I'm the developer behind LocaFlow. Here's the backstory:
I've built several iOS apps over the past few years. Every single one stayed English-only because I dreaded the localization process. The typical workflow:
1. Open Localizable.strings as a source code 2. Copy-paste pieces of strings to ChatGPT or Claude manually 3. Copy-paste translations back 4. Test everything 7. Repeat for each language and every app update
This would take me 8+ hours per app. I kept putting it off.
Last quarter, I finally decided to localize one of my apps. Halfway through the Saturday I spent on it, I thought "I'm a developer... why am I doing this manually?"
So I built LocaFlow.
What it does: - Select your the app project on your computer - AI translates to 50+ languages - Takes about a few minutes instead of hours/days
What's different: - No "bring your own API key" friction (I handle translation API costs) - Preserves formatting (variables, plurals, special characters) - Simple pricing: $19/month (or generous free plan) - Built by a developer who uses it for his own apps
Technical details: - Uses AI for translation (better context understanding than Google Translate) - Validates string formatting before/after translation - Handles iOS plural forms, Android string arrays, etc. - Can process batch translations (entire app at once)
Happy to answer questions about implementation, pricing, roadmap, or anything else.
