So, as always, grab a coffee, and let's see what's new! ☕️

🪁 New CMS integration: Webflow! 🔗
Localazy now integrates directly with Webflow, letting you manage your website translations in an intuitive interface designed for the job.
Export your content, translate it using our automated platform, and sync everything back to Webflow with a few clicks. No more copy-pasting between platforms or managing website localization in messy spreadsheets!
Why give it a shot? 🔗
- Keep your content structure intact - our integration preserves all your Webflow Collections and CMS items.
- Leverage machine translation, order professional translators, and collaborate with your team and translators – all in one place.
- Track changes and progress easily and prevent missing translations in your localized versions.

🔌 Improved integration flow 🔗
We have moved the 3rd party integrations from our Developer Console into the main interface and made it easier to work with them. Now, you can "install" one of our integrations into a project and manage it from the Integrations screen in the menu.
Apart from the brand-new Webflow integration, you can also find the following 3rd party platform connectors in Localazy:
Other localization plugins, such as Strapi, Figma and Directus, work as a 3rd party packages that can be found on the respective marketplaces, and sometimes come with additional platform-specific capabilities
🧭 New navigation layout available for a test flight 🔗
Localazy has also got a major update on its look and feel! We are getting rid of the bold blue header in favor of a sleeker interface with more breathing room for what matters — your translations.
Now, we want to gather feedback from you: you can choose between the old and new layouts to see what irks you and what delights you. You can enable or disable feature previews by clicking the ❓question mark icon in the top header and selecting the "Feature preview" option.
For now, only the navigation is available, but stay tuned for more cool things coming this year!
🏷️ Translation priority and tags 🔗
You can now tag and prioritize your source strings to get more control over your localization process. Create focused translation sessions by filtering strings based on tags – perfect for organizing UI elements, marketing copy, or legal content separately.
Set priorities to:
- Fast-track critical updates for your next release
- Balance machine translation vs human translation based on content importance
- Help your translation team understand what needs attention first
In addition, you can automate actions based on tags and automatically route different types of content through custom translation pipelines.
