How it works
Use Locize in a way that matches your team: from classic file workflows to fully automated continuous localization.
File-Based Management
For teams who prefer manual control over their translation assets.
Classic Import / Export
Work with the formats you know. Upload your JSON, XLIFF, or Gettext files, manage them in our high-productivity editor, and export them back to your repository.
The Benefit: Total manual control with the power of Locize’s Smart Translation Memory and AI-assisted suggestions.

Automated Pipelines
Sync your localization with your CI/CD or Git workflow.
CLI, API, and GitHub Actions
Remove the "human middleman." Use our API, CLI Sync tool or GitHub Action to automatically download the latest translations every time you build your application.
The Benefit: Your codebase and translations are always in sync without a developer ever having to manually download a file again.
Continuous Localization
The "Hands-Off" approach for maximum speed.
Live Sync via CDN
The zero-deployment setup: translations go live via CDN without code changes. Your app connects directly to the Locize CDN.
- Auto-Discovery: New text in your code is automatically added to Locize.
- Instant Publishing: Translators save a change, and it’s live in your app instantly.
- Zero Deployments: Update copy, fix typos, or add languages without a single line of code change.

Translation Branches
Keep translations and code changes moving together.
Branches that mirror your dev workflow
Translation branches work like code branches. Create a branch from any version, translate new strings in isolation, and merge back when the feature ships. Your translators and your engineers stay in sync — translations and code changes move together.
Designed for teams using GitFlow, feature branches, or any workflow where translations need to be isolated until a release is ready.
