Features & Functionality

Machine translation: Lokalise uses machine translation to give you a quick solution, no matter the time zones or language combination. It takes seconds to translate one word and will save you hours of work with every piece.
Translation memory: once you have translated a text (a word or phrase), Lokalise memorizes it for next translations. It helps to avoid repetitions and achieves better quality in your translations.
Automatic notification system: The plugin notifies you about new entries that should be translated. You can also specify an automatic notification for some or all of your localizations; this will help you to keep track of them without having to remember doing it manually every day.
Translation team: If you are working with translators on different projects, then Lokalise has the ability to create teams which allow more efficient collaboration. A team can be limited to a single project, or it can span multiple projects, moderated by the same administrator.
Translation notifications: Lokalise sends you emails about translations submitted by your translators. You are able to track all of your ongoing localization projects from your account on the Lokalise platform.
Integrations: It allows you to connect to Slack, Trello or Zapier, through which you can receive notifications for specific tasks.
