Lokalise Lokalise: AI Visibility Report

lokalise.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about translation & localization, Lokalise ranks #2 of 15, a Visibility Score of 46 in Translation & Localization .

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.

How AI sees Lokalise

Strong localization contender, but the enterprise door stays closed.

Where it wins. A 59.7% mention rate puts Lokalise in nearly 6 out of 10 relevant AI conversations, and a rank of 2 out of 15 in Translation and Localization means the models consistently place it just behind the category leader.

Where it loses. First-pick selection sits at only 8.3%, meaning buyers hear the name but the AI rarely hands it the contract outright, and the total absence from Enterprise pick prompts leaves a meaningful buyer segment uncontested by Lokalise.
