About Lokalise

Lokalise is a translation management system built for product teams shipping apps and websites in several languages. Developers push and pull translation keys through the CLI, API, GitHub or GitLab, and mobile SDKs can deliver new strings over the air without an app release. Designers can sync text from Figma so translators see screens before code is written, and marketers can connect content tools such as Contentful, WordPress and Webflow. Translators work in an editor with translation memory, glossaries, screenshots, QA checks and AI translation, and teams can order professional translation inside the platform. It is priced as monthly subscriptions that start in the low hundreds of dollars and rise with seats, keys and features, with a free trial on every plan but no permanent free tier. It is pleasant to use and well integrated, but expensive for small teams and side projects.

Best for: Product teams localizing apps who want tight Figma, Git and mobile SDK workflows.
