Lokalise

AI-powered localization platform for software

Overview

Lokalise provides an AI-powered localization platform for software teams. It helps businesses translate and localize software UI, content, and customer support materials, with real-time chat translations and localized knowledge base articles. The product works as a cloud-based collaboration space where teams add and assign localization tasks, track progress, and streamline workflows, using features like translation memory, machine translation, quality assurance checks, and a wide range of integrations (GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, Azure Repos, Jira, and more) to fit into developers’ workflows. Unlike some competitors, Lokalise emphasizes team collaboration, workflow management, and seamless integration across platforms to embed localization directly into the development process. Its goal is to help brands enter new markets faster and at lower cost by delivering accurate translations in native languages through an end-to-end localization solution.
