Localize

Vorteile

User friendly and very intuitive interface which allows you to go smoothly with the application.

Nachteile

Customization and fast implementation of the translations.

Vorteile

Localize is so easy to use, and it has GREAT documentation.

Nachteile

Really there's not much to not like, I can't think of anything!

Vorteile

Localize has made managing multiple languages on my site incredibly easy and efficient. The platform seamlessly integrates with my existing setup, allowing for real-time translations without requiring constant developer involvement.

Nachteile

The only downside is that we have to manage multiple environments and adjust language on each one. I wish if you set it on one environment it applied to all of mine.

Vorteile

Good for static website translation, allows us to work in 3 languages.

Nachteile

Not great for changing platforms or non-static sites. Best for static marketing sites.

Vorteile

it's a very easy setup and you are very fast to get translation live

Nachteile

it's different than my previous experience with other translation tools so you have to adjust a little bit

Vorteile

I like how easy it is to use and implement new translations

Nachteile

I think how they inject the translations onto the site could be better for SEO down the line.

Vorteile

Localize is very easy to implement. It delivers fast, accurate translations. It's also easy to go in and modify a translation if necessary.

Nachteile

It seems to let a lot of spam phrases though (though these are easy to catch during the manual review process).

Vorteile

Localize makes it easy to translate large batches of content all at once. Super helpful that I can order live translations right from the dashboard as well and it's all taken care of with a click of a button. Also appreciate being able to translate images with copy in them = SO USEFUL!

Nachteile

The Localize dashboard can be a bit laggy sometimes and slow in updating approved phrases and translations, esp. when using the In-Context editor. Often have to save the updated translation twice before the new translation catches.

Vorteile

The user friendly content management system where you can modify in many different level of editing towards a URL or webpage. Plus with the feature that allows you to have more than 1 user, this enables us to have multiple proof reader (respective languages) to review before having the web pages published.
Also last but not least, our Localize counter part, [sensitive content hidden], was nothing but super helpful in our journey from the start of using the tool until today. Thanks to him, my product managers are able to deliver the translation on the webpages on time for the country trainings.

Nachteile

There were non so far. All of our experience with Localize was great.

Vorteile

The support from the assigned Success Manager who is always accessible and willing to help via Slack, email or during a scheduled call.
The interface is intuitive.
The feature set is growing.
The company seeks feedback from their active customers. A few of the suggestions I have proposed were implemented.

Nachteile

The team is small which naturally affects the delivery timelines for SDK changes or new feature development.

Vorteile

Localize provided great support during onboarding

Nachteile

a minor problem with auto approval of translations during implementation - but that was resolved quickly

Vorteile

Localize offers an easy interface to use.

Nachteile

Possibly, sometimes some words or phrases are correctly translated.

Vorteile

Localize makes it easy for tech teams to implement and localize any site quickly. There is still work to be done for the actual translations but Localize makes this easy as well - you can order translation or use machine translation and have your team check/revise it.

Nachteile

I haven't run into any cons yet. So far it's been great!

Vorteile

la traduction automatique avec validation des phrases traduites

Nachteile

Pas toujours simple et tarif par defaut pas de traduction via deepl

Vorteile

Localize has an easy to use interface and has enabled our team to translate our platform with minimal development or administrative effort.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

LocalizeJs (LJS) was very easy and fast to set-up and start showing results in target language. All the phrases/strings from your apps go to the same tool and are easy to see and manage. The tech support/help is very responsive and helpful to deal with all kinds of problems you might have.

Nachteile

Since LJS pushes all the strings from your Webapps to their tool, it is little bit tedious to find all the data that must not be send to the tool, e.g. confidential user information etc. You still have to find a way to localize possible 3rd party components on your Webapp, because at least we were not able to translate them properly with LJS. The tool is not geared towards deployment flow, where you have DEV, QA, Staging and Production environments and you have to move phrases/strings between different environments.

Vorteile

Ease of integration, functional interface

Nachteile

Speed to gather content changes not fast enough

Vorteile

We needed to professionally translate our microsite into multiple languages to suit our global audience. Localise ticked all the boxes, especially with the human translation offering and the WP integration.

Nachteile

he lingo used. As a new user and someone who uses SaaS apps all the time, the word 'Phrases' didn't resonate with me and felt like it over complicated a very straight forward process: I want to translate my whole website into x language. There is also the added complication of having to buy credits too, but thats no biggy. I logged a couple tickets in the 'translate my website via a human' process in the end. It shouldn't be this jagged.

Vorteile

I really like the easy of use to translate and the admin platform. They've made tremendous updates during the years I've used the program and appreciate how on top of things their customer service team is

Nachteile

Honestly, not too many cons. Sometimes the translations aren't quite right and I'd love to have more languages added without additional costs, but that'd be going above and beyond.

Vorteile

It's very easy to keep translations up-to-date on our website and we don't need to have multiple copies of each page to store translated content.

Nachteile

The service isn't fully automated, so we still have to manually approve phrases for translation every few days.

Vorteile

The API and documentation is very easy to use. We were able to get it set up quickly. Translations are pretty accurate and we are able to have people go in and update strings with no problems.

Nachteile

When you need to expand to offer more languages the pricing can get pretty expensive.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

Nothing—wish we had found the service sooner.

Vorteile

Translations are implemented right away on our webpage after they have been proofread from our end.
For a translator, proofreading is very easy and you can approve a machine-generated translation or improve it with a simple click.
Customer support is doing a great job in educating us on how to best use the platform and navigate through it to have the best experience for our specific needs.

