What is Lokalise?
Lokalise is a localization platform for translating and shipping web and mobile apps, games, websites and long-form content. Its AI translation follows your approved terminology, tone of voice and vocabulary. It supports Custom AI Profiles and AI Scoring, and it automatically routes each job to the LLM that fits best.
AI quality checks score the translations, and only low-confidence results go to human reviewers. Teams can automate translation memory, QA checks, approvals and publishing, and content stays in sync as new releases ship. Developers get a REST API with 95 endpoints, 33 webhooks, 10 SDKs, a CLI, and over-the-air updates for mobile apps. More than 60 integrations are available, including Figma, GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Contentful, Webflow and WordPress.
Lokalise fits product, engineering and localization teams doing continuous localization. Paid plans start at $149/mo, and every plan comes with a 14-day free trial.
