Quick Start
Get up and running with Localizia in under five minutes.
1. Create an account
Sign up at the registration page using your email or Google account. No credit card is required. You'll receive 1,000 welcome credits when you create your first organization.
2. Create an organization
After signing in you'll be prompted to create an organization. This is the workspace where your projects, files and credits live. You can invite team members later.
3. Create a translation project
Go to Translations in the sidebar and click New Project. Fill in:
- Project name — a descriptive name for your translation batch
- Source language — the language your content is written in
- Target language — the language you want to translate into
- Context (optional) — additional instructions for the AI, such as tone, domain or terminology preferences
4. Upload a file
Click Upload File inside your project and select an XLIFF file (.xlf or .xliff). Localizia supports XLIFF versions 1.2, 2.0 and 2.1.
Once uploaded, the file is parsed into individual translation segments. You'll see a table with all the source texts.
5. Translate
Click Translate All to translate every pending segment, or select specific segments first. You'll be asked to:
- Choose an AI model — see AI Models for a comparison
- Confirm the estimated cost in credits
The translation runs in the background. You can track progress in real time on the project page.
6. Review and edit
Once translation is complete, click any segment to open the Segment Editor. You can:
- Compare source and AI translation side by side
- Edit the translation
- Approve segments one by one
7. Export
When you're satisfied with the results, click Export to download the translated XLIFF file with all your changes.