Nachteile

I would like to be able to simultaneously see where the line I am translating is located on our webpage.
The context is important for the correct translation, so seeing where the word is located on our webpage will be very useful.

Vorteile

Easy and intuitive to use. Good customer support.

Nachteile

No significant complaints. The software works well for me.

Vorteile

- Smooth processes with translators, enabling fast localization also when performing product updates
- Easy to use interface which helped us to get up to speed quickly
- Little to no tech requirements, very flexible for different platforms

Nachteile

- While translation quality was good, one other solution we trialed took the context of our software more into consideration and hence offered a slighly better quality of translations.

Vorteile

The ability to automatically translate text instantly, refine it or override it yourself, or upgrade the machine translating to business quality language in such a simple interface is invaluable to us as we try to grow internationally.

We've found Localize to be really flexible in terms of how we integrate with our website and how we use it amongst our staff.

Nachteile

We haven't hit any issues so far and implementation was well documented.

Vorteile

very easy and practical to use, smart and elegant interface, good choice of working languages.
Quick tool to find apps on the web.

Nachteile

it loses integration speed on non-static platforms or sites and has no integration flow when I need to move phrases and strings between different environments like DEV and QA.

Vorteile

We've been using Localize since 2015. Localize has provided us with easy to manage website translations. We're able to provide access to our internal translators who log in and see the wording required for translation. It's very simple and runs in the background. New words are automatically uploaded into Localize

Nachteile

Initially it took a while to translate due to the amount of words but this was as expected and over time this has become easier. It requires a developer to integrate but this was expected. Tagging phrases that didn't need translating took a while.

Vorteile

Easy to navigate interface. You just start using it and you get it, no classes needed. Every translator I used never had a problem.

Nachteile

Price can get steep as your needs increase.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Localize

Vorteile

The software is easy to deploy, and language switching is speedy and effortless. The support team are also incredible - talented, fast, and know what they're doing! I was really surprised at how much customisability there was, so that we can stop phrases being digested at any time, as well as selecting what we would like translated (and into what language) and what we would prefer to leave as-is. The language editing interfaces are fast and functional, whether you want to edit translations in-situ or in a list. It's also really handy that automatic translation is an option, to get things rolled out fast!

Nachteile

I didn't like that I kept mistyping the web address. I.e. I don't have much to complain about!

Vorteile

Translation of phrases
Easy implementation
Easy to user user interface
Many languages to choose from

Nachteile

Reactive translations, requires a user to navigate the pages and request a language with the tool before translation will be requested

Vorteile

Easy to use, good features, fast service, great experience.

Nachteile

Some search functions, some sorting functions, some import functions

Vorteile

Localize is super easy to set up. And highly customizable.

Nachteile

One problem is that when you change a single letter in your text the translation disappears from the online website without any warning. So be aware to reconnect the old translation to the changed original text.

Vorteile

The best thing about Localize is that there's little to no tech required to get a site translated into another language whereas other solutions in this space require deeper integration and custom code to translate text strings on a webpage.

Nachteile

While there's little technical implementation, it means there's some sacrifices you have to make from a consumer experience standpoint. More specifically, because this is a java script solution, the page does render as it would normally for a quick moment and then the translations start appearing. Depending on how quickly the JS loads, it might be noticeable to the user that we're swapping around content.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Localize

Vorteile

As a developer, you just write everything in English and the rest is handled by the marketing guys, which is pretty cool.

Nachteile

There are some smaller bugs now and then, but nothing too bad

Vorteile

Downright easiest and most efficient way to translate a website into multiple languages.

Nachteile

The several layers of limits within the pricing structure is unfortunate, from limits on page views to machine translations to collaborators.

Vorteile

It provides multiple languages to choose from.

Nachteile

The price is high. The code snippet decrease speed and load time on the website especially that there are many code snippets to be added from other service providers.

Vorteile

Easy SDK to integrate into your frontend App or backend server. The API itself is pretty easy to use and the documentation has plenty of examples to integrate into your product.

Nachteile

The starter plans are reasonable if you want to translate into a few languages. That works if you're only focused on launching in a few markets. It gets a little pricey if you want to translate into all major languages. But if your product has reached that scale you should be able to afford this service which will save you the overhead of hiring translators and administrators to keep track of updating new messages.

Vorteile

The Editor is nicely and to translate pages is simple and fast.

Nachteile

The export option by page should be possible. Right now all the sentences are just mixed.

Vorteile

Localize is a great and easy way to add localization to your website without needing the help of an engineer.

Nachteile

Nothing comes to mind? i generally loved the tool.

Vorteile

It is very user-friendly and easy to learn how to use.

Nachteile

Sometimes when competing a step in the translation process you have to go back a few steps; it isn't always 100% intuitive.

Vorteile

1. Quick and easy access
2. User friendly UI
3. hassle free way to translate in new languages

Nachteile

bit expensive as compared to the translations

Vorteile

The software platform is very easy to use and the dashboard is excellent.

Nachteile

The software is a bit pricey especially for us who needs more functionality than just the basic version.

Vorteile

Very easy-to-use interface. Perfect software to deploy software solutions across different countries

Nachteile

Sometimes the interface is a little bit "too minimal" (never too bad, by the way)

Vorteile

We can easily manage the translation of our pages, super simple! Really pleased we found a tool that works so well. Users browsing in another country will automatically see the correct translation for them which is great. The support team is great too!

Nachteile

Haven't quite figures out the how to manage staging sites. e.g. adding the translations to a page before it gets released. There's probably a way to do this! Also haven't managed to translate pop-ups on pages.
