Question 1

Will AI translation break my variables like {player_name}, %1$s or <color=red>?

Accepted Answer

No. LocaFile AI locks your variables — {player_name}, %s, %1$d, tags, Laravel :name tokens, and subtitle tags like or \N — with regex token replacement before the AI sees them. The AI only sees plain text. Variables are restored byte-for-byte after translation in games, apps, and subtitles alike. This is the #1 reason developers avoid AI localization — we solved it.

Question 2

How much does game localization cost?

Accepted Answer

Three one-time passes, no subscriptions: Starter ($39, 15 credits, 30 days), Launchpad ($99, 45 credits, 90 days), Studio Pass ($249, 125 credits, 180 days). Human agencies charge $2,000+ for a single language. Generic AI tools charge per word and still break your variables. LocaFile AI includes all supported languages in every pass — no per-language fees.

Question 3

Do I need to create an account to localize my game?

Accepted Answer

No. LocaFile AI requires no login. You upload your file, pick a pass, pay via Stripe, and download your translated files. Your entitlement UUID is your dashboard key — no email, no password, no account to manage.

Question 4

Which file formats and platforms are supported?

Accepted Answer

LocaFile AI parses your format the way the platform actually reads it: Android strings.xml, iOS .strings, SRT / VTT / ASS / SBV subtitles, JSON / YAML / TSV files for websites, Laravel PHP lang arrays, Flutter ARB, PO/gettext, plus game files (Godot CSV, Unity CSV/YAML, Ren'Py, Unreal XLIFF). We detect your format automatically and respect its structure — keys stay untouched, only values are translated. ZIP uploads are supported for multi-file projects.

Question 5

Can you translate subtitle files like SRT or VTT?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LocaFile AI translates SRT, VTT, ASS and SBV subtitle files while preserving timing, cue positions, and inline styling tags. Translate subtitles to 28 languages in one pass, download a ZIP, no login required. From $39.

Question 6

Can you localize a website or web app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LocaFile AI localizes website and web app content too — JSON, YAML, TSV and gettext PO files used by static sites, Jamstack sites, Next.js, Vue, React, Eleventy and CMS-backed sites. We translate values only and lock your template variables ({{ var }}, %s, :name), so your site's structure and dynamic placeholders stay intact. No login required, from $39 per pass.

Question 7

How fast can I get my game localized for Steam Next Fest?

Accepted Answer

Minutes, not weeks. Upload your file, pick a pass, pay, and your translated ZIP is ready in minutes — all 28 Steam-supported languages in one batch. Agencies take 3 weeks and charge $2,000+. LocaFile AI ships same-day for $39 to $249, depending on your scope.

Question 8

What's the difference between the two passes?

Accepted Answer

Starter ($39) is for one indie game or SaaS v1.0 — 15 credits and 30 days of file retention. Launchpad ($99) is the standard for Steam launches — 45 credits and 90 days. Studio Pass ($249) is for studios with multiple games or continuous CI/CD deploys — 125 credits and 180 days. All passes are one-time, no subscriptions, no auto-renew.
