Install

  1. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions/
  2. Enable Developer mode (top-right toggle)
  3. Click Load unpacked
  4. Select the chrome-extension/ folder from the Loco repo
  5. The Loco Translation Editor extension appears in your extensions list

Configure

  1. Click the Loco extension icon → Options (or right-click → Extension options)
  2. Fill in:
    • API Base URL — the Loco server URL (e.g. http://localhost:6101)
    • API Key — from Dashboard → Settings
  3. Click Save Settings, then Test Connection

Usage

Navigate to any page running the Loco snippet and click the extension icon to open the side panel. You'll see:

  • All phrases discovered on the current page URL
  • Filter by status (Pending, Approved, Trash) or translation coverage
  • Edit translations inline without leaving the page
  • Changes saved instantly to the Loco server
