Lokalog

🌟 What's new?

You can now automate Lokalise Vantage with the first version of its public API. It uses the same API access key you already use with the Expert API.

• Create projects and upload files for translation.
• Check translation status.
• More to come. Advanced features such as translation memory, glossary, and reviews will be added to the public API later.

The API is in beta, so some changes may happen as it evolves.

🎯 Why it matters to you?

You can plug Vantage into your own tools and workflows without manual steps. Developers can start building today with the documentation.

🌟 What's new?

We've removed the Files tab from Vantage projects. Everything you did there now lives in the Content Manager.

• File-related actions in one place. Manage them from the Content Manager.
• The same experience for every project type. File-based and integration-based projects now work the same way.
• Documentation updated to match.

🎯 Why it matters to you?

There is one clear place to manage content, so your workflow is simpler. Switching between project types is easier because nothing works differently.

🌟 What's new?

Our onboarding course has been fully refreshed with new videos, written guides, and quizzes. It is now split into two free courses:

• Lokalise Essentials. The basics, including team and project management, the editor, uploading and downloading files, and creating tasks.
• Lokalise Advanced. AI profiles, workflows, analytics, developer tools, and more.

Both courses are free, and you get a certificate when you pass the exam.

🎯 Why it matters to you?

New team members can get up to speed quickly. Experienced users can go deeper into advanced features, and you get a certificate to show for it.

🌟 What's new?

Our Analytics now includes a Users dashboard. It gives workspace admins a clear view of how members, access, and Advanced seats are being used.

• Advanced seat usage. See how many seats you use and how many are free.
• Active vs. idle members. Spot who is working in Lokalise and who isn't.
• Roles and user groups. Understand how they shape project access.
• Broad access, little activity. Find members who can reach a lot but rarely do.
• Member deep dive. Open any member to see their activity, sign-ins, project access, and language-level usage.

🎯 Why it matters to you?

As teams grow, it gets hard to tell who actually uses Lokalise and whether paid seats are well used. This puts that information in one place, so you can make better decisions on seat allocation, inactive members, and access hygiene. And you can do it all yourself, with no custom reports or support requests.

🌟 What's new?

lokex-cli, our open-source command line tool for uploading and downloading files, can now build an upload list straight from your folder structure. Before, multiple translation files usually meant uploading them one at a time.

• Generate a manifest in one command. Point the tool at your locales folder and it picks up language codes and file names from the paths automatically.
• Upload everything in one go. Run a single upload command using the generated manifest.
• Handles complex setups. Wildcards (*, **) and custom placeholders mean nested folders and monorepos work too.

🎯 Why it matters to you?

Less manual work and fewer mistakes when your project has many files and languages. It also works in automated pipelines, not just GitHub Actions.

🌟 What’s new?

Vantage is live. It's a new workspace built around the way marketing teams work, so your blog posts, landing pages, campaigns, and decks can be localized in one intuitive place. It runs on the language intelligence you already trust: translation memory, terminology, quality checks, AI translation, and orchestration.

Here's how it works for your team:

• Localize where content already is. Content flows in from Google Docs, your CMS, or files, and goes back out in the same format.
• Live preview, real layout. In-Context Preview updates as you edit, so you're always looking at the finished page.
• Built on shared language assets. The translation memory your company has already built carries over.

Vantage sits alongside the existing Lokalise workspace. With two workspaces in one platform, anything your company publishes has a home in Lokalise.

🎯 Why it matters to you?

Marketing content no longer needs a separate process, tool, or migration. Your team works in a familiar, intuitive workspace, and the language intelligence you've already built carries over. Your best content can reach every market you sell in, and getting a new project started is quick.

Existing customers need no setup or migration. Open Vantage and create your first project.

🌟 What’s new?

The Lokalise MCP Server is now fully released and available to all plans, you can set it up and start using it right away. You can connect Lokalise to AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT and control localization tasks using natural language — no manual API calls, documentation lookup, or custom integration scripts required.

You can trigger actions such as updating translations, managing keys, or exporting content simply by prompting your AI tool, which handles the API logic behind the scenes.

🎯 Why it matters to you?

Localization can now fit seamlessly into your AI-powered workflow instead of slowing it down.

• Work with Lokalise directly from your AI assistant

• Automate repetitive localization tasks with simple prompts

• Reduce context switching between tools

• Ship multilingual updates faster with less manual effort

Tasks that previously required multiple steps and engineering time can now be completed in seconds, helping your team move faster without added complexity.

🌟 What's new?

You can now retrieve existing AI Scoring results alongside your translations through the Lokalise API. Add include_ai_scoring=1 to the supported key and translation endpoints to access the overall score, last updated timestamp, and issue-level details such as category, severity, comment, and penalty.

• GET /keys with include_ai_scoring=1
• GET /keys/{key_id} with include_ai_scoring=1 and include_translations=1
• GET /translations with include_ai_scoring=1
• GET /translations/{translation_id} with include_ai_scoring=1

This is an opt-in, backward-compatible change, so existing integrations remain unaffected unless you add the new parameter. Scoring remains asynchronous: when a result is not available yet, the API returns ai_scoring: null. This update does not cover lqa_by_ai task results or provide a standalone endpoint for submitting arbitrary content for scoring.

🎯 Why it matters?

You can use AI Scoring signals to route lower-scoring translations for human review, support quality reporting and governance, and build automated workflows around your existing translation data. AI Scoring is intended as a routing signal to help prioritize review—not as a definitive quality measure or an automatic approval or rejection mechanism. The feature is available to customers with access to AI Scoring, with no additional pricing change.

🌟 What's new?

Custom AI Profiles now include Proof of Value — a fully automated quality evaluation comparing three translation methods (Custom AI Profile, Base Profile, and Standard AI/MT) using your own content, in under 15 minutes.

The feature gives you:

• A quantitative dashboard — perfect match %, edit distance, and AI Scoring, with a clear winner highlighted
• A side-by-side qualitative view of real translation examples, so you can judge quality yourself

🎯 Why it matters?

Results are based on your content — not generic benchmarks — so they speak directly to your localization reality. You can move from gut feel to data-driven confidence, without any Lokalise involvement, with no additional setup required beyond your existing AI Profile.

🌟 What's new?

Lokalise Analytics is now officially out of beta and available in all plans, bringing Translation Quality, translation memory (TM) analytics, and AI Scoring together in one experience.

You can now:

• Measure reviewer intervention and editing effort using post-edit rate, edit distance, and related quality signals.
• Drill down by project, language, workflow, translator, reviewer, and more.
• Understand potential TM coverage when creating tasks, including coverage score, weighted word count, and match distribution.
• Track actual TM leverage in Usage, including TM-leveraged words, translations, and share of total words.
• Compare AI quality signals with reviewer behaviour using the new AI Scoring dashboard, including score coverage, confidence, flags, issue severity, issue type, and language-pair trends.

An AI Score is a quality signal to interpret alongside post-edit rate, edit distance, and review activity — not a standalone verdict on translation quality.

🎯 Why it matters?

You can move beyond isolated metrics to understand where reviewers spend time, where TM can reduce effort, and where it's already improving efficiency.

This gives you a clearer foundation for identifying patterns across projects, workflows, language pairs, and reviewers — and making more informed localization decisions.
