Locize Reviews & Product Details

Locize is a continuous localization platform and translation management system built and run for more than 10 years by the maintainers of i18next, one of the most widely used JavaScript internationalization (i18n) frameworks. It connects developers, translators, product owners and agencies in one workflow, so software localization stops being a file-shuffling exercise and becomes a continuous part of shipping. FOR DEVELOPERS New source strings flow into Locize automatically: directly from code (saveMissing), via the CLI in your CI/CD pipeline, through the REST API, or by importing translation files such as XLIFF, Android XML, iOS String Catalogs, gettext PO, RESX, CSV, YAML and more. Namespaces and versions map naturally to your release process, and branches let you localize feature work in isolation before merging. Locize integrates natively with i18next, and its API and CLI work with any web, mobile or desktop stack. FOR TRANSLATORS AND PRODUCT TEAMS Everyone works in the same collaborative translation editor: translation memory, a glossary and a style guide keep terminology consistent; screenshots and segment context show translators exactly where a text appears; and the in-context editor lets non-developers edit translations directly on the live website. Comments, per-segment history and progress tracking are built in, and professional translation services can be ordered from within the platform when you need human linguists. MACHINE TRANSLATION AND AI, GOVERNED Use the built-in machine translation and AI translation providers or bring your own keys. Every translation permanently stores its origin - human, machine translated or AI - so machine-made content is always identifiable and auditable. AI output is quality-scored automatically, and low-confidence translations can be routed through a human review workflow before publication, giving you AI speed without giving up human control. INSTANT DELIVERY Approved translations are published to a global CDN and reach your users immediately: no redeploy, no app-store release, no waiting for the next sprint. Versioning, history and automatic backups with self-serve restore keep every change reversible. ENTERPRISE-READY AND SECURE Organizations keep access and billing straight as you grow: all projects of a company live in one organization, the team is invited once there and inherits into every project, with per-project override or block for individual members, while external translators keep a permission on the single project they work on. Administration and billing roles exist only at the organization level. SAML Single Sign-On is configured once and charged once per subscription no matter how many projects use it, 2-factor authentication can be enforced organization-wide, and organization admins can download an audit log of member and invitation changes. Multi-project tenant setups serve agencies handling per-customer translations. Locize is operated by a Swiss company with EU-based data storage and encryption in transit and at rest. TRANSPARENT PRICING Start on the free plan, then pick a fixed monthly plan from $7 to $199 per project. Every plan includes a monthly word volume and unlimited edits - modifications are never billed per change. Beyond the included volume pricing stays usage-based, just stepped: extra capacity comes in packs of 10,000 words for $5, and auto-adapt can add them automatically so a release is never blocked. All projects of an organization share one subscription and one invoice. Every account begins with a 14-day full-feature trial, no credit card required. Whether you are localizing a React, Vue, Angular, Next.js or native mobile app, migrating from spreadsheet-based translation chaos, or running localization for dozens of client projects as an agency, Locize keeps translations flowing from code to translators to production - continuously.
