In their own words
Lokalize
Lokalize is a free desktop localization tool for KDE and other free and open-source software, and a computer-aided translation system for OpenDocument files. For OpenDocument work, Translate-Toolkit extracts text from.odt files into.xliff files and merges translated text back into the document. Lokalize provides translation memory, terminology management, and quality assurance checks. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Linux installation is available through Discover, other AppStream application stores, or a distribution package manager. KDE links to Windows and macOS installers, including Intel and ARM builds, and lists nightly installers intended for testing. The listed release is version 26.08.2, dated 2026-10-08. Lokalize is licensed under GPL-2.0+ and listed at free. KDE provides a handbook and forum, plus links for bug reports, source code, and localization-project participation. KDE describes itself as a voluntary, international community rather than a for-profit company, legally represented by KDE e.V.
