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.

Locize editor

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.

Locize cli

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 ultimate setup for modern teams. 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.
