How does it work? #️⃣
Upload your strings to Localazy, configure what languages you want to translate, and then just sit back and wait until the work is done. After you order the translation services of your choice, our localization manager will contact you to confirm your order. When everything is translated, by leaving the services enabled, Localazy will regularly scan for any new texts or changes and automatically translate them into the selected languages.
It’s a straightforward and zero-hassle way to introduce continuous localization to your project without any overhead.
Our Human translation services comprise of the following types of continuous localization services you can choose from:
Professional human translations #️⃣
Native-speaking professional translators, vetted by Localazy, translate your texts using the provided context and assistive tools. The same translators typically stay with your project long-term for consistency.
To ensure the best possible quality, we highly recommend the preparation of a project glossary, adding translation notes and context screenshots, and the composition of a style guide. Subsequent review is recommended to ensure that the translation is perfect.
Translations are automatically approved and ready to be used in your project if the Professional human review is not enabled at the same time.
Professional human review (MTPE) #️⃣
A native-speaking professional translator performs an editorial pass on your translations awaiting review. Use this service alongside Professional human translation for proofreading or use it individually for post-editing AI-generated or machine-translated outputs.
Translations should be completely free of grammatical mistakes. Please remember that the quality of translation depends on the provided context and last quality checks should always be made by people involved in the project who know every nuance.
Human-assisted machine translations #️⃣
A human picks the best output from several machine translation providers and corrects validation errors. The person may not be a native speaker of the target language.
Translations made by the Human-assisted machine translation are automatically approved and ready to be used in your project. With enough credits, you can get your project translated completely.
How to order translations for your project? #️⃣
Start by clicking on the Services -> Human translation services tab in the project menu.
1. Select languages #️⃣
Select a language you want to get translated. Every language has up to three icons next to it, indicating which of the services are available in the language pair.
2. Choose services #️⃣
After adding the language, select which of the services you’d like to enable and confirm the changes. Please note that some services can not be active simultaneously.
3. Purchase credits to start #️⃣
Before you can place your order, you’ll need to purchase some Localazy credits. You can see an estimate on how many credits it will cost to finish each service in the details, total estimate is displayed in the top section, together with your current balance and a button to purchase credits.
After you’ve purchased thre credits and everything is configured correctly, you should see a “Waiting for processing” above the language progress bar. Once the initial work is done, the service runs in the background and proactively scans your project to deliver new translations as soon as possible.
Once the translation process is finished, or your credits are depleted, you will receive an e-mail notification.
Translation progress states #️⃣
Each language shows a different status, which describes what is currently happening with the configured language service.
No service active
There is no active translation service for the given language.
Pending changes
You are currently modifying the configuration for the given language. To display the updated state, you need to save your changes.
Waiting for processing
You have correctly configured the service, and you’re all set. Localazy’s localization manager will acknowledge your order shortly.
Reviewing your request
The localization manager reviews your order, the amount of content to translate, and all the context you have provided, such as the glossary, screenshots, notes, etc.
Onboarding translator
A suitable translator has been selected and is now getting familiar with your project. The translator will soon start working on the translations.
Translation in progress
The translator is actively translating your content
This is the final state as long as you have enough credits or until you turn the service off. Even if the translator finishes and the user adds more content, it will remain in this state forever. It basically means that any time there is something to translate, the translator will do the work ASAP.
Not enough credit
The translation services are stopped until you top up your balance.
Transactions overview #️⃣
There is a chart icon button next to the estimated costs overview in the header, which opens the translation transaction overview for (up to) the past 90 days
Important Notes #️⃣
- Please note that the human services capacity may be limited, and the service does not deliver translations instantly as humans provide the services. Therefore, it takes some time before the translations and reviews are conducted, generally a couple of business days. We do our best to finalize pending translations in 1-2 business days and up to 5 business days for professional translations, based on language demand.
- Human services are disabled when your credit balance is insufficient.
- Please carefully read the terms and conditions to learn what you can expect after enabling each service.
- If you have any questions or would like to request additional language pairs, please contact us at team@localazy.com
