What Is Lokalise?

Lokalise centralizes translation strings, files, screenshots, context, tasks, glossaries, style guides, and translation memory for localization teams. AI Translations can use project context and custom AI profiles, while AI LQA evaluates quality; integrations, APIs, CLI tooling, and repository connections help automate localization across design, development, content, and support workflows.

Best for: Product and localization teams that need continuous translation tied closely to software development and design workflows.

Lokalise connects localization content from code, design, and product workflows, then routes it through machine or AI translation and human review. Its workflow system can assign automated translation and later review stages, while glossary and style guidance can be supplied to AI, giving product teams more control than a standalone text translator.
