Lokalise

Avantages

It is easy to use and implement for both tech team and translators. To best of our knowledge, it is not missing any features we might need and we can easily add new languages and even take advantage of Google Translate.

Inconvénients

I found the Admin section bit confusing in the past but their team explained it quickly in the live chat.

Avantages

Makes it easy and fast for us to translate new strings for our application. Gives us access to professional translators without the hassle to export / reimport the strings in different formats like i'v done in the past (Excel sheets).

Their support is very responsive and comprehensive

Avantages

I really like lokalise because it allows translators to have a real scenario and context, and the same for our proofreaders.

Inconvénients

Its price. We found it really expensive.

Avantages

It's a easy to use tool with a friendly design; Support is good and reactive.
Must have to handle translation on multi platforms.

Inconvénients

While lokalise's improving a lot, there's still some cases to handle, like android menu items or strings using in customs views;

Avantages

Excellent CAT-tool makes my work extremely enjoyable and rewarding. Features that are actually useful, no clutter, a focus mode that lets me focus on translation - all of these features make it one of the best tools for mobile app/game localization.

Inconvénients

Pricing is a bit steep if you ask me, however there even more expensive tools out there. I believe features and functionality is well worth the trade-off.

Avantages

Very easy to use, and great and very fast support.

Inconvénients

I missed the BitBucket integration, but that's added too :-)

Avantages

I like the tight integration with our Ruby on rails backend. It makes deploying translations easy. I also like how easy it is to order translations from them, get free machine translations, or hire your own private translator.

Inconvénients

It used to be expensive, but the new pricing model reduced our yearly fee from $2,000/year to $200/year, so it's now a great value

Avantages

a lot of features and integrations
it makes easy to collaborate with external translators
gives you an overview of the translation state

Inconvénients

we had only one issue with the plans but the support solved it immediately.
in general the interface for the administrator is a bit cluttered
the prices offered inside of the app for the translations are a bit too high wrt the market, but you can use your own people to translate the app, so it's not a big issue

Avantages

It's extremely easy to use, intuitive, fast, full of all the little features we needed.

Inconvénients

It can always be cheaper. but it's still great value for the money!

Avantages

Simply amazing!

Avantages

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 Android app — there are variable placeholders in several files and Lokalise makes it super simple to define these so they are exported to the correct format for the target platform; no need to write scripts to convert from iOS "%@" to Android "%s" etc...

Additionally, we love the platform-specific features; being able to specifically disable a key for export on iOS or Android, or change the name of the key when exported, so that it can match that platform's conventions.

The pricing model is sensible, you are charged on translation keys and not penalised for adding new languages. Again, this is way better than other solutions on the market.

When importing translations, Lokalise is intelligent and recognises the language.

All the modern (and obscure) localisation formats that we needed were available.

The web interface is intuitive and easy to learn, you can tab across navigate quickly.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

nice tool for localized string manager
easy to use api tool

Inconvénients

sometime slow in website when searching a key

Avantages

Ability to choose multiple vendors is great.
Updating text on runtime is great.
Support is great.

Inconvénients

Dashboard is harder to get used to and overall is not really easy to use

Avantages

When trying to localize software, you can delegate the translation duties to anyone capable of doing the translation - be they inside or outside your company. It's simple to use and integrates well into app development and CI/CD workflows!

Inconvénients

Tracking and giving permissions to languages in projects with many people doing translations is less than ideal but not a dealbreaker.

Avantages

- Good UX
- Very good tech onboarding and docs
- Excellent features for mobile developers, translators and for continuous integration
- Excellent customer support
- Good translations api integration.
- Exciting new features to come.

Inconvénients

The product is still young but the current quality is already very good.
Some subtle details can still be improved.

Avantages

Ease of use, super fast and friendly online support.

Inconvénients

Can’t remember any, so far I didn’t have any negative experiences

Avantages

Functionality and support are amazing! There are a lot of useful​ features. Support works 24/7

Inconvénients

I like this product, there is nothing that I don't like.

Avantages

Lokalise is easy to use to share terms with various people involved in a project. It's a cloud system, so we didn't need to implement special software either. We use to manage our terms with Excel, so sharing terms with others were not so easy.

Inconvénients

We put tags on each term but as the number of tags used in a project increases, it becomes difficult to find a specific tag from the list.

Avantages

- good to set up a team.
- nice design
- good integration with GitHub
- good customer support

Inconvénients

- GitHub integration needs some effort. It would be nice if it has a one-click solution
