Versions:
Lokalize 26.03.90, published by KDE e.V., is a computer-aided translation (CAT) system created primarily to streamline the localization of KDE software and other free and open-source projects. Operating within the Localization/Translation category, the application offers translators an integrated environment in which source text can be edited, glossaries consulted, and translation memories reused, significantly increasing consistency and throughput when working on large code bases or documentation sets. Beyond its KDE roots, Lokalize also functions as a general-purpose CAT utility that can process OpenDocument text files (*.odt); by leveraging the Translate-Toolkit internally, it extracts translatable strings into industry-standard XLIFF format, lets linguists work in a familiar bilingual view, and then merges the finished translations back into the original document without structural damage. The program’s 22 released iterations to date show a history of incremental improvements—ranging from enhanced file format support to better project management and terminology handling—culminating in the current 26.03.90 build that remains under active development in KDE’s gear repository. Typical use cases include localizing desktop applications, translating technical manuals shipped as ODT files, coordinating crowd-sourced community translations, and maintaining reusable translation memories for long-term projects. Lokalize is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always providing the latest version and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
