Localize
Localize is a web and API service for automating translation workflows across websites and web apps. It detects new or changed content, translates it, and publishes updates without requiring a new release. Setup can begin by adding one JavaScript tag. Translation options include machine-translation engines and integrated large language models, with AI insights and manual review available. Translation memory and glossary tools support reuse and terminology control. On the live page, users can preview, visualize, and edit translations in real time. Task management, detailed permissions, activity logs, and built-in quality checks support team workflows. Integrations listed include WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Salesforce, GitHub, Google Drive, React, Zendesk, and ReadMe. Localize provides API access and says it protects data through encryption, audits, and compliance protocols. Tailored pricing is quoted according to content volume, pageviews, languages, workflows, implementation, and support needs. A free trial is available, described as 15 days.
