Lokalise is a continuous localization and translation management platform (TMS) aimed at teams that need to release products, marketing, and content across multiple markets. Its core positioning is to integrate localization into development and content workflows, so that localization no longer becomes a release blocker, and to use AI to maintain brand tone consistency at scale.
Purpose Lokalise is used to unify the management of localization processes for products, marketing, and content, connect the content ecosystem, and continuously translate and publish at scale across different markets, keeping brand messaging relevant and effective in each market. It mainly serves two types of teams: developers, product managers, and product designers, as well as marketing, content, and creative teams.
Main capabilities
- Continuous localization and integration: provides 60+ integrations to connect with existing tech stacks and automate manual steps; supports 30+ file formats, 33 webhooks, 10 pre-built SDKs, 95 API endpoints/CLI, and can sync content instantly; supports OTA (over-the-air) updates for mobile apps to enable real-time updates.
- AI translation and brand consistency: AI applies approved terminology, tone, and vocabulary so that translations in each language remain consistent with the brand; preserves meaning through Custom AI Profiles, context, and metadata; improves quality through AI Scoring.
- Automated quality control: AI automatically evaluates translation quality, and only low-confidence results require human review, saving time and cost while maintaining accuracy; teams can view translation quality and performance in real time, and role-based approvals ensure human control over automated processes.
- AI orchestration: dynamically selects and routes to the most appropriate LLM based on language, content, and context, with no repeated configuration.
- Automated workflows: automates translation, TM application, QA checks, approvals, and publishing through MCP connections, reducing manual work.
How to use Lokalise is provided as a platform and can be integrated into development workflows and content stacks, enabling automatic content synchronization and publishing through APIs, CLI, SDKs, webhooks, and integrations; it also supports viewing and operation in the GUI. The Enterprise edition supports capabilities such as SAML single sign-on, role-based access control, and detailed audit logs. Specific onboarding, versions, and usage steps are not provided at this time.
