Localizely is a translation management system for mobile app, game, and website content. Its workflow includes AI and machine translation, professional translation orders, translation memory, glossaries, quality checks, screenshots, tasks, reports, and branching. It handles formats such as 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 sync can pull localization files manually or by webhook and return translations as a pull request. Its Flutter SDK can deliver translation updates over the air and supports in-context editing. Localizely is offered as software as a service only, with no self-hosted option. The free plan includes 250 hosted string keys, one project, unlimited users and languages, machine and AI translation, and translation orders. Paid plans start at $16.00 USD per month when billed annually; the Starter plan is $19/mo when billed monthly. A 15-day trial is available. The CLI runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows and is also available as a Docker image.
