We've all been navigating some big shifts in how product teams operate. AI tools are changing how we work, roles are shifting (or combining), and everyone is moving closer to the codebase. At Ditto, we've been hard at work building the right solutions for product copy, in these new ways of working. Because while these shifting workflows have unlocked new levels of speed, that doesn't mean quality standards can slip, and shipping the right words is more important than ever.

Let's do a deep dive on everything we've shipped this month, now available in all Ditto workspaces.

But first: AI-powered localization workflows are coming soon to Ditto

Localization is a core part of a comprehensive product copy workflow. Run your full localization workflow, with built-in AI-native translation and review capabilities, inside every Ditto project.

Bring localization into one centralized copy system, with the power of an AI companion to manage translations, enforce locale-specific style guides, and get to final, faster.

GitHub Review Bot (now in beta)

Bring Ditto to your product team’s GitHub repo.

The new Ditto PR review bot automatically reviews pull requests and checks the strings before they ship. Ditto will check strings against your style guide rules, surface existing library component text to reuse, and post suggestions as a comment directly in the PR.

Bring copy governance to the engineer's workflow — not a separate review step. Catch inconsistencies and opportunities for reuse, at the exact moment a string is introduced, and before anything ships.

Read more about the beta, and get onboarded.

Run bulk checks against your style guides

Run a bulk style guide check across your selection, right from the Ditto plugin, using the "Check against style guide" quick action.

Ditto will review all the text items you’ve selected against your workspace style guides, flag any inconsistencies, and list the specific rules right inline — with a direct link to view and navigate to each rule.

Now, you can review individual text items, or enforce your copy style guides in bulk.

Ditto MCP: Connect Your Style Guides and Library

The Ditto MCP connects Ditto to Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agentic tool. When an AI agent writes UI copy, it drafts from your style guide, checks existing strings for reuse, and flags anything that doesn't align.

What agents can do:

• Check existing text in Ditto (both text items and library components) to reuse
• Reference style guide rules when generating copy
• Create and update style guide rules

… all from right within your AI tool of choice.

Read the Ditto MCP documentation for step-by-step setup instructions.

Workspace Developer ID Config

Define how developer IDs are generated across the workspace — separating the format rules from the IDs themselves.

Define Dev ID characters and casing, set up universal character replacements, and set character limits, to enforce consistent ID formats with a system to generate correctly from the start.

Head to the Developers page in the Ditto web app to configure Dev IDs.

Bulk Editing Developer IDs

Multi-select text items or library components, and edit developer IDs in bulk with a new UI in the Ditto web app. See multiple Dev IDs from one screen, edit all of them at once with a prefix field entry, set bulk character limits, or add a prefix to all fields.

This makes it easy to work through edits quickly, across project areas or specific features, without being bound by workspace-level configuration.

Nested folders

Organize projects into nested folder hierarchies. Create, rename, move, and drag-and-drop folders. Breadcrumbs keep you oriented. Permissions inherit from root folders automatically.

Improved style guides

Ditto's Style Guides have gotten easier to create, review, and manage. New Style Guide UI makes it easier to build out rules, now with all examples easy to scan from one view.

New customizable sections makes it easy for your Ditto Style Guide to match the content structure in any former style guides. The new structure also offers better support for word lists and terminology.

Set text items as “Integrated”

Text items can now be toggled as Integrated, to distinguish which copy is integrated into code.

Then, you can search or filter the copy in your workspace by the Integrated flag, to easily manage and work on only live copy.

You can also use this tag in your webhook integrations, or run an API pull with it.

Other exciting updates:

Ditto Reviewers Can Now Suggest Edits

Users with comment-only access can now submit suggested edits on text items in Ditto. They can switch to suggesting mode, and accept any existing suggestions, but those accepts will stay as a suggestion rather than being directly applied.

Variant Search

When you're viewing a project with a variant selected, search and filters will now match against that variant's text — not the base copy. This should make Ditto’s search functionality much more useful for localization projects.

API Enhancements and Updates

We've been shipping a lot of updates to our API as we've seen teams deepen their integration with Ditto, making product copy workflows more flexible and more connected.

• Filter components and text items by assignee, tags: Pull filtered content via the CLI using AND/OR tag logic. Makes it much easier to sync only the copy that's relevant to a given surface or team.
• Plurals field added to text items and components
• New “Integrated” flag in the API: Run API pulls on only copy that has been toggled to Integrated
• Added the ability to fetch text in new formats: .json ICU, .json Vue I18n, iOS .strings, .stringsdict, and .xml via the new GET /v2/textItems/export and GET /v2/textItems/export endpoints
