## The panel's verdict

Localazy, a localization platform from Localazy s.r.o. of Brno, is strongest on integrations and formats, a flat 7: a documented REST API with a CLI, Android and iOS SDKs, CI pipelines and claimed 60-plus integrations, though the Shopify, WordPress and Salesforce connectors are Enterprise. Machine translation and workflow and review cluster at 6-7 on four named engines plus Localazy AI, a translation memory and a review gate, with no published language list beyond the claimed 1,100+. Pricing transparency is a flat 5 — tiers run legibly from a free plan at 200 source keys to "$175 /mo", but Localazy credits carry no published price and the captured pages give different figures for words. Portability and exit scores 4-5 and content confidentiality 5-6, with no public information on exporting the translation memory or on whether translations are used to train models. Sovereignty splits the bench 4 to 7: those crediting the Brno entity, Scaleway hosting and a published agreement score high, while those weighing the policy statement that information may be transferred outside the European Union and unstated engine locations score low.

**Speaks for it:**
- Integrations and formats earns the top mark of 7, on a documented REST API with a CLI, Android and iOS SDKs, CI pipelines and claimed 60-plus integrations
- Four named machine translation engines plus Localazy AI are built in, with glossary and style-guide support that varies by engine
- Workflow and review scores 6-7, on a translation memory shared between projects, a glossary validated on save, and review roles with per-language permissions
- Pricing tiers are public with exact figures — a free plan up to 200 source keys, then "$34 /mo", "$78 /mo" and "$175 /mo" — with a 14-day trial and no credit card
- The contracting entity is Localazy s.r.o. of Brno, Czech Republic, with hosting stated as Scaleway and a published data processing agreement

**Held against it:**
- Portability and exit scores 4-5, with no public information on exporting the translation memory as TMX or the glossary as TBX, and retrieval assistance billed "by agreement based on complexity and time"
- We found no public statement on whether customer translations are used to train models, and ShareTM shares translation-memory suggestions across customers' projects
- Machine translation is metered in Localazy credits with no published price, and the price depends on the selected provider
- The policy states information may be transferred outside the European Union, and the captured pages state no engine or subprocessor locations
- Retention is fixed at 24 months after use rather than customer-set, and single sign-on and audit logs sit behind the tailored Enterprise plan

**Best for:**
- You ship apps or websites and want CLI, SDK and CI/CD localization for software formats such as JSON, YAML, XLIFF and Xcode String Catalogs
- You run a translation workflow that needs a shared translation memory, glossary validation on save, and review roles with per-language permissions
- You want to start free — up to 200 source keys with unlimited seats and languages — before stepping to a paid tier
- You want machine translation plus the option to order human translation, human review or human-assisted machine translation on the platform

**Avoid if:**
- You need end-to-end EU confinement of translated text — the policy states information may be transferred outside the European Union, and the engine chain includes Google, Amazon and Azure
- You must control retention yourself — the agreement fixes it at 24 months after use, with backups kept one month
- You localize a Shopify, WordPress or Salesforce site without an Enterprise plan — those connectors are listed as Enterprise
- You translate office documents with layout preserved — the published format list centers on software strings and spreadsheets, and PowerPoint is an Enterprise-assisted service

## Scores by judge and criterion

Scores out of 5, each judge scoring independently against the published rubric (v1). "n/r" = not rated: the vendor publishes no price, or the judge found no public information on that criterion.

### The judges

- **The Localization Manager** (v1.0): Runs localization for a Hamburg software company whose product, help centre and marketing site ship in fourteen languages, with two agencies and a pool of freelancers. Every release brings a few thousand new strings and a deadline. Wants one translation memory and termbase across all content, machine translation that respects the glossary, review steps per language, QA checks that stop a broken placeholder before it ships, and cost and progress per vendor in one view.
- **The App Developer** (v1.0): Lead developer of a web app and two mobile apps at a Vienna start-up, with strings in JSON, xcstrings and Android XML. Has hand-merged translation files once and will not do it again. Wants a CLI and a GitHub sync that opens pull requests, over-the-air updates so a typo fix does not need an app store release, an API that does everything the interface does, and ideally an open-source edition they could run themselves if the vendor changes course.
- **The In-House Document Translator** (v1.0): Works in the legal and export team of a machine builder in Baden-Württemberg with customers in France, Italy, Poland and China. Translates contracts, operating manuals and supplier correspondence every day, with no translation management system and no wish for one. Needs translations that read like the company wrote them, the company's terms kept through a glossary, Word and PDF files back with their layout intact, and a written promise that a draft contract is not kept or used to train anything.
- **The Data Protection Officer** (v1.0): Data protection officer of a health insurer whose staff translate letters to members, HR documents and internal guidelines. Found a free translator in the proxy logs and had to explain to the board what had been pasted into it. Reads the terms before the feature page: how long texts are kept, whether they train a model, which engines and LLM providers a platform passes them to, who the subprocessors are and where, and whether the contract names a European entity.
- **The E-Commerce Marketer** (v1.0): Runs marketing for a Shopify shop selling cycling apparel from Munich, live in German and English and due in French, Italian, Dutch and Spanish before the spring season. Has no developer and no translator on staff. Wants product pages, checkout and emails translated in days, a way to fix a bad product name by hand, multilingual SEO that search engines index, and a monthly price that does not double when the catalogue grows.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has seen "human quality" on an engine nobody has evaluated in public, "we never store your data" next to a TMS that forwards every segment to three LLM providers, and a translation memory built over six years that could only leave as a spreadsheet. Reads that a product is "enterprise-grade secure" and asks how long the text is kept, which models it reaches, and whether the memory and termbase export as TMX and TBX — and what leaving would cost.
