POEditor
Simple, affordable localization management for small teams
About
POEditor is a straightforward localization platform with string-based pricing: you pay for the number of strings in your account, and a permanent free plan covers 1,000 strings. It supports bring-your-own-key AI translation through OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and other providers, plus translation memory, glossaries, automated workflows, and integrations with GitHub, GitLab, and Figma.
The feature set is deliberately leaner than enterprise platforms, and string counts grow with each added language.
What it can do
- String-based predictable pricing
- Bring-your-own-key AI translation providers
- Automated localization workflows
- Translation memory, glossaries, and QA checks
- Full API and repo integrations
Setup
- Create a project at poeditor.com (free up to 1,000 strings).
- Import your language files (JSON, PO, XLIFF, ARB, and more).
- Connect a repo or Figma for sync and add contributors.
- Run pre-translation or AI translation, then review in the editor.
- Export translations or pull them via the API.
Prerequisites
Language files in a supported format; a POEditor account.
