How Lokalise integrates with your enterprise tech stack: Salesforce, CMS, DAM, and API
Enterprise localization doesn't fail because of bad translations. It fails because tools don't talk to each other. Content sits in a CMS. Code lives in GitHub. Sales teams work in Salesforce. Support runs on Zendesk. Designers are in Figma. When the localization platform can't connect to all of them, someone ends up exporting files, emailing them around, and importing them back. That's where errors, delays, and missed launches come from. Lokalise
Updated on July 22, 2026·Ilya Krukowski Best TMS platforms for developers: API, CLI, and SDK support compared
Developer-focused translation management systems (TMS) are designed to fit into existing engineering workflows. Instead of relying on manual exports, imports, and handoffs, they help teams automate localization through APIs, version control, CI/CD pipelines, and SDKs. This guide compares the best TMS platforms for developers, based on what actually matters in practice:
Updated on July 23, 2026·Mia Comic MCP for localization: How to connect AI agents to your translation workflow
You're in Cursor, working on a new feature, and you need to add a localization key. That means leaving your IDE, opening your TMS, navigating to the right project, making the change, and coming back. Then, doing this all over again the next time you need to check untranslated strings, create a task, or touch anything localization-related. Model Context Protocol (MCP) removes this context-switching loop entirely. Instead of bouncing between tools, your AI coding assistant can inter

Lokalise gives developers two programmatic ways to manage localization workflows: the REST API and the MCP Server. In any MCP vs API localization decision, the key point is that one does not replace the other. The REST API is built for scripted, repeatable, deterministic automation, such as CI/CD pipelines, batch imports, and webhook-driven deployments.

How to build the business case that turns localization from a line item into your highest-return growth lever. Your board wants growth from global markets. Your competitors are already there. And your localization team has the tools to deliver. So why is localization still stuck in the "cost center" conversation? It's a familiar tension. The data overwhelmingly shows that localization drives revenue — through discoverability, conversion, and loyalty. Yet in too many organization
May 22, 2026·Marta Puerto Which brands are localizing best?
You'd think speaking the same language would be enough. But when Apple—one of the most recognized brands on the planet—ranks dead last for localization in the UK, a native English-speaking market, it's clear that "going global" takes a lot more than translation. Lokalise surveyed 1,000 consumers across eight countries to find out which brands actually feel local, and here's what we found. Key takeaways McDonald's ran

GenAI isn’t just changing how translations are produced. It’s reshaping the entire localization workflow. Most teams didn’t build their workflows for this shift. They’re still relying on a mix of spreadsheets, standalone MT engines, and manual file handoffs. It’s familiar, and for a while, it worked. But it was never designed for the scale teams are dealing with now.
Updated on May 5, 2026·Mia Comic Localization audit trail: how to track, monitor, and govern translation changes
A translation changed, but no one knows who did it or when. The release is already live. What do you do? When multiple contributors work on the same project, there’s a good chance that strings get edited, approved, overwritten, or renamed. Without a clear localization audit trail, small changes turn into production issues, and tracking them down takes time you don’t have. This lack of visibility slows you down significantly. It makes troubleshooting harder, weakens accountability,
