Dashboard Overview
A tour of the Babelize dashboard: what each main section does, how the project detail page is organized, and the keyboard shortcuts that speed you up.
The Babelize dashboard is where you import projects, run babels, review translations and keep an eye on credits.
Sidebar
Menu
- Home: A greeting, anything that needs your attention, and an overview of your projects and credits
- Projects: Your projects. The Archived tab holds projects you've archived
- Babels: Every translation run across your projects, filtered by status, trigger (manual or auto) and project
- Plan & usage: Your plan, credits, usage over time, API usage, and billing
Account
- Settings: Opens on Profile, with tabs for Profile (name, avatar, GitHub username, delete account), Account (sign-in methods, email, two-factor authentication, password, email notifications and the weekly summary) and API keys (Babelize API keys for the CLI, SDK and MCP server, and your own AI keys)
Support
- Docs: This documentation
- Help: Search, common questions, guides, and how to reach us
The bell icon at the top shows your notifications. What's new is in the changelog.
Home
- Needs attention: pull requests ready to merge, failed babels, texts that weren't translated, new text to translate, auto-localize paused, unfinished drafts, and low credits
- Get started: a checklist (connect GitHub, import a repository, run your first babel, merge the pull request) until you've done it all
- Stat cards and activity: credits left, and this month's texts translated, babels and merged pull requests, then a chart of activity over 7, 30 or 90 days and credits by project
- Projects and recent babels: with language coverage for each project
Plan & usage
- Your plan: the plan, a meter of this month's credits and when they renew, plus your project, team and language limits
- Usage: credits used, texts translated, babels and translations reused over the last 7, 30 or 90 days, and credits by project. Credits used outside a project (by the CLI's local translation or the SDK) show as a CLI & SDK row
- API usage: requests today against your daily limit, and requests per API key
- Billing: your subscription, payments, and Upgrade or Change plan
See Billing & Plans.
Project page
When you open a project, you'll see:

| Pull request (or Output for ZIP projects) | The latest babel's result: Review the translations and code changes, open or update the pull request (GitHub projects), or Download project (ZIP projects) |
| Auto-localize | Translate every push to the project's branch (Growth and Studio). See GitHub Integration |
| Languages and Credits used | The languages you translate into, and the credits the project has used |
| Brand Voice Prompt | Tone and style instructions for translations. See Brand Voice |
| Language Switcher | Code for a language switcher you can add to your app |
| Babels History | Every babel of this project, with its status, trigger and cost |
| Project details | Repository, branch, commit, stack, translation service and team, with shortcuts to Team, Memory, Glossary and Chat |
