"Fast, Effortless Localization Database Search"
5/5
What do you like best about Gridly?

I love the ability to go through a localization database and find the required entries with almost no waiting time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gridly?

Lack of character count indication. Sometimes display issues occur, and you need to copy two entries to count their lengths, while it could be done on the user side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Vaclav Kamenicek of Gridly

Thanks a lot for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re really glad to hear Gridly helps you move quickly through large localization databases and supports LQA work in game localization.

Regarding character counts: Gridly shows character length indicators once a length limit is defined for a string or column. You can set these limits directly in the Grid (for individual entries or in bulk), including options for target-language expansion. When a limit is active, the UI displays the current character count and highlights over-length strings automatically, so there’s no need to copy text elsewhere to measure it.

If your workflow relies on checking text fit during LQA, adding length limits (or importing them from a “max length” column) will make those indicators visible directly in the Grid and CAT editor. See more details here - https://help.gridly.com/en/length-limit

"Gridly simplified the headache that comes with complex localization workflows for us."
5/5
What do you like best about Gridly?

Can be as complex or simple as you want, different settings for different users. Safe to manage and process large sets of data with history and branches, where you can set up sanity checks to validate your data . It's easy to export in anyway you'd like - so product integration is easy. Great and responsive customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gridly?

It's hard to think about a dislike - we've used this system for a long time over many projects, but we've run into some technical issues over the years, especially in the early days, but much less frequent as it has matured. Any issues have always been resolved quickly and we never experienced any loss of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gridly has really changed the way we think about Localization!"
5/5
What do you like best about Gridly?

We've used Gridly now for multiple years and haven't looked back!

Gridly is a very accessible tool that basically anyone can hop into and get their way around. If anything has not functioned properly or we have suggestions, their team is always there to receive it.

The addition of their automation tool in your grids has helped a lot with our pipeline and sped our work up, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gridly?

The loading of data when using the grids has definitely improved since we came on but can still be slow from time to time.

The user groups and permissions side in the backend can be very confusing and I'd love if you could get a "view as" function to help see what they would see before inviting people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Ultimate Localisation Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Gridly?

When it comes to localisation, Gridly is truly a master of all trades -- and as feature-rich as it is, it's so easy to use that you'll breeze through everything it has to offer in no time. With our entire localisation pipeline built around Gridly, we haven't regretted it for a moment!

Depending on your needs, you can simply use Gridly as an advanced localisation spreadsheet and endpoint for all your localisations, but with many twists, including TMs, histories, and countless filtering and sorting options, all within a single collaborative grid!

For larger projects -- or just for convenience -- Gridly has a huge amount of customisation and automation options that will save you time and effort every step of the way. You can even integrate scripts directly into your grids! Just to give you an idea, you can set up your own AI automations if you have the skills. Or simply link any of your existing Google sheets or Figma projects to Gridly to save headaches for everyone involved. No more manual copying!

The Gridly team is also available almost 24/7 to help you with both silly and complicated issues (or whatever else you may come across while using it), which has saved our team many times.

With the forthcoming addition of CAT, Gridly is rightly set to become the perfect tool for both translators and managers in one! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gridly?

As much as I love Gridly (and its team!), there's still little room for improvement in terms of usability.

For a Firefox user, it's disappointing that Gridly offers poor support for browsers other than Chrome, which basically means that some features don't work well outside of it -- you might consider having Chrome on hand if you're not using it as your main browser.

Occasional bugs may also occur with newer features, but the development team takes each one seriously and works quickly to fix them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
