What It Is

eclypse is a translation management and continuous localization platform from Eclypse Software, LLC. It is positioned as a centralized workspace where developers, translators, and designers can collaborate. Beyond handling text for websites, mobile apps, and games, it also supports localization of asset types such as images, documents, audio, fonts, PDFs, and videos, making it suitable for product teams with more complex content formats.

Core Capabilities

Its core is built around localization workflows: you can invite team members and in-house translators, assign roles, access levels, tasks, and deadlines, and discuss translation issues through built-in chat, mentions, and notifications. Translation sources fall into three categories: ordering from certified translators, machine translation via ChatGPT/Google Translate/DeepL, and collaboration with your own translators. The product also offers plural handling, glossaries, screenshot context, quality-control filters, custom translation statuses, advanced filtering, tags, and milestone management. Its Translatability feature lets teams mark which content does not need translation by feature or region, helping control the cost of multi-region releases.

Pricing and Deployment

The free Stardust Core plan supports 5 users, 1 project, and 2000 keys or 100 assets, with no credit card required. It already includes glossaries, screenshots, import/export, milestones, and Google/DeepL support. Luna Team costs $49.9/month, increasing the limits to 10 users and 3 projects, while adding ChatGPT, translation statuses, and bulk translation. Saturn Professional costs $149.9/month and adds API access, GitHub integration, task management, and Translatability. The Enterprise plan requires contacting sales and supports OpenID, invoice payment, dedicated support, and configurable quotas. Deployment appears closer to a cloud service paired with native apps. The current text mentions support for Mac and iOS, while Windows is still planned; self-hosting is not mentioned.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are a generous free plan, a low barrier to entry, and coverage for both text and game/multimedia assets. GitHub automatic PRs, API sync, and export templates can reduce repetitive work for development teams. The drawbacks are that advanced automation is gated behind the Professional plan and above, Windows support is incomplete, and security and compliance disclosures are limited, with no visible mention of certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001.

Best Fit and Access from China

It is suitable for SaaS, mobile app, and game teams with a continuous release cadence, especially organizations that want to bring engineering, translation, and design into the same workflow. Access from mainland China is not discussed in the main text, and the only clearly stated payment option is invoice payment for the Enterprise plan. If you need stable access from China, RMB payment, or local support, you should test connectivity and payment first, and compare alternatives such as Lokalise, Phrase, Crowdin, Transifex, POEditor, and Weblate.
