For Enterprises
Is i18n enough?
We believe not. The closer the release date of your product gets the more obvious it gets, that instrumenting your code for localization is not enough.
There are more points to address:
How does the translation process work?
How do the source files get to the translators and back?
How do you keep track which parts are already translated and which parts are not - and additional are all target languages fully translated?
How do you deploy new languages after release?
How do you handle versioning?
How do you update / fix typos in translations after deployment?
Translation Management Systems (TMSes) address exactly this set of problems. The todays landscape has many options β most are now built for continuous localization rather than one-time document translation, and the differences are in how each one integrates with the developer runtime, plural format handling, CDN delivery, branches and versions, AI translation, MCP integration, and so on.
For a detailed comparison of TMS options against i18next-specific criteria β including
saveMissingintegration,i18next-clisupport, native plural handling, in-context editors, CDN delivery, and the new generation of MCP servers β see Translation Management Systems.
Locize

Locize is the localization-as-a-service platform built by the i18next team. The close integration with i18next removes the glue code that other TMSes require and funds the continued development of the library itself.
Locize brings you:
A beautiful editor to edit your translations
Continuous localization workflow β translation updates ship via CDN without redeploying code
An in-context editor to edit translations directly in your live application
Progress and usage reporting; runtime per-key "last used" tracking via the
locize-lastusedpluginNative i18next plural format support (v3 and v4) plus per-locale CLDR plural expansion across all target languages
Branches, versions, and multi-tenant (per-customer overrides) in one platform
Missing keys flow into Locize automatically β full
saveMissingclosed-loop viai18next-locize-backendAI translation with bring-your-own-key (OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral, Lara, DeepL) and a 22-tool MCP server in the official Model Context Protocol Registry for editor-native workflows from Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code Copilot
CDN-hosted translations on Standard, Pro, and private tiers β or self-host if you prefer
While Locize provides the security and scale required by global enterprises, we believe professional localization should be accessible to everyone. Thatβs why weβve introduced a Free plan alongside our new fixed and usage-based plans β see pricing β allowing you to start small and scale predictably as you grow.
