Localization can be automated: the experience of using Lokalise in combat conditions

Lokalise is a project localization service that allows you to automate the process of translating UI elements in mobile applications, software, and on the web. Usually, as a first step, you upload your localization files, and then the texts are corrected by product managers and translated either by your translators or by a hired team already on the Lokalise side.

This article aims to put an end to this and offer an updated insight into how people interact with touch screens, and how you can use this information to develop a better product.
