Lokalise Reviews & Product Details

I am obsessed with how quick the team is to respond to my millions of questions. Not only are they friendly and easy to communicate with, but they are patient and fun to chat with!

I use Lokalise almost every single day as I need to translate documentation for my customers. It's easy to use, and if there's something confusing, there is almost always a guide that I can use to help diagnose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't anything inherently that I dislike about the tool because I understand and recognize there are a myriad of industries and even more use cases for this tool.

Localization is important for so many organizations and I'm grateful that Lokalise can help make that process a little bit easier, even if there are still improvements to be made in the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the simplicity of key management with Lokalise, which has greatly facilitated our workflow compared to the previous use of cumbersome and labor-intensive spreadsheets, filled with manual and risky tasks. Moreover, the good support provided by the Lokalise teams, especially via chat, has really helped to simplify the initial setup and to train me on using the software effectively. Their centralized features allow for quick and efficient management of translations, which proves invaluable for our professional projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the Lokalise tool presents bugs, which can be frustrating even if support can easily unblock us. In trying to be very user-friendly, Lokalise does not allow certain desired actions, such as removing a tag once a workflow is completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Lokalise for its editor interface, which excels in usability and operational efficiency. The editor makes changing things a breeze and facilitates performing bulk operations, which is crucial for maintaining large-scale projects. I find editing and adding new keys particularly easy, which streamlines the maintenance process across various products and keys, all while maintaining high standards and simplifying quality assurance. My overall experience with Lokalise started smoothly, especially once we established a workflow, demonstrating its capacity for seamless integration. This ease of use combined with my ability to integrate Lokalise with other tools such as GitHub, S3, and NodeJS SDK, underscores its versatility and adaptability to existing tech stacks. Considering these factors, I confidently rate Lokalise a 10 out of 10 in terms of recommendation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that the lack of key variations in Lokalise is a drawback, as it makes A/B testing of texts more challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Lokalise's AI translation is powered by existing translations and our glossary, ensuring coherent and accurate translations, which is crucial for our banking app that needs consistency across languages. The tool allows me to easily create tasks for our UX Writer to review translated content, which significantly streamlines our workflow. I find the interface relatively easy to use, with an array of powerful features that cater to our diverse translation needs. I'm extremely impressed with Lokalise's support team; they are very reactive and helpful, which makes resolving any issues a smooth, hassle-free experience. Additionally, Lokalise is notably more powerful and has a much cleaner interface compared to other tools I've used in the past, like Phrase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the Lokalise Figma plugin a bit restrictive because it doesn't display linked key names on the first level, and I cannot batch-unlink linked keys on a mock-up. This makes working with it somewhat tedious and requires many clicks. On Lokalise itself, I struggle to delete outdated screenshots for an existing key. We use tags to easily find them since the search in the screenshot section isn't very powerful, and the tags disappear if a new key linked to a screenshot is uploaded. Another issue is the inability to do QA checks on the key names; keys ending in 1.66, a situation that arises when multiple Figma layers share the same name, create difficulties for our developers. The initial setup of Lokalise was tricky, particularly on Android devices like Oppo, where the translated version wasn't displayed correctly. Additionally, replacing all hard-coded text bits with Lokalise keys was very tedious, and our Design team needed to provide significant efforts to ensure we can feed comprehensive mock-ups for UX Writers into Lokalise.

Lokalise has made our localisation process much faster and more collaborative. As a marketer, I use it daily for communication assets across copy and design. It’s very easy to add team members and set up translators for specific languages (e.g. French, Spanish), and the workflow for assigning tasks is simple and efficient. I especially value the Figma plugin, which allows me to directly export/import assets without manual back and forth. The integration with our app is also excellent—if I upload a screenshot, Lokalise recognises the keys and instantly matches the translations. Notifications when tasks are completed help keep projects on track, and the new AI translation features are a great addition to speed up initial drafts. Their support team is also responsive and always ready to help. Overall, Lokalise has become an essential part of our localisation workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s a small learning curve in the beginning as it should be with any new tool. Some advanced features can take a bit of time to explore. Other than that, the experience has been very smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how Lokalise offers more value for less cost compared to other vendors. The initial setup was smooth, thanks to having most of the necessary information available and the helpful guides in their help center. I find the Figma plugin to be particularly beneficial, as the ability to import and export screens between Figma and Lokalise is incredibly useful for my workflow. Lokalise helps maintain consistency in translations across languages through its glossary and machine translation features. I also find batch actions, APIs, and branches very useful in handling my localization tasks. The integration with Figma and GitHub significantly streamlines my workflow. The quick support response is very reassuring; whenever I have an issue or question, Lokalise staff are prompt and helpful. Additionally, their reasonable pricing makes it a great product worth repurchasing. The visual learning videos are a great resource too. The presence of robust features like code repositories, cloud file storage, and project management, along with integrated apps, further enhances the overall experience.

I would like to see Lokalise introducing a dedicated customer service manager for pro plans. This could be beneficial for clients looking to create custom projects or workflows tailored specifically to their needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe Lokalise is brilliant, we can easily add new languages with minimal effort required from the developers. What is even more impressive is the live updates I can do on translations for most of our products (mobile for example), because there is no need for a new release, and this can be extremely helpful. And the suggested translations! They save me an insane amount of time, I still cross-reference them, check on different translation services and my own knowledge, but having a good starting point it's extremely helpful. So thank you :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not sure if I got the options wrong but I would like to receive suggestion of translations even from other projects. Sometimes I know I have already used the same phrase or similar in another project but it won't be suggested Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* Ease of Use at Scale – Managing tens of thousands of translation strings across multiple languages is surprisingly smooth. The interface is intuitive, and batch operations, filters, and tagging make day-to-day management efficient.

* Seamless Translator Integration – The built-in support for connecting with 3rd-party translation studios is a huge time-saver. It streamlines the workflow, allowing us to send content for professional translation without leaving the platform.

* AI Support with Context Editing – Lokalise recently introduced AI translation with some free token credits to try it out. The ability to edit context before applying AI suggestions is a nice touch and ensures higher quality results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* Limited Export Options by Date – One ongoing challenge is the lack of a native export feature by date range. To filter strings for export, we still need to rely on tagging, which can be cumbersome when managing frequent updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the current feature set is strong, we would like to see more AI-driven functionality included in the subscription plans. This could further enhance automation, speed, and accuracy for certain tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a designer, I love the fact that Figma screens can be linked to Lokalise.

It gives translators visual context to choose the best copy, and I can easily bring the translations to Figma.

I also appreciate how fast customer support is to help you.

Asking for translations within Lokalise doesn't take too much time.

The tagging and platform system really help with the key separation per features and platform.

I love that the interface has a dark mode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Figma plugin could be a bit easier. It's better than before, but it could be even easier probably.

Gengo translations don't cover all languages, and they created duplicated language rows in my project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
