    Pros
    The customer service is excellent because they even provide you the opportunity to have a call with them in which they will guide you on how to use the software.
    What's great about Lokalise is that they provide both outstanding SaaS and great translation service, which creates a frictionless workflow that we need to keep ever changing content translated.
    Easy to use, nice Layout, features that help automate the data exchange, QA features, Tools to discuss the best translation, or to clarify the meaning of something. API to communicate with Lokalise.
    Cons
    Versioning is a bit confusing at first because it uses a different paradigm than what you are used to with their notions of release vs pre-release (and not tied to a semantic version for instance).
    It is hard to get an overview about all the keys in use. Sometimes, depending on the QA state, it is difficult to find a specific key.
    Plan limitation for users in team can sometime be too restrictive if you ave to manage different users per project.

    LOKALISE is a must for mobile apps

    Reviewed 3 years ago
    Pros

    Lokalise made things very simple for the mobile team leading our multilingual app development. Versions x.1 have no longer been launched for typing reasons (in the past we always had to launch small updates to fix typos or to rephrase things that were not clear). The "intelligence" in Lokalise, recommending words that are similiar to the ones already used in other sections of the app is incredible.

    Cons

    To be honest: nothing. In the team we do not understand how we could live before implementing Lokalise.

    Just What We Needed

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    We have used Lokalise to integrate our translatable codebase with translations, and leverage paid and volunteer translators to help us increase our language coverage. We also had a need for a system that non-technical translators could easily understand and use.

    Pros

    The best things about Lokalise are the integration with other tools like Github and Slack, as well as the UI and the access controls. I like how easy it's been to import and export sources and translations to and from our code repositories, and the ease with which we can control who can do what within different languages.

    Cons

    I have very little to complain about. The only thing worth mentioning is sometimes a slight delay because of time zone in getting support when we were first learning how to use it, because we're in Arizona and they're in Latvia. But that's a very minor inconvenience!

    Great software for translation services

    Reviewed 3 years ago
    Pros

    What I like most about this software are the video tutorials that guide you through each part of the website. The customer service is excellent because they even provide you the opportunity to have a call with them in which they will guide you on how to use the software. I also enjoy the fact that I can work with my colleagues from other states in my country. The nonprofit I work has two locations in two different states and we have to do a lot of translation services, so this software is excellent.

    Cons

    I could not use it on my phone. I've tried multiple times to scan the QR code to perform my task on the phone but when it reaches to the final stage a message pops up which says "Shake the phone now to open the Lokaalise Debug Menu, and enable Live Mode by toggling the only switch there". However, when I shake my phone nothing happens.

    A great product fit for a startup with several apps and an international customer base

    Reviewed 4 years ago

    We've been able to implement clear, simple processes and improve the quality of the translation and localisation of our apps and websites.

    Pros

    First and foremost, the team are extremely communicative and helpful. Every question we asked was answered in minutes and they gave us fantastic and friendly assistance to get us onboarded swiftly. 100% awesome. The QA feature found literally thousands of errors throughout our translations — we had missed these for *years* using our previous tool. We export our translations for use in an iOS and...

    Cons

    Nothing really, this has been a real upgrade in process and quality for us.

    Great user experience and nice API

    Reviewed 3 years ago
    Pros

    We use it to manage around 8000 keys in 12 different languages. The service is very easy to use and has a really nice user interface that is joy to work with. Another helpful feature is the batch support, which allows for managing/updating many translations with just a few mouse clicks. Furthermore, we use the CLI to fetch the translations and embed them in our React native and Ruby on Rails apps.

    Cons

    Searching of translation keys could be improved at bit by supporting for example wildcard searches, but that's just a minor thing.
