Lokalise Reviews

Lokalise makes localization SO easy, even when working with extremely large teams. It's also packed full of features that make managing localizing easy, like SDKs for iOS and Android, easy batch edit tools and integrations with third party apps like Slack so we get notified when new strings are added. The duplicate editor has allowed us to drastically cut down on translation time. Finally, the latest feature we found and love is translation memory which allows us to translate a common word or phrase once and then Lokalise can automatically suggest it in the future.

Sometimes the website can be a bit slow... but we do have thousands of strings so I can't really blame them

The app has really reviewed translation workflows and included integrations and tools for all the roles in the team. We can say from integrating this solution with our current web app, that we were astounded by the simplicity the tool connects to the repository, get's the most current keys the developers added and easily pushes changes back to the repository. From a developers perspective this is a dream to use. The translation tools are also on par with the rest, with multiple views for editing, suggestions from major translation software (e.g. Google Translate) and placeholders support. The design is also nice and friendly and well thought out, allowing for easy understanding without needing to read documentation.

At the time of the review we haven't encountered any issues or discomforts with the solution.

--Intergration with Github --API to automate translation process --Customer support, timely response --Screenshots for context

--Unsupported file formats --TM is not context based and not per language --TM can't be exported in XLS format --String description is not available with "Allow source key editing" disabled (we do not use "Allow source key editing") --Performance issues with large files --Terminology import/export is not available with XLS format --Some functionality is not user friendly (e.g. too many dependencies, reports are not easy to read) --word count is confusing

The software suggests the translation from the history, google translation and some other places to me. I can just choose one of the right translation or choose one and correct it quickly.

Unfortunately, it is web-based software. I need to connect to the interest to work on it. And my internet connection is ADSL. Therefore, I am preferred offline software.

- It's very easy to import and export. - Automatic language detection when importing all files. - Grammar checking is very useful. - Perfect for App developers. - Multiple format support (excel, csv...) - Group keys by a specific tag or file.

* We miss being able to see all the QA's and warnings without having to create a specific filter for all of them. * We have not yet discovered how to ignore the header (first lines) of a CSV or Excel file.

- dashboard - easy to use - collaboration features - translation suggestions are really helpful

- GitHub integration is a bit complicated

- The fact that we have can have different keys that are differ based on the platform - We can add screenshots [with automatic OCR!] to add more context to our translations

They don't have support for variable-width strings (an iOS/macOS feature) [yet?], this isn't a life changing feature per se, but would be nice

I love this service because it is built for software engineers in mind. It supports all the different file formats you might need, works super well with the different languages, great APIs and integration with other services that we use. It's top in the class and pricing is very reasonable. Our translation team loves the product team and for them, it's ease of use and supportive UI that really helps you catch small mistakes. Highly recommend!!

I really like that you can order translations with just a few clicks, but it's hard to know who is translating the text. It would be great if you would have the same person assigned to your project and could directly talk with him.

1. Easy to use I tried to use a couple of other translation platforms before but Lokalise is the easiest to learn and use. Our open source translators were satisfied as well. 2. Developer friendly Automatic Github integration, handy upload and download, and other developer friendly features 3. Free for open source projects Lokalise contributes to the open source ecosystem together offering its wonderful services for free for open source projects. I already recommended Lokalise to other open source projects. 4. Customer services The customer services are super detailed and fast. Even I'd like to know how the team manages the CS department and educate the team by themselves.

Does not support md(markdown) files, which are one of the most popular extensions to maintain documentation.

Great features and support Workflow and task manager fits like a glove with our needs

Couple of minor user interface improvements could be made

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.

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!

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.

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

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...

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

Lokalise has completely transformed how we translate our apps. We don't have to struggle with zip files flying around via email and are able to quickly and efficiently produce new builds for review. Once we had fixed the main problem, we were able to use Lokalise to completely automate our translations process using web hooks. When translations are Reviewed by our provider, we pull these into Bitbucket, generate a new build and run UI tests to generate Screenshots which are sent to the client within one hour. This process used to take at least 5 days per language.

Honestly, not much. the only problem we've had is with User Permissions, users report not being able to see Languages but it's always because we haven't updated their permissions.

Lokalise has a whole range of thought-through features and their support has been outstanding. We were looking for integrations with Sketch and Github, along with a solid Dashboard and automated translation. We found all these and more features with Lokalise. Also, their online guides and documentation pages are very helpful.

Had some very minor issues at the beginning but the support team solved these in 10 minutes. Overall our experience has been great.

Translators who work for our agency love using Lokalise. UI is very easy to understand and the fact that the clients can add screenshots of where the translated text be visible in their app is a great help as it aids in understanding the context. It is possible to see in real time the progress of the translation, which is very helpful for the project managers to see the translation progress. Customer service is very fast and questions are answered and resolved quickly.

Depending on the internet connection, it can be a bit slow sometimes, but it does not tend to distract the work.

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.

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.

Lokalise really helps us to manage all our translations. No matter if you are using it as translator or on the other side as a developer. Even though it is easy to use still have all the flexibility to customise the flows just like you need them! Also the customer support is first class and really quick!

Nothing to add here. So fare really happy with the whole experience.

Lokalise is extremely easy to use, the speed in which translations are returned to us has helped improved efficiency across our teams! Our account managers ([SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]) have always been on hand to help with any queries.

I'd like if there was some optional add on so that we could add a certain number of translations included with our package.

Easy to filter, search and edit keys. Automation of the localization​ process with translation providers. Supporting iOS and Android localization files.

Screenshots and description are crucial for the right translation. Drag & drop for a screenshot and description editing would be easier without additional popups on the main project screen. More flexible rights for members by sharing the payment method. Many of team should order translation by oneself but now it could be done only by members ​with an ​attached credit card.

Everything about Lokalise works well - the translations are spot on (and I am a native speaker of four languages so I can really tell), the UX is well thought out and intuitive, it's fast and the search function especially. One thing I really love is that Lokalise remembers how you chose to translate something, not just the generic translation. The other thing is how easy it is to collaborate across our team. KUDOS for developing this and we love using your tool. Have recommended it to many others too, and they have been happy.

Please don't change anything - this is an awesome tool and it works perfectly as is!!

- simple and easy to use - export in many formats - API - contributor managment customizable for each project - translation tools integrated

- plan limitation for users in team can sometime be too restrictive if you ave to manage different users per project

There are many things to like about Lokalise. A few stand out: * The UI is easy to understand, and helps a lot with quickly translating and reviewing a lot of content. * Customer Support is truly amazing. A very responsive team and issues are resolved quickly. * Integration with translation partners and machine learning helps to get started quickly with high-quality translations.

Getting started was a bit hard, especially integrating Lokalise into our build process. That's been almost a year though, so that might be easier now. Small bugs pop up from time to time; one of those actually broke output. But these are usually resolved very quickly when Lokalise is informed of them.

This tool facilitates a streamlined localization process amongst admin, translators and reviewers. The workflow fits very well to our needs. The User interface is friendly. Managing big amount of translation data is simple with smart filtering/sorting and extremely importantly the backup. Getting support using the online chat is super efficient. The customer service agent on the other side is polite and always helpful.

This tool works very well for us. Hard to think of anything I don't like. The team behind has done a fantastic job building this.

Perfectly efficient workflow - it is very convenient to translate your keys, you always have great context, you automatically get suggestions, and the lokalise team has perfected the UI so that you don't have to waste a single click. Love it.

Nothing major really. The buttons for the functions within a translation project (upload, download, etc.) could be a bit bigger and self-explanatory. It's only rather small items where you have to learn what is where (although they do have tooltips of course).
