About Lokalise

Lokalise lets you manage translations of your app, game or website – either on your own or with a team of collaborators.

Upload your language files, invite team members and integrate with the project workflow. Built for developers, Lokalise offers neat features including inline translation suggestions, project chat, export webhooks and an API.

Lokalise started as an internal translation management tool. We wanted to stop the email threads, multiple spreadsheets, unanswered questions, lack of context associated with the translation and localization.

Lokalise was designed as an alternative to outdated and expensive tools, with a clear focus on automation and integrations to accelerate product time-to-market. Today, Lokalise serves thousands of customers worldwide from our offices in Riga, Latvia.

Our goal is to eliminate the hassle of localization by providing tools to automate, integrate and better manage your translations.
