Localizely · Belgrade, Serbia · founded 2018
What it is
Localizely is a translation management system for mobile apps, games, and websites. It brings translation work into a workflow with AI and machine translation, professional translation orders, translation memory, glossaries, quality checks, screenshots, tasks, reports, and branching. Its supported files include Flutter ARB, Android XML, Apple strings, JSON, YAML, PO, XLIFF, .NET RESX, CSV, Excel, and TMX. Integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Figma, AWS S3, an API, and a CLI. GitHub can pull localization files manually or by webhook, then return translations as a pull request. Its Flutter SDK supports over-the-air translation updates and in-context editing. Localizely is offered as software as a service, with no self-hosted option. The free plan includes one project and 250 hosted string keys, while paid plans start at $16/mo billed annually; a 15-day trial is listed. The CLI runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and is also available as a Docker image. The company is based in Belgrade, Serbia.
