In this guide, we’ll walk through building a fully automated translation pipeline using GitLab CI/CD and Lokalise. From upload to download, with tagging, version control, and merge requests. Here’s the high-level flow: Upload your source language files (e.g. English JSON files) to Lokalise from GitLab using a CI pipeline.Tag each uploaded key with your Git branch name. This helps keep translations isolated per feature or pull request
Internationalization can sometimes feel like a massive headache. Juggling multiple JSON files, keeping translations in sync, and redeploying every time you tweak a string… What if you could offload most of that grunt work to a modern toolchain and let your CI/CD do the heavy lifting? In this guide, we’ll wire up a Next.js 15 project hosted on Vercel. It will load translation files on demand f
To paraphrase Captain Kirk, AI has boldly gone where no machine has gone before: it has finally reached human-level translation quality. But this doesn’t mean we’re done with AI translation. Far from it. We’re only just getting started, and the possibilities are both endless and exciting. After decades of clunky, error-prone, and literal-sounding machine translation, we’ve reached a pivotal moment where automated translation matches human quality. When fed t

International SEO is just SEO set on difficulty level: hard. Pick the wrong URL structure? Rebuild everything from scratch. Misunderstand local search behavior? Watch your content strategy crumble. Skip proper hreflang implementation? Google shows Hindi content to German users. The brands winning at international SEO don’t simply wing it. They follow a systematic approach to handle market research, technical setup, localization, and more. That’s why we created th
Ever read a perfectly translated ad that still felt off? That’s the gap transcreation closes. Instead of swapping words line‑for‑line, transcreation rebuilds a message so it lands with the same punch, humor, and emotion in every market. In this article, we’ll skip dwelling too much on theory and dive straight into real campaigns that nailed it (and a few niche gems you might have missed).

Three months after launching the Spanish version of your SaaS site, you open Google Analytics. Traffic looks like a ghost town. Then you check your SEO tool. The English page ranks in the top three. The Spanish twin sits on page two, buried under local blogs and a Reddit thread. Same product, same benefits, spotless grammar. Yet searchers never see it. What gives? The gap is likely in the search intent. Users in Madrid type different queries, skim pages differently, and expe
In this tutorial, we’ll set up GitHub Actions to manage translation files using Lokalise: no manual uploads or downloads, no reinventing a bicycle.
