Case Study: Immersive Communities achieves global localization for a 10-language launch with Locize

How Immersive Communities leveraged locize to manage localization

Immersive Communities, a social media platform for content creators built by a solo developer, needed to achieve full localization in 10 languages for its global launch. The challenge involved managing translations and handling complex grammatical rules like plurals, as well as styling text with CSS gradients within translated content. The company turned to the vendor, Locize, and its localization platform to solve this problem.

Locize provided a solution with its support for multiple projects and namespaces, allowing for organized translation management across different parts of the website. A key feature was the automatic translation powered by Google Translate, which was further enhanced by Locize’s compliance with i18next standards to handle plurals and other grammatical cases. The platform successfully managed the complex localization of the landing page, including text with embedded Markdown for styling, enabling a fully globalized launch. The solo developer found Locize invaluable and plans to use it for future projects.
