Lokalise AI

Lokalise AI is the AI and machine-translation layer inside Lokalise’s localization management platform. It helps product, engineering, and content teams translate customer-facing content while keeping context, glossaries, translation memory, style guides, review tasks, and delivery integrations in one workflow. Standard AI/MT prioritizes speed and scale; Pro AI adds multi-LLM routing, context awareness, scoring, and optional human review.

✨ Key Features

• AI translation tasks — Create and manage automated translation tasks from a project dashboard or API.
• Standard AI/MT — Use Google Translate, DeepL, and base ChatGPT for quick, repetitive, lower-risk content.
• Pro AI orchestration — Route work across models such as ChatGPT and Claude based on language pair and content type.
• Context-aware translation — Use descriptions, localization assets, glossaries, and style guidance to control terminology and tone.
• Quality scoring — Score translations from 0–100 using MQM-oriented metrics and identify segments needing attention.
• Retranslation and human review — Flag low-scoring segments for retranslation or route higher-risk content to reviewers.
• Custom AI profiles — Reuse translation memory and existing examples as context for consistent brand output.
• Translation memory and glossary — Preserve approved translations and terminology across projects.
• Web and mobile localization — Edit content in context, use screenshots, and manage paged documents and key-based strings.
• Project automation — Configure tasks, workflows, integrations, webhooks, API, and CLI for repeatable localization.

💳 Pricing

Lokalise is paid software with a 14-day trial that does not require a credit card. When the trial ends, continued use requires a paid upgrade; the trial does not automatically create an invoice. Special open-source or nonprofit eligibility does not make the general product free.

• Explorer — US$169/month when paid monthly, or US$149/month equivalent when billed annually; 5 advanced seats.
• Growth — US$439/month when paid monthly, or US$379/month equivalent when billed annually; 10 advanced seats.
• Advanced — Starts at US$1,049/month equivalent with annual billing; 15 advanced seats. The monthly selector does not publish an equivalent monthly offer for this tier.
• Enterprise — Custom quote.

Project, language, processed-word, Standard AI/MT, and Pro AI allowances are separate limits and depend on billing period and add-ons. Official pages have used different units and quota periods, so a character quota must not be presented as a word quota. Check the selected pricing view, plan documentation, and trial exclusions for the account being purchased.
