Localize Pros and Cons

Localize was easy to implement, is easy to train my staff on, and is easy to keep updated. They make translation easy; whether or not you have someone on staff who can do translations for you, you can cover a wide range of languages to reach customers around the world.

Their support team is also extremely kind and helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike about Localize is sometimes navigating their help center can feel daunting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Provides a lot of different options for how to make translations - order them, do them yourself, machine translate, etc.

Pretty easy set up

Nice APIs for developers to handle backend and frontend Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can get more expensive to add languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The translation platform is very easy to use. Approved translations appear on our webpage right away.

Customer support is proactive in educating us on how to best use the platform with tips and tricks for our specific needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We would like to be able to view and edit the machine-generated translation and simultaneously view where the line is located on our web page.

As a company with a very heavy and always changing webpage, seeing where the line is located is imperative for the correct translations of technological terminology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is straightforward to set up, and when I've ever had any doubts, support has been quick to answer my questions and help me move forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Something we struggled with was adding translations in English - it seems there are many variations (US, GB, AU, etc.), and we had to manually set all "en-" languages to "en" in localize so we only had to input the translations once. But otherwise, it works seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how quickly you can get Localize up and running. I was able to get it implemented on a client's site within minutes. Although I initially felt overwhelmed about this client request, Localize solved my problem with their amazing solution.

Good to be able to use machine translation with real people if I choose.

The interface was simple enough to use, was able to find things as needed.

localize is super easy to implement and with a little bit of javascript, it can even be attached to different domains so each domain serves its corresponding language. I use it for a number of websites and it has never failed me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing—Localize not only accomplished my goals but also made my clients extremely pleased with something that could potentially be a complicated task.

The only problem is that translations are connected to precise paragraphs of text, change one letter and you have to go into the system to reconnect the previous translation, even changing a letter in a capital letter will cause a translation to disappear online, without a warning.

Super easy for everyone to contribute. Even non-technical team members can help by adding screenshots, keys, translations, or placing orders. Localize was a recommendation by another mobile start-up. We tested along the process 6 different players on the market and localize was by far the best solution.

Thanks to localize we can move much faster to make our app available in several different languages around the globe.

Due to the localize api we were able to implement it into our backend - it's working seamless at the moment and even feels for a non-technical person like plug & play.

Other solutions very often don't have the perfect integration for your individual product or even work with text files. So whenever we want to release new content or a new localization to our app it just takes us at most 2 days. We always choose bilingual translators and created internal additional feedback loops with consultants, friends and families. It's just perfect for us! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes saved linked screenshots disappear or it takes some time to load, but I would say that's all Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is not exactly as dislike, but kind of improvement.

We have added 'notransalte' in N number of similar places in our web application.

If if can be given at css class level or at element level would really help and reduce effort of adding 'notranslate' at many places.

This also makes sure we have not missed adding 'notranslate' for any element Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is very easy to use and the translations can easily be updated at any time. When you implement changes, they take effect immediately which is awesome! There are tons of languages to choose from as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing is pretty high considering there are some free services out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Localize has an easy to use interface and has enabled our team to translate our platform with minimal development or administrative effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only feature that caused any (very minimal) trouble for our team is the default to enable automatic archiving. We have an introductory assessment that is only periodically revisited, so the phrases were quickly moved to the archive and therefore did not show as immediately translated upon the next identification. Disabling the automatic archiving resolved this for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
