Quick Summary
Developer-first TMS with full control over translation keys, build-time integration, and support for mobile apps with OTA updates.
Best for:
- React, Vue, Next.js, and modern frameworks
- Mobile apps (iOS, Android, React Native)
- Complex strings with ICU plurals/variables
Localize
JavaScript-based website translation that auto-detects and translates text via a script snippet.
May work if:
- You have a simple marketing website
- You want quick setup without code changes
- Your content is mostly static text
Key Differences
Integration Approach
IntlPull integrates with your i18n library at build time. Localize injects a script that translates the DOM at runtime.
Mobile Support
IntlPull offers native mobile SDKs with OTA updates. Localize is web-only (JavaScript required).
Performance
IntlPull bundles translations at build time (zero runtime cost). Localize adds script overhead and may cause content flicker.
