Access the same localization tools used by industry leaders
Operate multilingual projects in a controlled, scalable environment. Use AI orchestration grounded in your data to keep translations accurate and consistent.
AI orchestration grounded in your context
Use AI with the context your work depends on. Lokalise can apply your terminology and past translations so AI output stays consistent across research, documentation, and multilingual updates.
Terminology and consistency at scale
Keep key terms consistent across teams and languages. Shared glossaries and translation memory help everyone use the same wording, even when projects grow, shift, or new contributors join.
Structured collaboration
Give everyone a clear workflow and clear ownership. Roles, permissions, and approvals help research teams and partners collaborate without losing track of what changed, who reviewed it, and what’s ready.
Automation built for evolving projects
Make multilingual updates easier to maintain over time. Automation and integrations keep your translations in sync as content evolves, so your materials don’t drift across languages.
