Storyblok partners with Lokalise to bring AI-powered translation and localization into content operations

35% of businesses publish content in only one language

Linz, Austria - January 24, 2024 - Storyblok, the content management system (CMS) category leader, has partnered with Lokalise, the leading one-stop solution for AI-powered translations and automated localization. 

Companies like CoachHub use the Lokalise integration to seamlessly translate content in Storyblok into multiple languages, leading to a 25% reduction in time spent on content management.

Businesses can reach customers worldwide, but most fail to truly connect with them because they don’t prioritize localization. Storyblok commissioned a global survey of 500 marketers, which revealed that 79% of companies publish content in only 1-3 languages in their CMS. The largest percentage (35%) publish content in just one language.

At the same time, 43% said translating and localizing content is extremely important, and only 7% said it’s not important. 81% agree that publishing content in more languages would help their customer acquisition efforts, while 44% of that group said it would be a ‘huge help’ for those activities.

AI appears to be the missing link in turning the desire for localization into action because an overwhelming 90% said they would consider using it to translate content in their CMS into more languages. Storyblok’s integration with Lokalise makes this possible by bringing AI-powered translations into the CMS.

Petr Antropov, Co-Founder of Lokalise, shared: "It's fascinating to see the size of the gap between companies that offer their products and services in only one language (35% of the survey's participants), and, say, half of Lokalise's 3500 customers that run their offers in eight or more languages. Thanks to recent technological developments which made localization no longer a challenge but an opportunity, that gap will not stay for long, and we're excited to play a part in the change."

Barry D’Arcy, VP of Partners at Storyblok, said: “Enterprises understand the value of translating their content, but many fail to prioritize it because the path forward appears to be unclear or overly complicated. Our partnership with Lokalise makes translation and localization a natural part of content workflows. 2024 should be the year that more businesses finally take multilingual content experiences seriously.”
