In a world of quick changes and updates, the standard waterfall approach to localization is no longer efficient. To be successful, agile teams should be agile in all their processes, including localization. While the importance of reaching an international audience is widely recognized, the localization process itself often remains highly manual and cumbersome.
Texts to be localized are usually distributed between multiple files. These files are in different formats and are constantly being updated. Translated files should be checked both from the linguistic and technical points of view. All this is made even more complex when you need to enter several markets with different languages.
What is Lokalise?
Lokalise is a localization and translation management platform that is focused on automation, workflow transparency, and fast project delivery. Lokalise is used for:
- Localizing software including mobile apps, websites, and games
- Translating software manuals and other documentation
Main benefits of Lokalise:
- Automates the sending and receiving of multiple files
- Speeds up the entire localization process and frees developers’ time, which is always in short supply
- Assists linguists by providing them with screenshots and other reference materials that are necessary for quality translations
- Automatically checks translated files to avoid technical issues during publishing
At the end of the day, Lokalise makes the localization process easier, faster, and less expensive.
Finding the right language professionals
While the Lokalise platform automates the transfer of content, the final quality of your localized content depends on your linguists. Translators should match your developers in their qualifications and attitude to work.
