What is AI Localizer?
AI Localizer is an AI-powered translation tool for Xcode project code, designed specifically for iOS and macOS developers who want to localize their apps into 35+ languages. The macOS application automatically scans Xcode projects to find all localizable strings and translates them using powerful AI translation services, Microsoft Azure, Google Translate, or manual input. Changes save instantly directly into Xcode, making the localization process seamless and efficient.
Key features include effortless localization that automatically finds all localizable text in apps, support for up to 37 languages, and compatibility with SwiftUI, Storyboard, XIB interfaces, and both .strings and .xcstrings formats. The tool offers multiple translation options including AI Translation, Microsoft Azure, Google Translate, and manual translation. It also includes proofreading export functionality that allows users to export translations to CSV format for human review and import changes back with a single click. The app is private and secure, sending only strings to the chosen translation service with no data collected by Wide Angle Software.
AI Localizer is ideal for solo indie developers, small project teams, and large organizations working with Xcode on Mac who want to reach global audiences faster. It simplifies app localization by saving time and money, eliminating the complexity, cost, and time traditionally associated with translating apps into multiple languages. The intuitive interface makes it easy regardless of experience level, catering to projects from solo developers through to large organizations.
