Localizing your product with Locize: a practical start
Starting localization with [Locize](https://saaskart.co/software/locize) goes smoothest when you prepare the source first. Externalize all strings from code, remove hardcoded text, and make sure your keys are descriptive. Then connect Locize to your codebase or content and import your source language as the base. Its tight i18next and framework integration keeps everything in sync as you add content. Add context, character limits and screenshots so translators produce copy that fits your UI. Pick your priority languages based on where your users actually are rather than translating everything at once. Run a pseudo-localization pass to catch layout and encoding issues before real translation. A clean, context-rich setup is what prevents the endless back-and-forth that makes localization feel painful.
