Use Prismy Hosted when you don’t want to plug Prismy into GitHub or GitLab. Prismy stores your translation files; you push and pull via API or CLI, and your app can use CDN-hosted versions that update automatically when you change content.
Prefer to keep translations in your Git repo? Use GitHub or GitLab integration instead.

​
How it works

  1. Push & pull files — Upload and download translation files using the API or the CLI (prismy push / prismy pull).
  2. Prismy hosts the files — Translations live in Prismy; no need to store them in your repository.
  3. Configure in Prismy — In the Prismy Hosted config you set up repositories and bundles (e.g. which languages, which file structure).
  4. CDN-hosted versions — Each time files are updated, Prismy publishes a CDN-hosted version. You can use that URL directly in your app to load the latest translations (e.g. at runtime or build time).

Use the CLI for local dev or CI; use the API when you need to integrate from your own backend or scripts.

​
Configure repos and bundles

In the Prismy Hosted section of your Prismy dashboard, you define:
  • Repositories — One per project or app.
  • Bundles — Groups of translation files (e.g. by feature or locale). Each bundle has a name and language settings.
Once configured, use the same repo_id and bundle-name in your API calls or CLI commands.

​
CDN-hosted files

When you update a translation file (via API or CLI), Prismy updates the hosted copy and refreshes the CDN URL for that file. You can:
  • Use the CDN URL in your app to fetch the latest JSON (or other format) at runtime.
  • Or pull files in CI with the CLI and commit them to your repo—your choice.
The CDN URL is available in your Prismy Hosted configuration in the dashboard.
