LowLex v0.1: a light translation server to replace Tolgee. One static Go binary with the web UI embedded, or Docker Compose.

What is in it

• Backend (Go): standard library HTTP, pure-Go SQLite (WAL), argon2id passwords, provider keys encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM). Listens on 4747 or LOWLEX_HOST/LOWLEX_PORT from .env.
• First admin: admin / lowlex, must be changed at first sign-in; or set LOWLEX_ADMIN_PASSWORD. lowlex reset-password <user> for recovery.
• People: global admin/user accounts; per-project manager, developer, reviewer, translator, viewer, with per-language limits for translators and reviewers.
• Translation: editor with filters and side-by-side languages; suggestions and batch fill from Google Cloud Translation, DeepL, Microsoft Translator, LibreTranslate and any OpenAI-compatible model.
• Files: import/export JSON (flat, nested), CSV, PO, Android, iOS .strings, .properties, ZIP of many (Tolgee export ZIPs import directly).
• Integration: per-project read/write API keys, activity log.
• UI: SvelteKit static app with CodeAtlas UI 4.5 and the LowBloat theme, in English and Brazilian Portuguese.
• Packaging: scripts/build.sh (Linux, macOS, Windows × amd64/arm64), distroless Dockerfile, compose.yaml, release workflow for tags.

Verified

• go test ./... (API flow, roles, import/export, API keys, cross-origin check, AI provider with a fake server, format round trips).
• Linux binary on Arch Linux: forced password change flow.
• Docker Compose deploy on the dev server: healthy, ~25 MB image, ~45 MB RAM, end-to-end smoke test.
• This workflow's build job under act: check, tests, six platform builds, artifact upload.
• Not run: the macOS binaries (no Mac available).

CodeAtlas UI workarounds

• AppShellLayout: a nav item stays active on its sub-paths, so an overview item and a more specific sibling are both active codeatlasdev/ui#408: project pages under /p/ because a nav item stays active on sub-paths.
• AuthLayout: panel background is a fixed brand gradient with blobs, no token or prop for a flat panel codeatlasdev/ui#409: flat auth panel instead of the fixed gradient.
• Theme: light brand presets get a --ca-brand-text that fails contrast in the light scheme (~1.6:1) codeatlasdev/ui#410: darker brand text in the light scheme for contrast.
