lokero

Lokero is a localization management platform designed to help software teams localize applications for international markets. It provides a centralized workspace for translators, reviewers, and developers, with tools aimed at improving speed, accuracy, and consistency across languages. Lokero supports multiple content origins, including software resource files, websites, and mobile app strings, and emphasizes collaborative workflows and end-to-end traceability.

Key features include a translation memory to reuse previous translations, a centralized glossary to enforce terminology, and context-aware editors with screenshots and live previews. It offers automated quality checks for consistency, placeholder validation, and style guidance. Lokero supports machine translation with human review, customizable workflows with roles and permissions, and robust APIs and webhooks for integration into development pipelines. It also imports and exports common file formats such as JSON, YAML, PO, and XLIFF.

Lokero is delivered as a cloud-based SaaS, with an on-premises option for larger organizations. The platform is API-first, providing REST and GraphQL endpoints, events via webhooks, and a modular plugin system for extending functionality. It integrates with version control platforms, continuous integration/continuous deployment pipelines, and content management systems to automate string extraction, translation synchronization, and deployment of localized assets alongside code.

The Lokero project originated as an open-source toolkit and evolved into a commercial localization platform. It has been adopted by startups and enterprises seeking scalable translation workflows and consistent terminology across products in multiple languages. See also: translation management system.
