Dear {Boss Name},
I’d like to propose that we use Locize for our localization needs. Locize is a leading localization-as-a-service solution, trusted by developers and translators worldwide.
Here’s why I believe Locize is the right choice for us:
- Separation of concerns: We’ve been treating localization as just extracting texts from code, but it’s much more. Translations shouldn’t live in our code repository. The localization team should have early and ongoing access, enabling them to start translating features as soon as they’re ready for shipping.
- Streamlined process: Our current localization workflow causes delays and confusion—some terms are outdated, some new translations arrive after release, and we often scramble before launches. With Locize, we can update or add translations without shipping a new software release.
- Cloud-based management: Translations are managed in our Locize project and published to the Locize CDN for our application to consume. If we have concerns about production connectivity, we can download and bundle translations ourselves.
- Continuous collaboration: The localization team can work from day one and keep up with changes easily. Translations can be updated independently of app releases.
- Full transparency: We always know what’s translated, what’s machine translated, and what’s not. If we order translations from integrated providers, we can track open orders.
- Safe import/export: Even if we export and import translations, Locize’s tooling helps us merge and review all changes.
- Easy integration: I’ve already explored how we could integrate Locize, and it works seamlessly with our workflow.
- Cost-effective: The subscription fee starts at just $5 per month. We can choose between usage-based pricing (pay for what we use) or fixed plans for predictable monthly costs — whichever fits our needs best. See pricing details.
I’m confident that Locize will help us manage localization more efficiently and effectively. I strongly recommend we give it a try: locize.com
Did you know? The founders of Locize are also the creators of i18next, the leading open source internationalization framework that we’re already using.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Otherwise, I hope we can move forward with this opportunity.
Thanks,
{Your Name}
