About ZenMulti
ZenMulti is a Visual Studio Code extension that uses OpenAI models to localize software. A developer selects a resource file in the editor, right clicks, opens ZenMulti, and the extension translates the file into other languages. It is described as a no code setup that takes about a minute and runs locally.
It is aimed at startups and solo developers who want their products to reach global users without managing a translation workflow by hand. The extension works with JSON and Properties resource files and is stated to handle large files. It supports unlimited resource files and unlimited languages. Translation runs through the user's own OpenAI API key, so usage costs are billed by OpenAI separately and a ChatGPT Plus subscription is not required. The site's FAQ covers license keys, device limits, updates and refunds.
The extension can be installed free from the VS Code Marketplace, with premium features unlocked by a license key. The license is sold as a one time payment, listed at $39 in US dollars, reduced from $49, and the vendor says it can be used forever. The OpenAI API usage fees are paid separately to OpenAI.
