What is the software localization process?

Software-localization is the process of transforming the language of a web app, game or any web content to the end user's locale. A translation management platform helps tech companies and developers to increase the confidence for new potential customers, as localized products are best for local markets. The primary benefit of locize is to simplify the core process of localization with a very easy to use translation management platform. Starting with just one piece of code the translations can be managed with an easy interface and can be deployed separately with no delays.

Customer Testimonials

Hear what our customers have to say!

With the introduction of Locize, we had an overview of the status of translations or which text content still needed to be translated from the very beginning.

Thanks to the very flexible API, the current texts are integrated in every build (for technical reasons, ZKB cannot use an external CDN).

The handling is self-explanatory for translators.

Locize also has excellent support and very reasonable conditions.

Severin Dietschi, Product Owner
ZKB (Zürcher Kantonalbank)

Thanks to the generous support and the features of Locize, the headless websites of the Swiss Red Cross can be translated into different languages within a short time!

Thomas Imboden, Head of Web Office
Swiss Red Cross

We're using Locize for several projects, which offers different services for our international partners in the whole world.

Thanks to Locize our localization workflow is faster, more efficient and modern.

Time saving over 60%

Adding one line of code to your website is all needed to get started. All your content gets extracted and sent to your locize project ready to be translated.

Every change to your translations gets instantly reflected on your website and vice versa.

Never again copy/paste translations from a to b.

Continuous Localization Lifecycle

locize enables you to separate your development and translation process. Keep translating while your development team adds new features to your project.

Update translations anytime, anywhere. No longer depend on your development team adding the new translation files to the codebase.

Keep track of newly added segments. Never lose the overview over your translation progress.

Context Matters — InContext Editing

Doing proper translations needs more information by providing the context. The best context is always the place where the content is used – your website!

Our incontext editor enables you to directly update your translations from within your website.

Every text segment is one click away! Stop wasting time searching...

Alternatively, there's the possibility to upload some screenshots and assign them to your translations.

Translation Management

You can translate your content using our powerful editor.

Invite your inhouse translators giving them the rights for the languages needed.

Got a language not covered? Need extra help or prefer to completely outsource the job? Choose one of our translation service partners.

The smart translation memory

With our translation memory you never have to translate the same text again. Simply reuse your exiting translatins over and over again.

By using the translation memory you not only save time but also increase the consistency of your translations.

History

Keep track over all changes done to your project's translations. The last translation changes are audited per key.

Need to provide those information - who did when change which segment? We get you covered.

Review workflow

You can enable the review workflow for specific languages.

This way each time someone changes a translation, it will start a review workflow. The actual value will not be changed until someone will accept one of the translation proposals.

Multi-Tenant

You can create tenant projects based on your main project. All translations are anticipated for the tenant project and can be overridden, if necessary.

But the anticipated translations are not just copied, so in case you need to correct a translation in your main project, it will be automatically populated to your tenants, if not overridden.

Get translated today. Effortless & riskfree.
