Lokalise vs MultiLipi Comparison

Lokalise is purpose-built for mobile app developers. It excels at managing iOS/Android string files, JSON keys, and developer workflows. If you're translating Xcode projects or React Native apps, Lokalise is excellent.

But if you're running a Sito web , Lokalise has a critical gap: it doesn't handle SEO automatically. There's no built-in hreflang tag injection, no XML sitemap generation, and zero AI search optimization.

Mobile apps don't need SEO (they're not crawled by Google). Websites do. That's the fundamental difference.

MultiLipi is the web-first platform. We handle SEO, AI search optimization, and live content updates automatically—no developer required.

Facilità d'uso e qualità della traduzione

Developer-Centric vs Marketer-Friendly

Lokalise requires technical integration via CLI tools, API keys, and code deployments. Every content update requires a developer to push changes to production.

Il collo di bottiglia degli sviluppatori:

Marketing teams can't publish content updates without engineering support. This creates delays and slows down your go-to-market speed.

La soluzione MultiLipi:

Our platform is designed for non-technical users. Add a snippet to your site once, and from then on, all content updates happen instantly via the dashboard—no code deployments, no developer dependency.

⚡ Marketing Agility: Update translations in real-time without waiting for engineering sprints.

Visual Context

In Lokalise, translators work with key-value pairs (e.g., "button.submit" = "Submit"). They don't see where the text appears on the actual page, leading to context loss.

La soluzione MultiLipi:

We provide a Live Visual Editor where translators see the exact layout, images, and design context. This ensures translations fit the UI perfectly and maintain brand voice.

Oltre la traduzione: il vantaggio SEO e GEO

1. The SEO Gap

Lokalise has zero built-in SEO automation. You need to manually configure hreflang tags, canonical URLs, and sitemaps. This is fine for apps (which aren't indexed), but catastrophic for websites.

La soluzione MultiLipi:

We automatically inject hreflang tags, generate language-specific XML sitemaps, and manage canonical URLs. Your website is SEO-perfect out of the box.

  • Auto-generated hreflang tags for all language pairs
  • Dynamic XML sitemaps per language
  • Canonical URL management to prevent duplicate content penalties
  • Real-time SEO health monitoring (0-100 score)

2. La Rivoluzione GEO

Lokalise was built for the app store era. MultiLipi is built for the AI search era.

La soluzione MultiLipi:

We're the only platform natively optimizing for AI search engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity). We structure your content with Schema.org markup so AI agents can cite and recommend your brand.

Future-Proof:

60% of website traffic now starts with AI assistants. MultiLipi ensures you're visible in this new search paradigm.
