Where it fits

YAML output for practical multilingual handoff.

Use Arkian when the file format matters and the customer needs output they can inspect before use.

Before Arkian
  • Approved content needs YAML output.
  • Multiple languages need consistent packaging.
  • Manual file prep is slow or error-prone.
With Arkian
  • Arkian creates localized YAML files.
  • Outputs are packaged by language.
  • The customer reviews and applies the files.
Production outputs

Multilingual assets organized for review.

The customer brings approved source content. Arkian returns files organized for review, delivery, or release support.

The package is the handoff.

Arkian keeps the output inspectable: named files, selected formats, language folders, and package context.

04

Review the packaged YAML files.

Common jobs

For clear jobs that do not need a full localization stack.

Arkian can support apps, websites, voice prompts, kiosks, onboarding, support content, and other systems that need multilingual assets without a full CAT/TMS workflow.

Product builders

Localized app strings, metadata, help copy, release assets, and product-language files without connecting a repo.

Content teams

Approved scripts, articles, lessons, podcasts, and explainers turned into multilingual text, metadata, and voice files.

Small agencies

Client-ready multilingual packages without standing up a CAT/TMS, voice stack, metadata process, and file-prep workflow.

Customer-facing systems

IVR, voicemail, kiosks, SCO, EPOS, onboarding screens, support prompts, and other systems that need consistent copy or audio.

Operational teams

One focused multilingual job done cleanly: approved source in, structured output out, customer review stays in control.

Why it works

More than raw translation.

Translation is one part. Arkian adds the structure around it: formats, folders, metadata, scripts, voice files, naming, and delivery-ready packages.

Keeps the customer in control of final use.

Supports package-based review.

Useful for focused production jobs.

Can sit beside scripts, metadata, or audio assets.

FAQ

Questions customers may have.

Is Arkian a CAT or TMS replacement?

No. Arkian prepares structured multilingual outputs from approved source content. Mature CAT/TMS platforms remain the better fit for translation memory, terminology governance, reviewer routing, and Git-native localization operations.

Does Arkian need repository access?

No. Arkian creates packages and files. The customer keeps their product, repository, CMS, IVR system, kiosk platform, or content system under their own control.

What does Arkian actually solve?

Arkian compresses the production work between approved source content and usable multilingual assets: strings, metadata, scripts, voice files, naming, folder structure, and downloadable packages.
