What is Lokalise?

Lokalise is a translation management system (TMS) designed to help teams to automate, manage and translate content in a more efficient way.
It was designed as an alternative to outdated and expensive tools with a clear focus on eliminating the hassle of localization for developers.
Lokalise is a platform for software translation management for any kind of software like mobile apps (iOS, Android), games, websites or digital content.

With Lokalise users can:

Translate localization files (.xml, .strings, .json, .xliff, etc).
Collaborate and manage all software localization projects in one platform.
Integrate translation into the development and deployment process.
Set up automated workflows via API, use webhooks or integrate with other services (GitHub, Slack, JIRA, Sketch, etc).
Add screenshots for automatic recognition and matching with the text strings in your projects.
Upload Sketch artboards to Lokalise and allow translators to work before development starts.
Preview in real-time how the translations will look like in your web or mobile app (iOS and Android SDK).
Order professional translations from Lokalise translators or use machine translation.
