The summer is long gone, the days are getting shorter, and we are all looking forward to wrapping this year up. So, before you get back to daydreaming about winter holidays and unwrapping presents, let's unwrap the new Localazy Release Update!
But before we do, one important thing!
🎙️ Join us at the Strapi + Localazy online event 🔗
Save the date of 27th October and join our developers David and Dan on the Strapi call with Paul Bratslavsky, who will talk about the story behind the Localazy plugin for Strapi.
You should absolutely join the call if you want to develop your own Strapi plugin, see our localization plugin in action, or just meet some of the guys behind Localazy. 😊

⚡ Zapier Integration 🔗
You can now create your own Zaps or use one of the example templates to integrate Localazy with over 5000 apps. Build your own workflows across platforms to stay on top of things and automate your localization workflow even more with Localazy and Zapier!
Learn how to Enhance your localization workflow with Zapier & Localazy
Localazy currently offers three Triggers and two Actions that enable you to connect any app as a new source of content for translation, send notifications to your teammates based on events happening in Localazy, and much more.
The possibilities are endless, and we are curious to see what kind of workflows you can come up with! To get started, read the docs or pick one of the templates below:
🔐 Language Permissions 🔗
Language permissions give Business plan users more granular control of their project contributors. Define who can translate only specific languages and decide on the project-wide rules.
New options in the project settings:
- New members can access all languages – Project members can see and contribute to any language in the project.
- Restrict new members from any access – Project members won't see any project languages unless assigned at least one.
Learn more about Language Permissions in the docs
🖇️ Duplicity Linking (beta) 🔗
Another boost for Business tier users is the Duplicity Linking feature, which is currently in beta.
Never translate the same content in different keys again. Localazy can detect duplicities in your project(s) and link them together to share translations across files and projects.
This feature will be perfect for multiplatform translation management or projects with multiple teams collaborating on different components that might reuse the same messages with varying keys in different files.
📇 New Translation & Review UI 🔗
We also updated our translation and review screens UI to better accommodate longer texts and make the view more compact. How do you like it?
💜 Strapi Plugin Improvements 🔗
Let's get back to Strapi. We are carefully listening to feedback and suggestions from our Strapi plugin users, and we are happy to announce that we have also improved the Strapi localization plugin since the last release!
You can always find the latest information in the changelog, but let me summarize it for you:
- Added Dynamic Zones support
- UX tweaks
- Untranslated fields fall back to source language items (including media)
