Case Study: Shapr ships 12 days faster by automating localization with Lokalise

Shapr’s tech team ships 12 days faster by automating the localization process with Lokalise

Shapr, a networking app available in English, Spanish and French, faced major localization headaches that caused endless revisions and release delays — one app release was held for a week because of typos. As a French company with 80% English-speaking users, Shapr needed full control over languages and a way to stop developers spending time on text management, so they adopted Lokalise’s cloud-based translation management solution (Lokalise Pro).

Lokalise delivered a cloud TMS with integrations (iOS SDK, Android SDK, CLI, API) and features like Mobile SDK insights, Inline suggestions, and Translation Memory; developers push keys to Lokalise, product owners review and provide translations, and automated suggestions speed work. The result: Shapr’s team ships 12 days faster, saved dozens of days in engineering time, could localize during Apple App Review, and essentially eliminated ongoing developer effort on localization after the initial setup.
