Pros:

Locize is made by the creators of i18next, the best i18n JavaScript library out there. All the toolkit Locize provides is open source and mostly well-documented. Also, their business model is very fair - instead of charging based on user number, they charge on usage.

Cons:

The UI design of Locize panel as well as the in-place editor feels a little clunky, maybe old-fashioned. A slight refresh would be a good idea.

Reasons for choosing Locize

I also evaluated Crowdin and PhraseApp. Crowdin seems to be way outdated, with a very weird workflow of having to upload all the content to Crowdin before you can start translating it. This is totally backwards. The translation process should start and end on the website or application I'm translating. Phraseapp and Locize do it the right way, but it's the Locize that's open source based, and this was a strong reason why we chose to go for them

Pros:

I like that interoperates well with i18next React library. That's how I got to try it out. Learning on the way while using the service. Appreciated the nice API integration. Has more features than needed, nice that one can disable not used features.

Cons:

Has a bit of a learning curve to set it up and start using initially. But after 1/2 day of learning the docs and watching some Youtube tutorial videos I managed to set it up successfully.

Reasons for choosing Locize

The other service was slow to give support, trial expired, asked for extension but nothing happened. Also Phrase comes with packages that are more expensive for a 1-2 developer team.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Locize has been a reliable and valuable asset for your translation management needs. Your praise for our seamless integration with i18next React and extensive features is greatly appreciated. We understand the initial learning curve can be challenging, but we're glad our documentation and support were helpful. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we're committed to providing top-notch service at competitive prices. Thank you for choosing Locize.

Pros:

Cons:

Confusing UI in areas related to cancelling the subscription, for some reasons I was able to delete my account but subscription fee was still collected. After contact with the support, they explained me with exclamation marks that it's 100% my fault and they will not do the refund.

Vendor Response

As we also explained Krzysztof there is no connection between a user in a project and the billing. His project had 3 admin users so removing his own user did not cancel the service (beside that removing the last admin user would not be allowed by the application). There is an explicit button on the billing page to cancel the subscription or like always sending us an email would have been enough. We decided to not refund the $5.30 as there was no fault on our side.

Thank you, Georgi, for your amazing review and the perfect rating! 🌟 We’re glad you enjoy the ease of use and the ability to work directly on-site. Regarding your feedback about similar words in translation, we’d love to understand more about your experience. Could you please email us with more details?

Pros:

The tenant feature. It is an excellent option for B2B companies with many clients or for companies that operate different brands in different locales. With the tenant feature, you don't need to upload translations per brand, region, or company. It is set in a way so that you need to upload differences only. Preview of changes. Double-checking never gets old:)Namespaces. They allow you to group your keys by feature or page on a website.The price. It's really affordable and the billing depends on your usage.

Cons:

Performance. The more keys and words are in the project, the longer they are saved. Backup. It's totally useless. Please, make it user-friendly so I can download all keys and texts in one file. Not per namespace and language.Lack of automation. Thank you for improving these options, but it's still not enough. Please add more options for copying languages (per space), or add a possibility to set rules for automated uploading as your competitors have.The history feature needs improvement.Documentation and customer support service could be more professional. You will receive some basic information but sometimes it's not enough.

Reasons for choosing Locize

1) Locize gave the possibility to create Tenant projects. 2) No limit on users3) Price

Vendor Response

Thank you for your detailed review. We appreciate your positive remarks about our tenant feature, pricing, and namespaces. We're sorry to hear about your concerns. We're actively working on improving performance on very big projects like yours, backup functionality, and automation options. Your input is crucial for our ongoing enhancements. Please note that we recently added the copy language functionality, and we'll continue to improve it. We apologize for any shortcomings in documentation and customer support. We're committed to providing better resources and service. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to enhance our platform. Thank you for choosing us for your localization needs.

Simply awesome TMS

I've been using Locize for a while now, and I couldn't be happier with its localization services. The platform is user-friendly, efficient, and has greatly streamlined our translation workflow. The real-time collaboration features have been a game-changer for our team. Locize's support is also top-notch – they are always responsive and ready to assist. Overall, Locize has made managing localization a breeze, and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a robust localization solution.

Cons:

Others didn't have enough features, and when I tested it, I thought it was slow.

Thank you for your feedback Sagar. Regarding backend development: locize was born out of i18next which works on client and server side in JavaScript environments. But locize offers all locize functionalities also via CLI or API.

Pros:

+ pluralization + continuous localization + no need to download the words, usage via API + CDN's all over the world (even china) + super fast support In two previous projects, I used "locize" as the localization and translation service. I helped big time to improve the time to market, especially when working in an agile environment. Translators can start working even before the code is pushed to a pre-production environment and therefore everything is translated already when we are ready to go live. Your process becomes truly continuous. We haven't been agile for years when it came to multi language applications - thanks to locize, we are now!

Cons:

- documentation could be a bit more intuitive
