Localize

Website and web app localization via JS snippet, AI and human review

Localize is a translation & localization tool for Small businesses and Enterprise, offered as paid. Based in United States. Popular alternatives include Transifex, Localazy, Locize.

About Localize

Localize is a translation management platform from Localize Corporation, a San Francisco company backed by Techstars. Instead of exporting strings into files, you add its JavaScript library to a website or web app; Localize detects text automatically, including dynamic content rendered by React and other frameworks, routes it through translation and review, and publishes it back in real time.

Translations start with an AI first pass from large language models, and human reviewers then edit in context on the actual page. Teams get glossaries, translation memory, approval workflows, role-based permissions, audit logs and multilingual SEO settings. Integrations cover WordPress, Webflow, Drupal, Contentful, Zendesk help centers and ReadMe docs, plus libraries for React, Python and Django. Pricing is no longer published: plans are quoted on content volume, pageviews, languages and workflow needs, after a 14-day free trial without a card.

Localize fits SaaS companies localizing a marketing site, logged-in web app and help center together without asking engineers to maintain resource files. It is less suited to native mobile apps managed through string files. Weglot is simpler and publicly priced for marketing sites, Lokalise is stronger for developer file-based workflows, and Smartling targets large enterprises with managed translation services.

Buying tip: because prices are quoted, collect monthly pageviews, target languages and estimated word count before the sales call, and ask how AI translation volume and human review are billed.
