Tips & Best Practices

1. Separate projects by product or platform, not by language, so translation memory, glossaries and workflows are shared efficiently across all locales
2. Invest early in a terminology glossary with preferred terms, forbidden terms, and context - enforce it for all vendors and internal linguists to maintain consistency
3. Always attach screenshots, descriptions, and character limits to keys since lack of context is the main cause of poor translation quality
4. Use the Lokalise API, CLI, and native SDKs to automate string sync with your repositories instead of manual file uploads
5. Enable pseudolocalization to catch layout issues, truncation, missing string externalization, and RTL problems before real translations start
6. Pre-translate via AI plus translation memory as default, then have human linguists edit and approve - ~70% of translations are now machine-assisted in 2025
7. Define clear multi-step review workflows: translator to editor to in-country reviewer for high-impact content, lighter flows for low-risk UI copy
