Introduction

Ilya Donder

Welcome to Localit.io - a modern translation management system designed for teams building multi-platform applications.

What makes Localit.io different?

Traditional localization is slow, expensive, and platform-specific. We built Localit.io to solve the core problem of modern development: why translate the same text three times for iOS, Android, and Web when you can do it once?

Key advantages

Multi-platform approach

Translate once, export everywhere. Our unified key system lets you manage iOS, Android, and Web translations in a single project, eliminating duplicate work and ensuring consistency.

AI-powered translations

Choose from multiple AI services (ChatGPT, DeepL, Google Translate) or professional human translators through Gengo integration. Get initial translations in minutes, not weeks.

Developer-first workflow

Native GitHub and GitLab integration means translations sync directly with your codebase. No more manual file exports - changes flow automatically through your CI/CD pipeline.

Built for teams

Real-time collaboration with built-in chat, comments on translation keys, and role-based permissions. Even supports voice messages and file sharing within your localization team.

Universal placeholders

Convert platform-specific placeholders (iOS %@, Android %s, Web {{name}}) into a universal format that exports correctly for each platform automatically.

100+ languages supported

From major world languages to regional dialects, with proper plural rules and cultural considerations for each locale.

Flexible export options

Export in any format you need - JSON, XML, .strings, .po, .srt, and more. Customize file structure, filtering, and naming conventions to match your project requirements.

Mobile-friendly

Full-featured mobile app lets translators work from anywhere. Perfect for remote teams and freelance translators across different time zones.

Cost-effective scaling

Transparent pricing that's significantly lower than enterprise competitors, making professional localization accessible for startups and growing companies.
