In the project settings, enable publishing unapproved translations and enable the Professional human review service. This will make your AI translation available immediately in your downloaded files with asynchronous human review to catch any mistakes.

Question 3

What is a continuous translation, and how can the Human-assisted machine translation service help me localize my project?

Accepted Answer

Have you ever needed to order translations multiple times? Then you already know that there is quite a managerial overhead in handling the translation contract and translation delivery on its own.

Continuous translation (often called continuous localization) is the practice of translating your software as you build it, rather than batching strings up for one big translation push before each release. Every time a developer adds or changes a string, it flows into Localazy (through the CLI, an integration, or the API), gets translated, and flows back, without anyone freezing the codebase or passing spreadsheets around. Translation keeps pace with your release cycle instead of trailing behind it.

Human-assisted machine translation is one of the human translation services provided by Localazy and can help you get more languages faster with zero hassle. Select this serviceif you don’t want to be bothered fixing machine-translated output but don’t need professional review.

Human-assisted machine translation gives you a person in the loop who keeps up with your project: as strings land in “waiting for translation” or “waiting for review,” our humans pick the best output of our machine translation suggestions, enforces your glossary, and fixes the mechanical problems machines can sometimes leave behind: broken placeholders, missing variables, inconsistencies. Because it covers both the translation and review states, you don’t have to worry about human review at all.

Tip: Use Localazy AI to automatically translate your content and then send it to be reviewed. In the project settings, enable publishing unapproved translations and enable the Human-assisted machine translation service. This will make your AI translation available immediately in your downloaded files with asynchronous human review to catch any mistakes.

Translations processed 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. We advise you to follow up with thorough localization testing to correct possible mistakes.

Note: Human-assisted machine translation is structural QA, and the person handling your strings may not be a native speaker of every target language.

Set up the Human-assisted machine translation now, top up your translation credits and forget it. Our systems will work towards improving the multilingual support of your project while you sleep or focus on more important things.

Question 4

What is Machine Translation Post Editing?

Accepted Answer

Machine Translation Post Editing (MTPE) is the process of reviewing and editing the content translated by the machine translation engines giving it a final, more accurate result.

MTPE can include checking that all placeholders are correct and that the project-specific content is translated correctly and consistently.

Question 5

How to order Professional human translations in Localazy?

Accepted Answer

To order professional translations, sign up and upload your source texts to Localazy. We recommend you use one of the native integrations or getting your project connected with help from your developers to ensure a seamless experience. But you can start by simply uploading your files via the web interface.

After you upload your source texts to Localazy, activate the Professional human translations by following these steps:

Select the language(s) you want to get translated. If you can’t find a match for your language pair, please contact us.
Choose Professional human translations and turn the service on by clicking on the toggle button.
Check the estimated total cost of the selected services in the top right corner of the order screen and top up your credits by clicking on the + Increase button.
Click on the Place order button.

Please carefully read the terms and conditions to learn what you can expect after enabling the service.

After you order the translation services of your choice, our localization manager will contact you to confirm your order. Once the translation process is finished, or your credits are depleted, you will receive an e-mail notification.

When everything is translated, leave the services enabled, and Localazy will regularly scan for any new texts or changes and automatically translate them into the selected languages.

Question 6

Are unlimited source key uploads included in the plan?

Accepted Answer

Uploading content is included in every plan at no additional cost. What’s limited is the number of source keys your project uses. Translating those keys into any number of languages is unlimited and doesn’t cost extra.

Your subscription already includes a monthly credit allowance for machine translation and Localazy AI translation, so everyday automated translation work is covered without added charges. You pay only once that allowance runs out, when you order professional human translation, or when you purchase additional credits for other paid services.

Question 7

Can I get a translator specialized in a specific field for my project?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Whenever you request professional human translation for your project, our localization manager reaches out to you directly to obtain more information and expectations regarding the translation outcome, whether that’s gaming, e-commerce, marketing, legal, medical, manufacturing, or any other field.

Based on those details, they find a linguist with the right expertise for your language pair, confirm availability, and make sure the work gets delivered on schedule. The same procedure applies across every industry, including highly specialized or niche material.

Adding your industry and project type to your style guide still helps, since it gives our localization manager and linguists shared context from the start.

Question 8

Are translators assigned per project, or can I use the same team across my whole organization?

Accepted Answer

Human translation services are ordered and set up per project, through that project’s own Services menu, so by default each project gets its own translator assignment.

If you’d like the same translator team working across every project in your organization, share this preference with our localization manager. We try to keep the same linguists on related projects across your organization on a regular basis, but they might not always be available at the time you need them. If that happens, our localization manager will reach out to you directly to offer other alternatives.

For consistent terminology, use the Connected Projects feature to share your glossary and reuse translation memory across an organization’s projects.

Question 9

Does Localazy assign a backup translator if my main translator becomes unavailable?

Accepted Answer

Localazy aims to keep the same translator on your project long-term, so your content’s style and terminology stay consistent from one delivery to the next.

If that translator becomes unavailable, our localization manager arranges a replacement so translations keep coming on schedule. Whoever picks up the work draws on your project’s glossary, translation memory, and screenshots to match the same terminology and voice your project already has.

Question 10

Can I request a change of translator if I'm not happy with the results?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Contact our localization manager, describe the issue, and we arrange a different translator for your project.

If you just need existing translations checked or improved rather than reassigning the translator, order Professional Human Review (MTPE) as a separate service. A native-speaking linguist performs an editorial pass on your translations, whether they came from a human translator, MT, or AI translation, and reviews them for quality.
