Professional translation services

When you need translations done by people rather than machines, Localizely lets you order them from Gengo, a professional translation provider, directly from your project. Your content goes out, the translations come back into the project, and your team reviews them in the usual editor.

Gengo's network counts over 21,000 translators, each tested and qualified to meet its quality standards. They work from every time zone, which keeps turnaround times short and covers over 38 languages.

The organization owner and admins can place orders. Prices start from $0.06 per word.

Gengo translators never get access to your Localizely project. To translate accurately, they receive only the context you have attached to each string:

Placing an order

Open the Translation Orders page, which lists the orders placed for your organization's projects.

Click New order to open the order form. Start by choosing the project you want translated. If the project has branching enabled, also pick the branch the translations should go into. Then work through the steps below.

Source language

Choose the language the translators will translate from.

Target languages

Choose one or more languages to translate into. The list shows only the languages Gengo supports.

Include in order

Decide which strings to send:

Filter by tags

To narrow the order further, include only string keys that carry specific tags. This is handy when you want to translate a single feature or screen.

Translation quality

Pick the level that matches your content:

Order summary

Before you confirm, the summary shows how many string keys go to each target language and the exact price of the order. Small orders are often delivered within a few hours.

When the translations are delivered, the person who placed the order is notified by email.

Reviewing the translations

Delivered translations land in your project, where you can review them like any other translation. If something is not right, use the order's comments to ask the translator for a correction.

Correction requests are accepted for 120 hours after delivery.
