.
