Localazy comes with highly accurate shared memory (ShareTM), allowing you to obtain instant translations of your app into 80 languages for free by 50% on an average app.
But what about the rest?
Here comes another simple solution from Localazy labs 🥼.
Enabling Virtual Translator for your apps will regularly scan for new phrases and automatically translate them into selected languages. It’s a cheap and simple way to introduce continuous localization to your apps without any effort. Even if you are going to request professional translations at a later stage of your project, completing it will require much less work.
Virtual Translator is a human-assisted neural network
Using a bare machine translation engine is free as far as you do not consider your time and quality assurance. However, in the software localization domain, you will soon find out that many of those translations are just not the right fit. For example, the word “book” is usually considered by MT engines as a piece of literature, while in software, the more common meaning is a reservation, eg. booking a room. The challenge to assure the right translation is chosen deepens when it is in the alphabet you even do not know how to read.
⏳ Virtual Translator saves your time
Why spend your time on tasks you can automate, delegate or cut out of your workflow? Virtual Translator does it all!
đź’° Virtual Translator saves your money
According to Proz, the average cost of professional translation in general domain per word starts at $0.10 per word. With Localazy, you can cut the price by 50%. How is that possible? VT is a human-assisted neural network cutting the need for human work with the priority of faster progress, keeping the reasonable quality on the eye. It is perfect if you want to quickly populate new language while keeping the costs at a reasonable level.
đź’‚ Virtual Translator protects your attention span
What is worse than losing your attention? Switching context is very expensive and productive people hate it. On the other side, not paying attention to these will drop your productivity as well. Focus on code and let Localazy do the work you might prefer to outsource.
Most people wear a lot of hats every day. Your title might be “senior developer” but you’re also “pseudo-project manager,” “part-time designer” and “chief of inbox relations.” In our own research, we found that software developers spend just 41% of their time each day doing… well, software development.
