About the company
Degreed is an online platform that focuses on learning, talent development, and skill-building. It offers users access to a wide range of educational resources, helping individuals and organizations enhance their skills and knowledge. The platform integrates various learning experiences, tracks progress, and provides personalized development plans, making it a comprehensive solution for continuous professional growth and development.
The Challenge
Degreed, an online platform for learning, talent development, and skill-building, operates in 40 countries and multiple languages. The primary challenge was to simultaneously ship features with high-quality translations. This required a reliable and automated process to deliver accurate information instantly to all team members. The lack of visual context for linguists resulted in a high volume of queries and inefficient localization processes.
The Solution
Degreed integrated Rigi into their continuous development workflow (CI/CD), providing visual context to every team member.
This integration allowed for a more efficient localization process and higher-quality translations. Rigi’s dynamic visual context for over 90% of UI texts significantly reduced questions from linguists. The coverage report feature helped clean up more than 50% of unused strings in the database, streamlining the entire process.
From 2 days to 2 minutes
We signed up with Rigi about 4 months ago. During the initial setup and integration, Henk and his team were very responsive and helpful. The Rigi team worked hard to get us up and running on time. Since then, the quality of our translations has improved. This improvement is due to the visual context that our linguists now have.”

The Outcome
With Rigi, Degreed reduced the time spent answering linguist queries by 80%. The integration ensured that localization was in sync with the planned product release cycle. Linguists now receive the necessary visual context, resulting in a dramatic decrease in queries. The quality of translations improved, and the process became highly efficient. This streamlined approach allowed Degreed to ship features with accurate translations across all languages more effectively.
I used to spend 1-2 days each iteration answering questions from linguists. Now with Rigi’s help, I only have 1 or 2 questions total! We also have more than 50% of unused strings in our database. The coverage report feature was a huge help in getting that cleaned up. Thank you Henk and the Rigi team for this continued partnership!”
