## Verdict

The natural choice for engineering-led localisation. Marketing teams localising long-form content may prefer a document-oriented platform.

## What it is

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.

**What makes it different:** Developer-first workflow with AI translation in the loop, designed for shipping localised software continuously.

**Best for:** product and engineering teams localising apps and websites continuously with AI translation and review

**Not ideal for:** individuals or teams that mainly translate documents rather than software strings

## Key features

- **AI translation** — Translate keys with glossaries and context awareness.
- **Developer integrations** — CLI, API, GitHub, and CI pipelines.
- **In-context review** — Screenshots and previews for translators.
- **Quality checks** — Catch placeholder, length, and consistency issues.

## Use cases

- **Mobile app localisation** — Keep iOS and Android strings in sync across languages.
- **Web app releases** — Translate new keys automatically before each release.
- **Design handoff** — Localise Figma designs before development.
