Fast & Scalable Custom Vue.js App for Improving Translation Efficiency
Goals
We were happy to partner up with Lingohub on their way to upgrade their tool’s features for securing the founding round and further growth.
01
Improve translation management efficiency
The goal was to create a platform that simplifies translation tasks, reduces manual effort, and speeds up the overall process.
02
Enhance collaboration and team management
Lingohub wanted to enable better team collaboration by offering tools for role management and permissions, making it easier for managers to oversee projects.
03
Migrate the app to a modern, scalable tech stack
Transitioning from Angular to Vue.js was critical for achieving better performance, customizability, and ease of development.
Challenge
Lingohub is a helpful solution for managing the translation part of the development processes. Making it way better was a great commitment we set up for ourselves!
Helmut Juskewycz
CEO & Founder of Lingohub
We wanted to find a long-term software development partner.
Lingohub’s CEO used to experience the pains of the translation process while working as a software developer for various tech companies. He established his company to help software creators bring their products to a broader multilingual audience.Â
Overcoming the Technical DebtÂ
However, being based on Angular, it came to a point where the app’s further successful development could be questioned.
The main issue was the need for better performance and customizability to support new features Lingohub’s clientele required. The transition from Angular to Vue.js was crucial, as it offers superior runtime performance and easier optimization.
Main challenges:
The existing Angular framework limited the ability to implement new features efficiently
The platform needed better runtime performance to handle complex translation tasks and large datasets
Without the proper version control, the app’s development workflow was limited and imperfectly organized
The app lacked role management and team collaboration solutions necessary to deliver project oversight
Approach
Providing high-quality development deliverables was rooted in proper analysis of the technological environment we were invited to rework.
Helmut Juskewycz
CEO & Founder of Lingohub
Vue.js is very mainstream now but it wasn’t at the time of this project. Naturaily already had a few good developers for it.
We focused on leveraging Vue.js’s capabilities to modernize Lingohub’s platform. This was followed by the integrated developers' tools and custom product solutions we introduced as well.
Vue’s Virtual DOM
Unlike Angular’s real DOM, which renders the entire web page even for small changes, Vue.js uses a virtual DOM that updates only the components that have changed.
Simplified Data Binding
Vue.js supports both one-way and two-way data binding, providing flexibility in how data flows within the application.
Ease of Incremental Integration
Vue.js can be incrementally integrated into existing projects, making it easier to adopt without overhauling the entire system.
Component-Based Architecture
Vue.js’s component-based architecture allows for better organization and reuse of code, simplifying development and maintenance.
Reactive System
Vue.js’s reactivity system ensures that the UI updates efficiently in response to data changes.
The new Vue.js-based platform was meant to leverage its performance, flexibility, and scalability needed to support Lingohub’s growth.
Results
We were fulfilled when the client informed us about the funding secured that led to the next phase of the product’s development. This is what app development is all about!
Helmut Juskewycz
CEO & Founder of Lingohub
Their developers have helped us to learn different styles of development, and they’ve accelerated the rate at which we can ship our product.
Our developers, alongside the Lingohub development team, created a successful online translation platform. It helps developers, project managers, and, simply, software makers create great products and deliver them to a broader audience from the entire world.
Angular to Vue for the Next Funding Round
Together, we rewrote the existing part of the app from Angular to Vue.js, making it the main front-end language of the app.
Additionally, we implemented several standout custom features that enhanced Lingohub’s platform functionality and user experience. The project resulted in a refreshed design system, making it easier to navigate the tool.
Ultimately, the new app version secured the next funding round, making the project a positive story from the business perspective as well.
Outcome
We upgraded Lingohub’s translation management system, making it a powerful tool for software teams to deliver multilingual content effortlessly
Before
The existing Angular-based application was slow, difficult to customize, and limited in its ability to support new features and efficient workflows.
After
The new Vue.js-based platform is fast, flexible, and user-friendly, empowering Lingohub to further develop the platform with ease.
Improvements
Our work resulted in:
Improved Translation Efficiency
We improved the app’s main translation feature, and teams now save 60% of the time previously spent on translation tasks.
New App Development Workflows
Transitioning to Vue.js improved runtime performance and customizability and enabled faster and more efficient development of features needed.
Key Funding Secured
Lingohub secured over €600k in new funding from FFG. This supported further development and growth.
Better Team Collaboration
The new team management tools we implemented facilitate better project oversight and collaboration.
The App Redesigned
The redesign introduced the main dashboard with improved user navigation and a new, more intuitive interface.
