About SimpleLocalize

SimpleLocalize is a translation management tool for developers and small product teams. You upload translation files or sync them with the open-source CLI, GitHub app or IDE plugins, translate in a spreadsheet-like editor with machine and AI translation, and then either download the files or serve translations from SimpleLocalize's CDN so apps can update text without a release. It also offers per-customer translation variants, automations, an MCP server and a Chrome extension. Plans are subscription-based, with a free trial and no credit card needed to start, and special pricing for open-source projects, education and indie developers. The appeal is a focused, uncluttered tool that does the common jobs well at a reasonable price. It does not try to compete with enterprise suites on vendor management, document translation or marketing content, and it is a small company, so integrations are fewer.

Best for: Developers who want a simple, tidy way to manage and host app translations.
