info_outline About

Lokalise is an app localization platform. Created by a small company in Riga, it sells to developers first.

Features

• Web-based project management suite
• JS-based web editor with TM, QA, TB and integrated MT
• Over-the-air updates. Proxy-like functionality for mobile apps translation that allows in-Context UI editing
• API and command line tool for integrations
• Reporting dashboard
• Screenshot uploading and string matching
• A set of connectors including IFFT

Best for

• Mobile application developers

Lokalise differentiates from other TMS via a strong visual localization functionality and ability to integrate into developer tools. On the other hand, it lacks the complexity of workflow customization needed for supply chain automation, and thus using it as the main tool in multi-step, multi-vendor workflows typical of the localization industry might prove challenging.
