Introducing AI Localizer: Effortless iOS and macOS App Translation

New App Launch: AI Localizer

At Wide Angle Software, we're thrilled to announce the launch of AI Localizer. It's our new macOS app designed to simplify and accelerate the app localization process for iOS and macOS developers. Whether you're a solo indie developer or part of a larger team, AI Localizer lets you easily translate your Xcode projects into 35+ languages. This helps you reach global audiences faster than ever before.

If you're not localizing your apps, you're missing out on huge pockets of prospective users on an international scale. Unfortunately, translating an app into multiple languages can be complex, costly, and time-consuming. We wanted to fix this.

Neil Benson, CEO of Wide Angle Software, sums it up perfectly:
Developers consistently struggle with app localization challenges. AI Localizer solves this problem by combining an intuitive interface with cutting-edge AI capabilities, allowing developers to connect with worldwide audiences quickly and easily.

AI Localizer is designed to give developers flexibility, control, and efficiency. Here's what makes it stand out:

• Translation Options: Choose to use the powerful AI Translation service, configure the app to use your own Microsoft Azure or Google Translate account, or manually manage translations.
• Language Support: AI Localizer supports a wide range of languages, allowing you to target virtually any market.
