The Localize Solution
Worked closely in collaboration with the Localize Customer Success team to establish translation workflows that aligned to their deadline

David Ishikawa (Product Director) and Dylan Law (Front-End Developer) worked closely in collaboration with the Localize Customer Success team to establish translation workflows that aligned to their deadline. To initiate the process, they crafted a thorough glossary of industry terminologies enhancing the efficiency of their translation process. The installation of Localize proved to be smooth and uncomplicated. Phrase content was swiftly identified and seamlessly integrated into the platform for translation within a matter of minutes.

To meet their clients' exacting standards, Tabist sought accurate and high-quality human translations. Localize's dashboard proved instrumental in overseeing these translations. The current workflow initiates Japanese phrase content with a human translation specifically tailored for the inbound traveler. Subsequently, Localize reduced what was a previously 3-hour task to a new phrase workflow with little time or effort needed.

“Our translation proofreader truly maximizes the use of Localize’s Defined Variables feature, effectively reducing the number of similar phrases that need to be reviewed. This significantly streamlines our proofreading process.” - Dylan Law, Front End Developer

Q & A

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about our localizaiton tool.

How did Localize help Code.org reduce localization cycle time?

Localize helped Code.org combine AI translation, targeted human review, in-context editing, glossary support, and real-time publishing in one localization workflow. 

How does Localize keep translations accurate for content students and teachers rely on?

Every translation can go through human review before it is published. Reviewers see it in context on the actual page, so they catch a mistranslated coding term as easily as an off-tone sentence. A shared glossary keeps words like "loop" and "function" consistent across all 29 languages Code.org supports.

What results did Code.org achieve with Localize?

Code.org reduced localization cycle times by 50%+, eliminated publishing delays, and improved cross-language consistency across thousands of lessons.

How does Localize support ongoing localization maintenance?

Localize helps teams detect, translate, review, and publish multilingual updates continuously, so that translated content stays current as source content changes.

Is human review still part of the workflow?

Yes. Code.org uses AI translation for speed and human review where quality, terminology, tone, and cultural relevance matter most.
