Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Found it very easy to use and maintain, although our website code is locked down so I had to get IT to add it to individual US pages on our worldwide site. We needed what we thought was a simple, low-cost solution to provide American Spanish translation of our American English web pages. I researched a lot of companies but Localize came to be the sole option, given our limited resources. It is near impossible to find non-Spain Spanish auto translation. We bought the cheapest plan and it has been good. Translations happen quickly; no need to individually feed every changed sentence through to a person, which I dreaded. It's just me and the website. Of course, AI doesn't match the quality of human translations, but, for our needs, this is currently acceptable. I have contacted Support a number of times and their responses are quick, usually within the hour, and stated simply, so that someone like me can understand and learn. They were able to help me resolve my issue very quickly and were easy to communicate with. The tool is easy to use as well. Fairly easy to setup. Great option to offer multiple languages on your site / app. Customer success team is amazing. Strong product documentation. Robust features to help automate translations or phrases that repeat. The email alerts for phrase approval is also helpful. Cons Usage tracking is minimal (individual plan). There's rolling 30-day total that changes daily. I manually go in every day to grab the number, which I then add to my Excel doc. 1) On the cheapest plan, statistics are minimal: only number of page views. The number changes daily, reflecting the previous 30-days of page views, so I track it manually. 2) I am always moving Archived stuff back into Published. I wish it stayed Published. 3) Translating a page does not affect the page URL. Something to keep in mind if you need an ad to link to a translated "page". Or wish to track usage. I had a hard time ramping up, but once I learned how everything worked, it was great! While it is fairly easy to setup, there are some confusing components that can be overwhelming at first to people that are non-technical.
