But before we do, one important thing!

⚡ Zapier Integration
You can now create your own Zaps or use one of the example templates to integrate Localazy with over 5000 apps. Build your own workflows across platforms to stay on top of things and automate your localization workflow even more with Localazy and Zapier!
Learn how to Enhance your localization workflow with Zapier & Localazy
Localazy currently offers three Triggers and two Actions that enable you to connect any app as a new source of content for translation, send notifications to your teammates based on events happening in Localazy, and much more.
The possibilities are endless, and we are curious to see what kind of workflows you can come up with! To get started, read the docs or pick one of the templates below:
🔐 Language Permissions
Localazy Language PermissionsLanguage permissions give Agency plan users more granular control of their project contributors. Define who can translate only specific languages and decide on the project-wide rules.
New options in the project settings:
- New members can access all languages – Project members can see and contribute to any language in the project.
- Restrict new members from any access – Project members won't see any project languages unless assigned at least one.
Learn more about Language Permissions in the docs
🖇️ Duplicity Linking (beta)
Another boost for Agency users is the Duplicity Linking feature, which is currently in beta.
Never translate the same content in different keys again. Localazy can detect duplicities in your project(s) and link them together to share translations across files and projects.
Image of the new duplicity analysis from our internal testing.This feature will be perfect for multiplatform translation management or projects with multiple teams collaborating on different components that might reuse the same messages with varying keys in different files.
Please contact us if you are on the Agency plan and want to help us test this feature in early access mode.
📇 New Translation & Review UI
We also updated our translation and review screens UI to better accommodate longer texts and make the view more compact. How do you like it?
