For Developers Stop shuffling translation files. New source strings flow into Locize automatically - directly from code (saveMissing), via CLI in CI/CD, through the API, or by importing XLIFF, Android, iOS String Catalogs, gettext, RESX, CSV, YAML and more. Namespaces and versions map naturally to your release process, and branches let you localize feature work in isolation. For Translators and Product owners Everyone works in the same collaborative editor: translation memory, glossary and style guide keep wording consistent; screenshots and segment context show where a text lives; the in-context editor lets non-developers edit translations directly on the live website. Comments, history and progress tracking are built in. Machine Translation and AI, governed Bring your own MT/AI provider or use the built-in ones. Every translation permanently stores its origin (human, machine or AI), AI output is quality-scored automatically, and low-confidence translations can be routed through a hu... man review workflow before they are published. Nothing machine-made hides among human work. Instant Delivery Approved translations publish to a global CDN and reach your users immediately - no redeploy, no app-store release. Versioning, per-segment history and automatic backups (with self-serve restore) keep every change auditable and reversible. Enterprise-Ready User roles and granular permissions, SSO, audit log, multi-project setups for agencies (tenants), EU-based data storage and encryption in transit and at rest. Pricing Free plan, then fixed monthly plans from $7 to $199 per project, each including a monthly word volume and unlimited edits. Beyond the included volume pricing is stepped: extra capacity comes in packs, with optional auto-adapt so a release is never blocked. All projects of an organization share one invoice. Every account starts with a 14-day full-feature trial - no credit card required. Do you work for Locize ?

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 Crowdin seems to be way outdated, with a very weird workflow of having to upload all the content to Crowdin before you can start translating it.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 --- ### Good and reliable service for translation management - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Marius C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall well. Support is good, owners responsive to requests and feedback by email support. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. Replied April 2024 --- ### Rude support and complicated UI - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Krzysztof M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered A partner which use rude way of communicating? No thank you! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros You can do translations, multiple versions, API, didn't notice any bigger issues with the core features #### 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.

I really enjoy that easiness of access and possibility to work directly on site, not in separate file. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The easiness of access and possibility to search, replace and use translators implemented. #### Cons I don't like the thing that when there are similar words for translation, I cannot be sure which in the program I am Translating. It will be good to have some kind of visuality. #### Vendor response 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? Your insights will help us improve Locize further. Replied January 2025 --- ### All depend on your needs and money - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Oksana K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### 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. Replied October 2023 --- ### Simply awesome TMS - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Locize has the best experience especially when used in combination with i18next.And their customer support is the best I've experienced so far, fast, efficient and professional. #### Cons It would be even better if Locize would offer a way to manage bigger text documents or general assets to be managed in the sane way, API, versioning, etc. --- ### A great TMS and localization management tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sandro H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The user experience is excellent. Quick and efficient support. Pay-per-use. The integration to the next js web application was simple. #### Cons I initially thought this kind of service can be free, but after using it for a while, I realized how much time and resources it saves, both of which must be considered, and how much less expensive it is than alternatives. #### Reasons for choosing Locize Others didn't have enough features, and when I tested it, I thought it was slow. --- ### It's a good way to add i18n support for rapidly evolving software/services - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Sagar G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Utilities - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros User managementMachine translationSearch and edit #### Cons Very least amount of backend development support with languages like Python and frameworks like Django. We had to roll out our own custom CI job to play well with Locize. #### Vendor response 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. Here some information about server side i18n: https://locize.com/blog/how-does-server-side-internationalization-look-like/ CLI: https://github.com/locize/locize-cli API: https://docs.locize.com/integration/api Replied October 2023 --- ### Currently the best on the market - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Robin F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Best localization service out there! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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 --- ### Love Locize - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Aaron G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I used locize in conjunction with react-i18next to translate a healthcare application to spanish. The process was smooth and relatively painless. Locize provided excellent support every time I ran into a problem. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The ease of set up and all the choices of libraries to make it work with any stack. #### Cons It's pretty good but the documentation could use a little work. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 22 Reviews Load More Reviews ## Locize Popular Comparisons [Crowdin vs Locize](https://www.softwareadvice.com/translation-management/crowdin-profile/vs/locize/) ## See what companies are saying about Software Advice
