What is Lokalise?
Lokalise manages app and web strings with AI translation, context screenshots, review workflows, and integrations that sync with code repositories and design tools.
Lokalise is built for continuous localisation: import keys from repositories, translate with AI that respects glossaries and context, review with in-context screenshots, and push back via CLI or CI. It supports many file formats and integrates with Figma, GitHub, and project tools, with quality checks for placeholders and length.
Developer-first workflow with AI translation in the loop, designed for shipping localised software continuously.
