Translation credits are the unified currency that powers all of Localazy’s translation services. Instead of separate billing for each feature, credits work across machine translation, professional human translation, and AI-powered tools from a single balance.

How credits work:

Your subscription includes monthly credits that automatically renew each billing cycle. These credits are sized to cover typical translation volumes for teams at your subscription level. Most users won’t need to think about credits - they just handle your regular translation work in the background.

What credits cover:

• Machine & AI translation: Localazy AI translation, bulk machine translation and Automations
• Professional human translation: Continuous localization services with real translators
• AI features: Upcoming AI-powered tools for quality, validation and analyses

Getting more credits:

If you’re processing larger volumes or want to use professional translation services, you can purchase additional credits anytime. These purchased credits don’t expire, unlike the monthly included credits.

1. Navigate to your Organization’s billing section
2. Go to “Services -> Overview”
3. Click on the “+ Increase” button
4. Select the desired amount and complete the purchase

The key benefit:

Credits give you flexibility to use your translation budget however makes sense for your project. Spend them all on machine translation for speed, professional translation for quality, or mix and match based on your content needs.

Your regular translation workflows (like in-editor suggestions) stay completely free and don’t use any credits.

A source key is a segment of text stored in Localazy, representing content in your source language. It’s a single string of text in your source language, e.g., a button label or a short paragraph of text in a dialogue window of your application. It can even be a short blog article written in Markdown syntax. In the picture below, there are three source keys; as you can see, each contains a different type of content.

You can imagine a source key as a single row in a spreadsheet you were previously using for translations.

Translations to other languages are unlimited, and translating your project to more languages does not affect the number of source keys used. I.e., the content of one source key translated into 10 languages still counts as one source key.

Don’t worry! You will still be able to use Localazy and all features in your plan without any restrictions. However, you won’t be able to publish your changes until you upgrade your plan.

You can increase your source key limit plus unlock additional features by upgrading to a higher tier.

These features are not yet available for use. These features are currently planned or already in the development process and will be available immediately when released for customers in respective tiers.

In the File Management section of Localazy, when downloading your files, you can select the desired format and download your strings in any of the available file formats.

Format Conversions feature is also an integral part of the Localazy CLI tool, so if you want to automate format conversions, you will need to install Localazy CLI on your preferred platform.

Note: Format Conversions are available only as a part of the Professional plan

A seemingly perfect design in one language might not necessarily be suitable for every localized variant. And it is the best practice to resolve problems that might appear before implementing the feature.

1. Upload texts from Figma into Localazy.
2. Add languages.
3. Quickly translate strings using the MT pre-translate feature.
4. In Localazy Figma Plugin, download the pseudo-localized content.
5. Test several translations, update the design and fix emerging issues.
