Lokalise Arvostelua 

We've been a client for years, and during contracting had always added a "no auto-renewal" clause as is our standard practice. Then last year during re-contracting Lokalise silently removed this term, and then when we went to cancel (80 days is advance of renewal) they are telling us that actually we have no auto-renewal clause and oh it's a 90-day notice period to cancel (which is manifestly excessive). They also did not reach out ahead of time to discuss the contract, clearly hoping in bad faith that we (and other clients) miss the notice period window and get locked in against our will. Given our prior working relationship we hoped accomodations could be made, however they basically said F-you it's your problem not ours, too bad. As a result, I'm writing this review and highly advise avoiding ever working with them.

We'd been using this service for a number of years without issue, but our renewal price more than doubled so we decided to move elsewhere. We were then unable to cancel within 90 days of the end of our yearly subscription, forcing us to stay on a hugely inflated price. At no point during our earlier conversations about price increases with multiple representatives, where we clearly said we will leave, did they inform us of this clause. Yet, we have yet to be shown a copy of the agreement that we agreed to containing this clause.

Shady business practises. Find one of the many far cheaper alternatives. Avoid.

Terrible business practices with forced price increase, 90-day termination notice, pricing extremely and intransparent (unlimited keys but they bill you for every word edited, even manual ones).
Don't get tempted by AI features, they are both subpar and overpriced.

Really awful experience, won't recommend at all. They renew your plan even if you canceled it.

We've been their paying customers for more than five years, canceled the plan last year, and they billed us again.
When we asked for a refund or a change of plan on the same day of the renewal, they said it wasn't possible.
The 'cancel subscription' option is still broken on their platform.

We evaluated Lokalise for a large-scale translation project, and although we ultimately went in a different direction for this project, I have to commend their team on the experience. The support was fast, flexible, and genuinely hands-on. Our account manager took the time to understand our specific use case and went above and beyond to provide tailored resources and connect us with the right people. Communication was impeccable throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a translation management platform backed by a team that truly cares about finding the right fit for your needs, Lokalise is well worth considering.

They sent me an email saying that I was being lazy and relaxing on the beach. I though it was one of my freelancing jobs but when I opened the email, i saw that it was one of these disrespectful sites I came here for a review. If you cant respect your early customers you wont ro your own. They see you like money, they dont even care about making an API that is understandable. You cant just delete your account too.

Fell for the old/new pricing bait and switch.

We signed with them 3 months ago, to then be told that unfortunately we are suddenly on a "old" pricing plan which unsuprisingly doesnt have the features/functionality that we need, and this would be another $8K annually

The best aspect of Lokalise is its ability to add screenshots and integrate third-party extensions. It is user-friendly and intuitive, eliminating the need for lengthy training sessions.

Lokalise addresses the challenge of content localization for various teams and markets, providing contextual support. + The inclusion of a Google Translate feature facilitates an initial round of translation.

We have a small start-up, and Lokalise has been great help for us. It doesn't take a big team to lokalize and control your contents, we've actually made it with two persons. The support has been really helpful.

Great technology that enables us to provide our platform in multiple languages with minimal effort. As our platform is homegrown, we often introduce new interface elements to enhance functionality and user experience. Lokalise has been invaluable in this regard, giving us the ability to quickly update content in various languages without disruption.

The process is seamless, and their user-friendly interface makes managing translations remarkably straightforward, even for teams with limited technical expertise. One standout feature is their AI-powered tools, which help streamline the translation process, saving us time while maintaining quality. This ensures that our platform remains accessible and relevant to a diverse, global audience.

Additionally, Lokalise's collaborative features allow our team to work efficiently together, tracking changes and ensuring consistency across all languages. The platform demonstrates a deep understanding of the needs of modern software teams, and it’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into creating an intuitive, reliable, and scalable solution. Highly recommended for anyone managing multilingual content in a dynamic environment!

Intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface.
Excellent collaboration and project management features
Multi-format support for developers
Automation and API capabilities for advanced workflows
Every so often it requires manual review.
Helps us to manage translations effectively

Before using Lokalise we had difficulty creating projects quickly and integrating them into our stack without the help of a development team, now we can handle these initial steps much more easily.

Single source of truth as far as the copy is concerned, single point of access for all people dealing with the text (designers, translators, developers).

I've been using Lokalise for about 5 years as a localization manager, and everything seems good to me. I might not use all of its features in my work, but here are the key upsides I'd like to share:

The interface is user-friendly. It's quite easy to find anything I need, as well as to handle all 40 languages on the platform, they are well shown on a single page.

The support team is great. They are always ready to help, respond quickly. I've never had any issues when interacting with the support team of lokalise.

It's very convenient to use the lokalise grammar checker which really helps not to miss mistakes or any other moments. As well as the issue notifier in general.

It's intuitive and easy to use which makes onboarding our external translators and internal team members super efficient. Several integrations and automations are available. LokaliseAI is easy to implement and integrate into our workflows. Customer Support is fast, reliable and knowledgeable.

What makes Lokalise stand out is their commitment to continuous improvement and user success. Their customer support team consistently goes above and beyond, responding quickly and thoroughly to any questions or concerns. The platform excels in providing powerful automation tools that have transformed our localization workflow. Particularly impressive is their API integration capability and the collaborative features that enable seamless communication between developers, translators, and project managers. The translation memory system has notably improved our consistency across projects, while the QA checks help maintain high quality standards. While their recent UI update for untranslated strings could use improvement, the company actively listens to user feedback and regularly implements user-suggested features.

I like the simplicity of use and the different CLI/integrations that make the tool usable not only in the web app but also in CI/CD environments

As a developer, working with internationalization can often be a tedious task, but Lokalise transforms it into an enjoyable experience. It not only simplifies the process but also ensures that end-users find the UI intuitive and straightforward when managing their translations.

I interact with Lokalise daily, serving both as a developer and as support for our Marketing department. We leverage Lokalise for internationalization across all our frontend solutions, including Next.js, React.js, and React Native, utilizing it in three distinct ways:

Next.js Integration:
Our Next.js website seamlessly integrates with Lokalise through a webhook I established for each domain. This setup ensures that any changes made by our franchise users are reflected on the website within approximately 10 seconds. The webhook integration with the Next.js API was flawless and remarkably straightforward. Additionally, the use of the useTranslation() hook allows effortless implementation of translations in code on a daily basis.

React.js Setup:
In our React.js applications, we primarily use Lokalise for storing all text content, currently in English. We anticipate undertaking a comprehensive localization of this application in the future, and I am confident Lokalise will facilitate this process smoothly. Currently, we lack server-side API routes to trigger webhooks and update stored translations on the client side. I am eager to explore solutions to this challenge beyond simply rebuilding and redeploying the project.

React Native Usage:
For our React Native application, we employ App Center to deliver small in-app updates to users whenever a translation changes. This approach ensures that the latest translations are promptly available to our users.

Overall, Lokalise significantly enhances our workflow, making internationalization not only manageable but also efficient and precise. I highly recommend it for any team seeking to streamline their translation processes.

For our franchise solution, we require different variants for texts, such as English, to cater to various needs. While we leverage our headless CMS solution for this effectively on the web, it is less intuitive within our app. In the app, we are compelled to create multiple sub-versions of each locale in Lokalise, leading to a potentially cluttered multilingual view.

Additionally, some franchise users experience difficulty in understanding the use of {{brackets}} for dynamic variables within the text. This misunderstanding occasionally results in UI bugs that go unnoticed for a time. It might be beneficial to explore more user-friendly methods for handling dynamic variables to enhance usability and prevent errors.

We're a long-time Localise users and we love it!
It's a great software to make your website/app multilanguage.
It's easy to use, and their support team is very helpful!
