What do you like best about Gridly?

Gridly is a powerful localisation CMS tool that offers you the ability to centralise and design your entire localisation workflow to fit your project's needs.

The spreadsheet-like design, powered by formulas, automations and off-the-shelf (or custom) integrations with popular tools, allied to granular access/permission controls, collaboration features and content versioning capabilities make it a great choice for organisations that want to take control and fully integrate localisation in their development lifecycles, rather than leaving it as an afterthought.

Plus, it is very easy to use and comes with stellar and lightning fast customer support! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gridly?

The file formats natively supported are quite limited, favouring structured data formats like CSV, JSON or XLSX, although this is being improved with the recent introduction of the TMS module, which also seems like it could bring interesting features for data tracking and reporting that the tool is currently lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gridly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gridly helps us manage the localisation of in-game content and share localised strings with developers effortlessly.

It also helps us facilitate Localisation Quality Assessment by serving as a single source of truth for our data, allowing any issues to be reported directly in context. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gridly?

I've used plenty of localization platforms for translation edits but nothing compares to Gridly. I like the personal grids that it provides, the personalization of each view and how easily it can be eddited and saved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gridly?

I don't dislike a lot from Gridly, mainly just sometimes one can easily delete content unwillingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gridly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gridly gives my team a chance to see translations clearly from the source text to the different languages available. We also appreciate the other aspects of the grids such as the last updated time of a certain text, who updated it, and translation document details (name of request, ID, etc).

What do you like best about Gridly?

Gridly is a must have for anyone working with content especially in gaming with titles operated as live services. We implemented it in 15 studios across the world and it was easy as ABC. We have done a lot of research with various tools and nothing came close to Gridly. It's so very userfriendly, secure with new features are constantly being developed. The best of all, an all star team behind the product that is always ready to assist with any requests. The product takes user feedback seriously and is developed at a fast pace. Gridly is here to stay and all our users are very satisfied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gridly?

At times it was challenging that the product was still in development and not all features were ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gridly solving and how is that benefiting you?

All users across 15 studios can access Gridly seemlessy and have a smooth Localization process without sharing files or keeping up with version control. The granular user control is great for security reasons within the various groups. Gridly is very flexible and expandable through triggers and lambda functions and we managed to set up proprietary processes with Art Localization for example.

What do you like best about Gridly?

We have been using Gridly for an year and a half at the company, and it has improved all our processes!

Now we can easily visualize all changes in source with Gridly.

Another thing we liked about it is that we could quickly integrate this with our CAT tool.

And I think it is also important to mention that when we had doubts, the support team from Gridly get back to us immediately with an answer or a workaround. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gridly?

We don't have any complains but we have send a couple of suggestions/ideas to the team a couple months ago, with a few items we would like to see in the tool in future updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gridly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before using Gridly, we had several issues trying to identify the changes made in the source text in our translation files. Gridly has solved that quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gridly?

Gridly is very easy to implement and integrate, and we now use it on a daily basis.

New features are added regularly, and it makes the tool very flexible. The interface is also quite intuitive.

The support team is also excellent, always ready to help with any queries or issues. I highly recommend Gridly to any team looking for an effective localization management solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gridly?

There is no 100% integrated CAT tool... yet, but hopefully they can implement that soon: a CAT tool as powerful as MemoQ or XTM would be a very nice addition to Gridly!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gridly solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us localize a game that is developped with Unreal Engine 5 as there is no proper database in UE5. So Gridly serves as a powerful DB for us, with plenty of filters, views, and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gridly?

Gridly consolidates everything in one place—automation tools, a collaborative environment, progress tracking, translation memory, and customizable language settings—all while maintaining the flexibility of spreadsheets. It also helps save time: for instance, with a special plugin, importing localization from Gridly to Unity takes just one click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gridly?

I enjoy all aspects of using this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gridly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gridly:

1) Saves time: With its numerous automation options, there's no need to manually transfer data or explain contextual nuances to the translator.

2) Simplifies text management: Translation memory and glossaries eliminate the need to reorder translations of the same words or sentences.

3) Constantly improves: The platform regularly introduces new features and plugins, making the localization process even easier and more convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gridly?

We've used Gridly now for multiple years and haven't looked back!

Gridly is a very accessible tool that basically anyone can hop into and get their way around. If anything has not functioned properly or we have suggestions, their team is always there to receive it.

The addition of their automation tool in your grids has helped a lot with our pipeline and sped our work up, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gridly?

The loading of data when using the grids has definitely improved since we came on but can still be slow from time to time.

The user groups and permissions side in the backend can be very confusing and I'd love if you could get a "view as" function to help see what they would see before inviting people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gridly solving and how is that benefiting you?

We previously never had a good way of managing translations and a good way of getting them into Unreal Engine. Gridly has helped solve those two issues for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gridly?

Gridly allows for all the possible meaningful customizations you could dream of. This is the exact opposite of a Blizzard game and of many Android apps, for instance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gridly?

At first it may be hard to get your head around a few terms and types of items. But you get used to it quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gridly solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's my primary way to interact with UE5 text to translate. UE5 interface is not user-friendly on that front. But Gridly is, so it's where I can see, sort, filter, order, search text in any language, including English. It's also the bridge between UE5 and my CAT tool.

Ease of usage, new features constantly been added to the large set of core ones, newly found issues quickly tackled and ironed out by the engineers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gridly solving and how is that benefiting you?

We didnt have a CMS tool for our games' localization files, and Gridly has become the de-facto tool from day 1 for any internal project doing localization, or even working with any kind of textual string. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gridly?

as a localization manager of a huge game project with over a million words to be translated into over 13 languages, gridly was a true savior.

the two most beautiful things of gridly are its language dependency management feature and version/branch control feature.

the former allows the most streamlined localization pipeline; the latter is what makes gridly ahead of other competitors when we are developping on multiple branches at the same time.

the addons are cherry on cake and more often than not they contributes more than i expected after we built more sophisticated understandings yo gridly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gridly?

it is only a localization management app, not a CAT. it has something indeed, but using it as a CAT is like eating spaghetti with a spoon; it is better than having nothing but why not get yourself a folk? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gridly solving and how is that benefiting you?

i have a project with over a million words to be translated and it was constantly itertating. we need a software to givr me clear clue of my to-be-translated scope at any time and help me track my progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
